A reminder as we head into Severe ME Day.

#SevereMEDay #SevereME #pwME #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #UnitedForME

In August, we especially take time to honor the 25% living with the most severe form of this disease & remember those who have lost.

Muted photo with two rocks with a word on them- pause and reflect. Text in top corner: "Let us pause together before Severe ME Day." #MEAction logo in bottom corner.

This story is one of the most disturbing I've ever covered. It's about how the views of a deeply weird ideological sect affected science, medicine and the media, with devastating impacts on patients. Please read and pass on. This horror has to stop. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
