In honour of Celine Corsius, her family and friends. On 18 September 2023, Celine, a Dutch citizen, elected assisted suicide over life with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME). The international ME community mourns the loss of yet another of its members. mecentraal.wordpress.com/2023/09/18/emp…
The BC and Canadian governments have failed disabled people. I AM MADELINE is skipping healthcare that helps alleviate her condition, due to not having enough money. It could kill her. Help: gofundme.com/f/MadelinesMir… canadaland.com/madeline-medic… (Oct. 2021) #bcpoli #cdnpoli #yvr
Anthony Albanese We should be doing this. We should also be committing significant funding to research for ME/CFS. 250k in this country living with this disabling illness, 25% bed/housebound & $0 allocated for research or patient care. #pwME have lost livelihoods & many are living in poverty.
Anthony Albanese *250k pre-pandemic. A large cohort of people with Long Covid are developing ME/CFS. This illness has the lowest QOL measures & there is no specialist medical support, no targeted treatments & GPs have limited knowledge (& are mostly misinformed). This is an escalating crisis.
Governor Wes Moore You need to DO something about the increasing problem of #LongCovid, affecting more & more people each year covid runs rampant. There are NO treatments, we are often bedbound & excluded from society, stigmatized & unable to access help. So many have become suicidal as a result.
