(1/2) Key genetic differences found in people with ME/CFS > Swipe to find out more.

These findings reflect the lived experience of thousands of #pwME.

Thanks to all our participants & supporters who made this possible!

Read a summary of our results: shorturl.at/pgsjk
Graphic 1 of 4. DecodeME: The Results graphic. At the top in bold lettering, it says ‘Main Findings’. Beneath this it says ‘Your genes contribute to your chances of developing ME/CFS. Other key findings are on the following slides. Graphic 2 of 4. DecodeME: The Results graphic. The slide says ‘People with an ME/CFS diagnosis have significant genetic differences in their DNA compared to the general population’. Beneath this is an image of a DNA helix and a magnifying glass. Graphic 3 of 4. DecodeME: The Results graphic. The slide says ‘These lie in many places across the genome, and do not impact just one gene’. Beneath this is an image of a DNA helix and graphs. Graphic 4 of 4. DecodeME: The Results graphic. The slide says ‘Eight genetic signals have been identified. As DNA doesn’t change with ME/CFS onset, these findings reflect causes rather than effects of ME/CFS’. Beneath this is a blue magnifying glass with a DNA helix.

🚨UK Lawyers for Israel Ltd has tried to silence various voices supporting Palestine. Their charitable wing has made public statements rejecting international law.

Activist Em Hilton is on the Charity Commission offices to ask for an investigation.

Extract from wild psychological speculation in the Irish Independent

"Dr Suzanne O’Sullivan examines the rise in recorded cases of autism, ADHD and long Covid, and how labels can bring new problems"

Paywall:
www.independent.ie/entertainmen...

#LongCovid #PASC
It’s all part of the quest to find a “biological cause of human distress”, O’Sullivan says, acknowledging that the pathologising of mental health problems and behavioural disorders is a trend right now, both within medicine and society. “Diagnosis is subjective, a true art,” she writes, “and that makes it susceptible to mistakes, exploitation and social pressure.” A glaring example is that of long Covid, a diagnosis that has been driven by the patient community. Efforts to explain long Covid as a consequence of viral pathology have all fallen short and the non-specific nature of its long list of associated symptoms clouds the picture even further. It is clear O’Sullivan thinks the condition is “problematic”, pointing out that one support group included “loneliness”, “feeling scared” and “skin ageing” on its symptoms list. Dr Suzanne O’Sullivan: ‘We need to be more thoughtful before accepting labels that could lower our expectations for ourselves’ The evidence that a significant proportion of long Covid is psychosomatic in cause has built slowly, writes the expert in psychosomatic disorders. Here, she is saying the quiet part out loud, and one gets the sense she would be far more forthright with a more select audience.
