Fellow healthcare professionals, why is it so hard to apologize for having thought that LC or ME is an FND? We have to apologize and do the work to make right what we did wrong. Can't find my old thread about this, so here's a new one.

I would like to thank sarah and Dr Charles Shepherd for their very early appearance on Good Morning Britain! We need to get the message out there!

I am severely disabled with post covid ME. I was doing a well paid job that I loved. Now I am surviving on benefits. Taking them away and forcing me to work will not magically cure me. It will probably kill me. Department for Work and Pensions please don't take my allowances away?

Important observation, we see 3 subsets: 30% have elevated brain lactate (neuroinflammation?) 30% have systemic immune dysregulation 40% have oxygen availability issues (autonomic dysfunction, mitochondria, metabolic?) I'm probably in brain lactate group.

Long COVID/ME put me in a wheelchair. I was lucky to get a nearly perfect electric wheelchair from the NHS. A year after asking, my correct footrests turned up today. Now it is much better. It is a standard chair so why did it take so long? NHS England

I'm so sick of this *"#@: illness. It took away my job, my health and many other things. However, I could sing. Now it's taken that! I am so fed up with this illness.

I wish able bodied people understood that being forced to rest and lay around because of sickness isn't the same as them getting to rest. It's not enjoyable.

If this sea of union flags and Israeli flags carried by civilised, polite and peace-loving people doesn’t tell you which side is the right one, nothing will.

Severe and very severe ME/CFS patients are the sickest patients I’ve ever seen - even compared to septic transplant or end-stage cancer patients. The unrelenting suffering and lack of research or definitive treatments puts severe ME/CFS on another level. Nothing compares...

The Quiet Conquest From the inside, it looks innocent—just kids at summer camps, families at mosques, neighbors sharing meals. But growing up in the West Bank, I saw only what few did: my father, Sheikh Hassan Yousef, wasn’t just a community leader. He was one of the architects
