Isla's mother has been arrested under suspicion of causing her death from ME last year (heart failure). There was no inquest. Isla's younger sister (15), who also has ME, has been removed from the only people who understand how the disease must be managed. Imagine her fear.

As a clinically vulnerable person I'm terrified of having to go into a healthcare setting as the risk of airborne infection is so great & nothing is done to prevent it. It doesn't have to be this way. Last big push for this crucial petition. Thanks so much 🙏 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

@lcmebillboards.bsky.social Edinburgh leafletting action today, to raise awareness of the lives & livelihoods still being destroyed by Long Covid & ME/CFS, unforgivable lack of action by Government & failure to inform the public of continuing real risks to health. #LongCovidAwarenessDay2025

I was very pleased to speak for people with ME at this meeting. Thanks to @inclusivenew.bsky.social for setting it up.
Delighted to meet y’day with Social Security Scotland's CEO & Chief Medical Adviser to discuss lived experience of pandemic-disabled people (CV, Long Covid, vax injury, MECFS) & how to address assessment & delivery issues 🙏 @murtoz.bsky.social @meactionscotland.bsky.social @salwitcher.bsky.social
