With respect,I don’t think it shows “bravery” to ask these questions,I think it shows ignorance. Ignorance of the 4yrs of research & tens of thousands of research papers showing the pathophysiology: innate immune abnormalities, complement activation, endothelitis & endothelial 1/

Absolutely, @PutrinoLab. CBT and GET for post-viral diseases like LongCOVID and ME/CFS should be seen as malpractice. In time, the psychosocial label and those driving that agenda will also be proven wrong.
Tell me again how CBT and GET are actionable treatments for #LongCOVID, #MECFS and other disease states where PEM is a symptom? #MedTwitter: if you're still prescribing exercise for these conditions you're causing damage. This is malpractice.

Awareness campaigns are needed to properly educate doctors and the public about post viral infection syndromes like #MECFS and #LongCovid!
Why do patients have to organize and pay for this?

47 psychologists, academics & psychiatrists have signed an open response to @BPSOfficial re the DHSC Interim Delivery Plan for #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis, stating that #ME is a 'serious, chronic, systemic, potentially life-threatening biomedical disease’.

The US is starting to be on top of #LongCovid What's the NHS going to do? @NHSuk @SteveBarclay @NHSEngland @RishiSunak -- Millions suffering on your watch and no answers! #pwLC #pwMECFS #pwLongCovid
The Biden administration announced it is forming a new Office of Long COVID Research and Practice to study the condition and help those who have been diagnosed with it. trib.al/15RgvpJ

LongCovid at 1.3yrs: New Wheels!
Acceptance is key to living with #LongCovid, accepting that new you can’t do what old you could. Unable to walk any distance, today I accepted that it’s better to be out in a wheelchair than to not be outside at all. A very happy family outing!

What happens when you have a chronic illness that isn't being researched seriously?
Patient-led groups like @remissionbiome are designing their own research to address the needs of those with ME and long-COVID. See my latest in @ObserverUK @guardian

Birkbeck Management and UCU to issue a joint statement urging both sides to "reengage to resolve the dispute as quickly as possible". Birkbeck joins Cambs, Sussex, Exeter, York, Heriot-Watt and LSHTM lining up against UCEA hardliners. Branch pressure works.

“we at York jointly recognise that the current pay offer is not what staff deserve… we are clear that negotiations must restart to enable a different path to be found”
We have co-authored a statement with the @uniofyork Vice Chancellor, Professor Jeffery. wonkhe.com/blogs/a-shared-pe… We each want a return to negotiations and call on our @UCEA1 and @ucu to make this happen as soon as possible. #ucuRISING

The NHS must provide mandatory training on #MECFS: Most doctors receive no training on ME/CFS, either during their time at medical school or after, and as a result patients wait years for diagnosis and receive outdated, inappropriate and harmful treatments mecfs-med-ed.org/2023/05/03/…

I blame Wessely and co for the 100 years (3 of us combined) that our family have lost to ME - all that potential and opportunity gone because of the strength of his beliefs and his refusal to change his mind.
Andres Luque-Ayala retweeted
President of @rcpsych & @NHSuk board member, Wessely's lecture notes from May 1994 in which he says "I will argue that ME is simply a belief, the belief that one has an illness called ME"
The @rcpsych don't support the @NICEComms guidelines for #MEcfs
