Now posting my third iteration of a collection of testimonies from patients with ME/CFS & Long COVID detailing how massively environments have affected them. How many more do I have to collect before researchers & advocacy groups take them seriously? Probably infinity? @OpenMedF

I want to thank every member of the community that has voiced their experiences to me the past couple of years so that I can share these stories with others. We've had countless people testify to how environmental factors have dramatically effected them, even as it doesn't seem

Uninstalling Twitter for a while. P.s. people that spend their time gossiping about others should get a life and mind their own business.

Life can be unimaginably difficult some days. Having a chronic illness makes it so much harder, but even without that, it can still be pretty shitty. All my life, I’ve put in 100% effort into everything I do. I put 100% into my career, I put 100% into the advocacy work I do, and

That sensation is so horrific. It’s indescribable. I don’t think doctors and researchers who don’t have LC have the slightest inkling how bad it actually feels.

Being a scientific researcher in 2025 is SOOOO different than it used to be. It’s no longer just spending your time locked in a room running little experiments. It’s almost like a political position. Your title carries POWER. When you speak, people LISTEN. Your work determines if

Can medicine please advance past pharmaceuticals already? Peptide therapies Exosome therapies Cell therapies Blood filtration Ultrasonic lymphatic clearance Literally anything but pharmaceuticals.

Scars from four months of poison ivy and mosquito bites, living outside 24/7 to avoid indoor air exposures. Feet full of blisters from walking 5 miles a day through crippling fatigue and muscle weakness to try to build stamina. No one can ever say I didn’t try to get better.

I don’t understand why it’s so hard for some people to apologize. I saw a neurologist a couple of times and I needed him to review some medical testing, to which he agreed to and we made a follow up appointment. Come time for the appointment, he had no idea what it was for, even

Day 94 of zero tolerance to indoor air quality. Arms so cold it feels like ice in my veins. Still no researchers will investigate the role of environmental factors in chronic illness. #mecfs #multiplechemicalsensitivity

I’m seeing way too much brainwashing from the pharmaceutical industry, causing people to think that pharmaceutical interventions are the only way to treat viral persistence. How about treating it by ending the ongoing attack on the immune system by eliminating chronic exposure

Environmental factors can drive the symptoms of chronic illness, even if you’ve had a viral initiating event, as in the case of Long Covid.

@cstroeckw Persistent infections are important but so is environmental toxicity, and the latter has been pretty substantially neglected

1/ New study tested blood from ME/CFS patients for 185 human viruses. Result: healthy controls had more viral DNA than patients (Unexpected). Only Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) appeared more often in ME/CFS, hinting at possible reactivation in a subgroup. Let’s break it

By now everyone is aware that disruptions with the gut micro biome is significantly correlated with chronic disease states. Well, what about the environment’s microbiome? There are countless types of microorganisms that normally populate our forests and air and soil. However,

37 Long Covid patients in a placebo controlled trial of nicotinamide riboside (2000 mg/day). It worked to increase the blood NAD+ levels 2.6-3.1x, but it had no impact on the primary symptoms. Doesn't work. https://t.co/mDOosP1xpZ

Isn’t it crazy that this isn’t even 1% of symptoms and yet no doctor can identify or test for this disease?
