ME is ME. Some Long Covid is ME. Not all, but based on some studies, ME may be common in people with Long Covid. It doesn’t diminish Long Covid to say ME is common. It acknowledges important intersections within the community, and it will improve the quality of research.

E. Coli is endemic, i.e. never going way. Given this, under what conditions will you advocate ever stopping washing your hands after using the restroom or coming into contact with contaminated material?

I know people who are forced to do this because of their illness, and that $100k would be life changing support.

Dear @bmj_latest, Your latest Long Covid study suggesting signs and symptoms resolve in a year will be included in the syllabus of my research methods course as an example of how survivorship bias creates flawed conclusions and serves bad policy. You're BMJ. You can do better.

Hmmm. I do not remember “many will fall by the wayside” in my infectious disease epidemiology and response classes, nor from my public health ethics class. It’s almost like that statement doesn't have anything to do with the essential functions of public health at all. 🤷🏻‍♂️

For a person living with an invisible disability, trying to prove they have an invisible disability often makes the invisible disability worse for the person who’s living with it.

If exercise worked, post-viral syndromes would be cured by now.

What a failure of our medical “system” that people go years with PEM/PESE and no one puts the pieces together for them. I can’t even conceive of the othering my patients have to live with daily but I’m reminded every time a patient cries when we simply discuss the science of PEM.

Apropos of absolutely nothing on this app, here’s your semi-regular reminder that if some exercise after a little rest *really* worked for (commonly) post infectious syndromes, everyone would be better by now. It’s the first thing everyone tries. (Signed, a physical therapist)

So saddened to read about another person who tried to live with ME and chose euthanasia over the inertia and indifference of a medical system that provides neither treatment nor care. People are literally dying while society dismisses the problem as a little “chronic fatigue.”

The study ignores the fact people living with Long Covid eventually just give up on the medical system, so their long term outcomes won't feasibly be tracked with medical records. It's clear the authors, reviewers, and editors haven't talked to people living with the disease.

Research in CBT is wild. I mean, if you spend 17 weeks telling someone how they’re feeling better and coaching them how to tell you how they’re feeling better, then when you ask them again whether they’re feeling better, you shouldn’t be surprised when they say yes. 🤷🏻‍♂️
