I did an interview last week about living with ME. This article is the result.
Pleased with it overall, no glaring errors, and most of my key messages are in the article even if she didn't put some of the more 'difficult' points in there verbatim.

Ein Schlag ins Gesicht aller Erkrankten, darunter übrigens auch Mitglieder der DGN!

Hier versagt offenbar die gegenseitige fachliche Kontrolle. Über die Motive kann nur spekuliert werden.

Ein durch und durch fehlerhafter, unwürdiger und schädlicher Beitrag.

Wir sind fassungslos angesichts des Umstandes, dass die heute veröffentlichte Stellungnahme der @DGN-ev.bsky.social zu #MECFS den aktuellen Forschungsstand weitgehend ignoriert oder irreführend darstellt.

Wir appellieren an unsere Kolleg:innen, sich an wissenschaftliche Standards zu halten

Warum denken Sie, dass es akzeptabel ist um eine Stellungnahme zu veröffentlichen, über die aktuelle Stand der Forschung und so weiter, die die aktuelle Stand der Forschung ignoriert?

The BMJ has published our response to the opinion piece by Miller et al..

“The solution that Miller et al. propose—the interpretation of ME/CFS as "biopsychosocial"—is in fact itself a major burden for ME/CFS sufferers.“

Biopsychosocial approaches to ME/CFS provide neither a cure nor hope.

I'm Tom.

I used to be a writer and a musician.

Now I am 95% bedbound and struggle to compose a few paragraphs or strum a simple chord progression.

I used to have mild #ME/CFS, but my functioning became much worse after being told to exercise and keep pushing myself to do more by clinicians.

Next month will be the 8 year anniversary of mine and my partners ME/CFS onset. We were both dismissed and gaslit by doctors every step of the way.

Unfortunately the gaslighting worked in the end, and we started exercise, which caused us both to deteriorate, me severely.

1) OMG we did it‼️‼️

In this film for #MEawarenessmonth, five medical doctors open up about living with #PAIS/#IACC conditions like ME, #longCOVID, and chronic #Lyme. It’s a format that I believe has never been shown before.

They speak candidly about their experiences

This documentary, created by patients and informal caregivers, was deeply moving and profoundly impactful.

I sincerely recommend watching and sharing it—it truly deserves to be seen.

Ein weiteres Paper, das deutlich aufzeigt, was für ein riesiger Wissenschaftsskandal hinter der PACE-Studie und dem damit verbundenen Paradigma der Psychosomatisierung von ME/CFS steht, das bewusst zu schädigenden Verhaltens- und Aktivierungstherapien führt.
