Was a book publisher in south of France. Had a wonderfull life until SEVERE MECFS. I want my life back (or at least 50 %) for my children and my wife. #mecfs

2025, what a nightmare... Bedridden since February, I discovered I had MECFS after three years of diagnostic uncertainty. My initial diagnosis was very mild, and I ended up somewhere between severe and very severe. This illness is torture. I've lost my job, my independence, my

Things that I think are happening in ME/CFS: 1) The mechanism of brain fog is exactly the same as the mechanism of PEM. 2) This disease state is essentially the opposite of cancer. Upon cellular damage, immune recognition/apoptosis/cell cycle inhibition is preferred over

Holidays are a strange time for chronically ill people - you’re expected to be cheerful and festive, but they are just another day of symptoms for us. If anything, they’re a reminder of the life you can’t enjoy.

Talking Again in 2025 I started eating again in 2024. After 11 years not eating a crumb of food or even drinking a drop of water. I got all fluids and nutrition from tubes inserted into my body. For 11 years. In 2025 I have another big improvement to announce. I have

1) This interesting short paper showed that the immune cells of Long Covid patients had a stronger response to viral mimics than controls. They produced more type I interferon.

Vanessa needs our support. #MECFS has ended many lives again in 2025, partly due to a lack of financial resources for expensive therapies. No one supports us; we must take action ourselves to prevent this. Please donate; her date is already in Jan 2026🕊 https://t.co/Y8FgKdqy2v
Teilen gerne erwünscht, ich erhoffe mir eine teure Therapie zu machen um mich aus der Bettlägerigkeit zu holen, damit ich wieder ein wenig Lebensqualität erfahren darf und von diesem elendem Leid herauszukommen. Danke euch🙏 https://t.co/pyjLJI1bG8

In our RNA sequencing data, with only the initial 20 people, we also found hints of altered HPA axis. Looking forward to the extended data with 100 patients and 60 control in 2026.

FOR ALL MILD AND MODERATE #MECFS PATIENTS you guys take up 75% of the patient population. When you talk about what me/cfs is like, for the love of god don’t describe it at your level. Cancer and other illnesses are defined by the WORST of it. It’s not defined by fast diagnosis,

Scientists found COVID-19 in the brain months after infection. A landmark NIH-led study examined autopsy tissues from 44 people who died of COVID-19 during the pandemic’s first year—all unvaccinated and with severe disease. The results were striking: SARS-CoV-2 was found

Anktiva is probably one of the most interesting drugs in trial for Long COVID. It works by raising key immune cells that seem low or poorly functioning in LC condition. This thread explains what the drug does and why researchers are testing it.

Nothing has ever made my ME/CFS permanently worse than the attempts to get better. That doesn’t mean the average patient shouldn’t try (primarily low-risk) interventions, but they should have an awareness instilled from the very beginning to approach treatments with care.
