The main question is why we don't see immune activation in ME/CFS. It's triggered by an infection and has many similarities to symptoms seen in autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases.

But there is little indication of (even low-grade) inflammation.

We have all watched in horror as Israel crosses red line after red line in Gaza. If you agree please share this post on, help us send this message across social media, then contribute a picture to our powerful visual at bit.ly/3HW2ePI
Let’s speak out, in our masses, right now. #RedLineForGaza #Gaza
Black background with red lines. White text reads; "Targeting children, killing civilians, starving people, killing the hungry, targeting medics, killing aid workers. Too many red lines continue to be crossed. #RedLineForGaza".

“Cure ME/CFS” banner at a German football league match.

I love this kind of activism—it builds public awareness and sympathy in ways otherwise impossible.

Guerrilla actions are so hard for pwME, who often don’t have the energy. But thankfully, some still manage to make it happen.

In der Südkurve gab es heute Support für Empty Stands. 🫶

Auf zwei Tapeten in einer vollen Stehplatzkurve beim FC St. Pauli steht „Support „Empty Stands““ „Cure ME/CFS“. Das Wort „Support“ ist auf dem Bild von einer Fahne verdeckt.

Cover of The Lancet: "Health institutions may be hesitant to criticise the new administration publicly, but this timidity is a mistake. Trump's actions must be called out for the damage they are doing."

I'm just dipping my toe in here. I'm terrible with technology, so every new thing is a challenge. For my first post, I figured I'd offer a link to Berkeley's current crowdfunding campaign for Trial By Error, which focused on ME/CFS, long Covid, etc:
