Lesenswert! Die Autorin @privilegienschreck.bsky.social dazu:

Ich habe einen Text geschrieben. In linken Debatten werden psychische Erkrankungen zunehmend politisch verstanden, etwa als Ausdruck von Prekarität, Leistungsdruck und Vereinzelung. Doch was passiert, wenn diese Sichtweise die körperlichen Folgen der Pandemie verdrängt?

From Medscape:

"Where Is the Medical Home for Postinfectious Illness?"

medscape.com/viewarticle/where

"Many can trace these symptoms to a specific infection… [but] infectious trigger may not have been confirmed or recognized at the time. They were healthy and active, then they weren’t. Some are severely disabled and can’t work, go to school, or even do simple tasks without feeling depleted and even sicker afterward."

A fictionalisation of the struggles of a woman with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis (ME), and the obstacles she faces on a daily basis as a wheelchair-using mature student.

"Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and COVID"

COVID has sharply increased the number of ME/CFS cases in the USA but research still badly underfunded

"Assuming a 2% ME/CFS incidence rate, we predict roughly 4.38 million cases of post-COVID ME/CFS …"

Adding these COVID cases to current ME/CFS numbers = about 5.7 million cases of ME/CFS

Annual lost income = between $225 - $305 billion

Wir brauchen dringend dringend dringend eine Basisschulung für Krankenhauspersonal zum Thema #MECFS .
Für Betroffene kann normale (auch gut gemeinte) Krankenhausroutine zur absoluten Gefahr werden.

Aus Gründen.

Gifts for ME is a US charity launching in early 2026 to provide support items for people with #MECFS.

Their example items like shower chairs and heart rate monitors are integral, but I love the thoughtfulness of the Playdate no-backlight & low stimulus gaming handheld.

I'm learning to cope with my #fibro / #mecfs by adopting the phrase, "Do it tired, just don't overdo it." It seems to work for things I have to do that I'd rather not, like cleaning a mess in the home, and things I don't have to do but rather would, like practicing music.

I'm curious if other folks with #ChronicIllness or #disability can relate, and I'd love to hear what you would have to say on the subject, as I'm fairly new to it.

Just watched one of the most interesting and helpful scientific talks, hosted by Dysautonomia International on:

Neurological Mechanisms of Itch and the Connection to Dysautonomia - by Dr Brian Kim, Director of the Mark Lebwohl Center for Neuroinflammation and Sensation at Mount Sinai.

Everyone dismisses itching as if it’s trivial, but this lecture dives into the evolutionary origins (and why it has been well conserved all these years), connections with the immune system and even pain.

Ultimately, our illnesses are often forcefully placed in a single category when they actually connect many different biological systems. E.g. Itching, POTS, MCAS, post viral syndromes, heart arrhythmias… they could be seen as neurological, immunological and more. If you see a neurologist, they’ll say it’s neurological; if you see an immunologist and they’ll say it’s immunological. And they’re both right! But as patients, we understand this as conflicting messages, especially because it seemingly excludes other mechanisms or causes. Medical professionals from different fields need to talk MORE with one another! (I dream of the day when our medical systems are fully integrated and prioritise truly personalised medicine ❤️‍🩹)

What I appreciated most about Dr Kim’s talk was that he wasn’t bothered about classifying conditions; instead he advocates that scientists discover functional pathways for symptoms and connect them with drugs to accelerate the journey toward successful clinical trials without getting bogged down in definitions of conditions. I.e. prove a drug can make a tangible difference to patients and the illnesses will be validated and recognised in the process. I think most people with ME would especially appreciate this. We have already been waiting many years for not a lot of progress. DecodeME and the new PRIME network could really catalyse this!

The talk gets quite scientific so not sure how watchable it is for the average audience, but I think Dr Kim goes a good job of breaking concepts down to be more easily understood.
