Recognising #PEM early in your patients is critical for safe and #MECFS informed care. PEM can be hidden - patients may appear well during appointments but experience significant deterioration afterwards. You can learn more about PEM and #pacing - zurl.co/nnY1W

People who tested positive for #COVID have a higher risk of being diagnosed with other infections in the following months. This has been shown for years and hundreds of publications in the topic. Covid has an impact on the immune system we still don't fully understand.
Why Covid could be to blame for the rise in deadly meningitis, according to scientists - and the early symptoms of the disease that patients must act on trib.al/XW4xOX8

Excessive cutting back of nature strips’ tree canopy contributes to urban heat islands, damages trees, goes against expert advice, and costs ratepayers millions of dollars. The Allan state govt needs to drop its evidence-free red tape and wind back regulations on suburban tree pruning. theage.com.au/national/victo…
