#MECFS has no treatment l, no cure. All previous 'treatments' hv been debunked. medical practitioners would talk up the 'impact' in their reports. ask the patients if what was stated is a true reflection of what has occurred. the narrative would significantly differ.

#MECFS challenges many old medical beliefs, yes, I said beliefs. There is a reluctance to deep dive into researching the condition with urgency and following up research leads that counter what we now know are harmful practices and inaccurate and limited beliefs.

Generally, people with #MECFS experience continuous medical gaslighting and lack of understanding.

#MECFS is the understated, underresearched, under-resourced, & under-diagnosed condition (the latter especially affects Black people). E.g. in the UK, look at diff. in u/standing what the symptoms are between the NHS, specialist orgs, Dr's, & patients' lived experiences.

@AddisonLeeUk @ComCabLondon @AddisonLeeUk the replacement vehicle showed up around 5pm. It was a TXE. I Wheeled up the ramp with assistance. The driver asked IF I wanted seatbelt on. I said yes. To paraphrase, he said is it compulsory? The chair is sturdy and will not move 8/many.
