Breite öffentliche Kritik an DGN-Statement zu ME/CFS
Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Neurologie (DGN) ignoriert den aktuellen Forschungsstand zu ME/CFS, kritisieren Patientenvertreter und Ärztinnen und Ärzte. Ihr Fokus auf die Psychosomatik sei falsch.

The whole day gave me @unitetofight.bsky.social vibes 🔥 Thank you @vmatthiesboon.bsky.social for making this happen!
Attended the Postviral Ethics Conference at Radboud: 30 in room, 75+ online, including bedbound patients who contributed. First time I’ve seen a speaker present from their bed. More events should follow this lead

Also memorable? A banquet over the border in Germany

If anyone ever tells you again, that #LongCovid is probably “just in your head”, send them this #UniteToFight2024 talk by @drdendunnen.bsky.social

Only 8 minutes long and really worth being aware of.

Summarized: Autoantibodies from Long Covid patients caused immediate Long Covid symptoms in mice.
#UniteToFight2024

The talk by Dr. Jeroen den Dunnen, immunologist and principal investigator at the Amsterdam University Medical Center, on mice immediately developing #LongCovid symptoms after receiving autoantibodies from Long Covid patients is now available with 🇬🇧 subtitles: youtu.be/iJTlJC70-CI

NYT columnist @zey.bsky.social has written about PLRC & how we've made some of the best #LongCovid research possible, despite being a small group of chronically ill people.

She's very kindly chosen us as this year's nonprofit to donate to, and we're deeply honored!

Interesting that @bmj.com corrected the REGAIN study to highlight that it only included Long Covid patients who had been hospitalized. I wrote to the editor to ask why an accompanying editorial that promoted the study findings has not also been corrected. virology.ws/2024/11/20/t...

Essential thread on PEM & POTS comorbidity: ‘Your patient is your biomarker.’ Listen, believe, partner, and follow the science. #PEM #POTS
Feels like a good time for a thread about all things exercise for people living with infection (and exposure)-associated complex chronic illnesses (IACCs) such as #MECFS, #LongCOVID and chronic #Lyme /tick- and vector-borne illness. Let’s start with a trip down memory lane.
