Penelope perfectly illustrates the differences in ME -PEM and the forms of PEM being referred to as occurring in other conditions. No other disease has a form of PEM that can worsen your whole condition, take away the ability to speak or chew, last months or longer etc.

"Here we present recent findings in ME/CFS research focussing on proposed disease pathologies shared with long COVID." #MECFS #LongCovid cell.com/trends/molecul…
Taking a break from here, but wanted to share this... Trained a technician for 8 months in microscopy to analyze some brain slides for me. Tech left the lab after their first box of #COVID brain slices and left me this card on my lab bench space. Now imagine the life of…
Managing a severe chronic illness: dozens of medications and supplements, doctor's appointments, researching treatments, managing side effects, paperwork, blood draws, etc.. sometimes feels like a job you don't like but can't quit. #longcovid #mecfs
I think my mother declining is triggering my parental loss wounds coz my brain keeps making me picture her loss Thanks crashy trauma brain
Out of interest, how often have you had covid? Please re-tweet for reach, and only vote if you live in Aotearoa. Thanks 😊
KP.2 is one of the most immune-evading variants to date
It’s begun: In UK filing, #AstraZeneca admits for first time its #COVID #vaccine can cause rare side effects. #Thrombocytopenia #VITT #TTS #TeamClots #Thrombosis theage.com.au/world/europe/a…
*spins headline slot machine* quiet quitting... caused vaccines... to go woke ??? look, just run it. and don't forget the 'experts say'
Crashing unsure if I went up ketotifen dose too quick or because I tried to help my back last night so I had pem in my arms But I’m fully non stop tachycardic now
Complex illness patients worldwide need WAY MORE SUPPORT. Our family caregivers - especially for those who are severe - are not okay. #Care4Complex (only just occurred to me to leave off the province/country so we can use this hashtag for a global movement!)

@doyouseem_e_now All ME has a poor prognosis, we all have a poor prognosis after we’ve been affected for more than 2 years. That’s just how it is. Things might happen to change that, yes, and there’s cause for hope for improvement, yes of course there is. But based on current options, it’s poor.

@Becs In Rarotonga there are no retirement villages. Multiple generations live together and when a family member dies they’re buried on the family property
@Becs Totally. Retirement Village you have a licence to occupy your own house/unit with bathroom, kitchen. Independent living. No need to socialise if you dont want to. Rest home has care staff and you have a bedroom and living areas are shared. In general.
Both of my parents (77 & 86) are so ewww about retirement villages. Can't say I blame them. I'm not convinced that siloing elderly people is good for our communities or them.

The International Consensus Criteria diagnose ME. Every pwME would profit from reading the IC Criteria & Primer to know about the illness they have. It would help them understand the terminology & to differenciate btw theirs and others diseases.
How long until pwME get it that what they have is PENE, not PEM? They. Are. Not. The. Same. PENE: Post Exertional Neuroimmune Exhaustion, specific for ME, objectively measurable pathology. PEM: Post Exertional Malaise, unspecific, subjective feeling. Read the ICC.
Seems like someone recently using PEM to describe their post cancer fatigue may have been justified in using the term but I still don’t think that it should be used for other diseases. The PEM we get in ME is a severe, disease altering state. It’s nothing like other diseases.
I ocasionally overhear someone's biology lectures, and I'm surprised how often phrases like "We don't yet know what this is/does" drop. Talking to medics, you'd get the impression human biology is a solved field, and extant nosological paradigms are as good as they can ever get.
I get it
Penelope perfectly illustrates the differences in ME -PEM and the forms of PEM being referred to as occurring in other conditions. No other disease has a form of PEM that can worsen your whole condition, take away the ability to speak or chew, last months or longer etc.
@lifeanalytics 1/3 To me, PEM is distinct. I have observed at close hand my mother's cancer-related fatigue and I had Lyme for 28 years before it was diagnosed and treated successfully. What is unique to PEM and thus to ME/CFS? Plenty. Delayed onset, prolonged recovery, all symptoms worsen, ...
