📢New preprint alert! Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex disease that is affecting more people than we thought, yet it is significantly underrecognized and poorly studied. 1/n medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Highlights from Prof Chris Ponting’s presentation to the joint APPG on ME & Long Covid: He made clear that graded exercise is harmful, and warned that despite rising numbers, there’s still no research strategy, no effective treatments, and almost no funding. #MECFS #LongCovid

Maybe you could remind us all of your blundering role in the appalling detention of Nazanin Zachary-Radcliffe … ? I’m sure Twitter can remind you if you have forgotten.

If there is an LC biomarker that has ever gotten so close to the finish line as this one I am not aware of it

Innate inflammatory signature -> suggestive of Edwards hypothesis ('analogous to seronegative autoinflammatory conditions') Consistently enriched -> reproducible,, maybe regardless of timing, disease course etc In the Plasma -> easy to collect All clinical symptom groups ->

Implies this signature may be a core driver / consequence, and suggestive of the idea of a unifying mechanism beneath the heterogeneity Something that Douglas Fraser has also found - common pathways that underlie multiple symptom clusters and patient groups spanning continents

Dr Krista Clarke's phd thesis comes out of embargo tomorrow. This was a project funded by ME Research UK to further develop a nanoneedle-like test From the abstract, the test differentiated MECFS patients with 82% sensitivity and 86% specificity

Clip from BBC Health Check – Professor Monica Lakhanpaul explains UK Biobank research showing blood differences in people with #MECFS, including signs of chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and liver dysfunction. A step towards a possible diagnostic blood test.

It’s 30 June….the ME Delivery Plan is a no-show. It’s unacceptable. #pwME have been left in darkness for too long. I’m with Helen Morgan MP 🔶: ‘The government must think again, publish the plan without delay, and allocate it the resources it needs to make a real difference.’

Now that European summer is heating up, let me quickly remind you just how important street trees are!

Outside the Palestine Action appeal in London just now. The Brits have labelled those anti-war and anti-genocide as the terrorists.... Starmer is the same as Badenoch, fervent champions of crimes against humanity. "The revolution will be no re-run, brothers The revolution
