Just an old hippy at heart. Trying to still be a person despite long term #ME
Here mainly for research and advocacy
"The myth that the community are just some rabid keyboard warriors having a go at those on high (as perpetuated by one chairman of a particular charity) is one that needs dismantling." More from @longcovidadvoc.bsky.social on their new online shop.

#pwme Please sign this open letter. An MEA chairman is mocking & patronising pwme, worse, those with severe/very severe ME. What he said is unacceptable anywhere, worse in a ME charity publication. This will be seen by newly dx ppl. It's not only ignorant & dismissive, it's dangerous. #MEcfs
The full text of the column from the chairman of the MEA is here: docs.google.com/document/d/e...
It's condescending, scientifically wrong & undermines the key message of rest helps movement.
An open letter in response you can sign if you wish to is here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

🔗 below to sign the letter asking for an apology & retraction of this comment
I do feel that given his incredibly ill informed harmful comment he's not suitable for the role of Chairman of the @MEAssociation & he should step down
There's too much at stake for #pwME

Action for ME have chosen to leave X & the 13,000+ followers they have there without consulting #pwME
#pwME are dependent on social media & as the contact between #pwME & the APPG for #ME & the Parliamentary Champions for #ME this is counterproductive.
AfME should have a presence where #pwME are
