Le RN ils ont trois mairies ils essaient déjà d'empêcher les femmes d'avorter.
⚡️🇫🇷FLASH -La municipalité #RN de #Carpentras coupe les vivres au Planning familial, qui défend le droit à la contraception, à l’avortement et à l’éducation à la sexualité. Fervent catholique, le maire Hervé de Lépineau a comparé l’avortement aux « crimes de Daesh » en 2020. (LP)

Being a carer for a disabled person is incredibly hard, but there is a world of a difference between carers who think it’s hard because the disabled person is a burden and those who think it’s hard because the state has abandoned disabled people

Pdt le confinement, les malades d'EM alité·e en permanence dans la pénombre n'ont senti aucune différence. Et guess what ? Cette maladie chronique très invalidante est majoritairement déclenchée par UN VIRUS. Ça, c'est de la "cassure du lien social", et c'est à vie, pas 40 jours.
je me demande pourquoi autant de militant•es antivalidisme n’intègrent pas du tout la question de la cassure du lien social qu’implique un confinement

Wrote that few days before my crash. Noticed that it's today. Will probably be my last post in a while as this crash is the worst I've ever had. Thanks everyone for the kind messages under my last few posts. Take care 🫶 : One year ago I took my last shower. I don't even care anymore, but it's a reminder of all the things I stopped thinking it would come back later after intense pacing. Things like going outside, playing video games, watching video content, showering, sitting up, eating more than 10 foods etc. All those things I once stopped thinking "I'll do it again in a few weeks when PEM is gone". But PEM never went away. And abilities never came back. Now I'm lying there, dirty, weak, unable to do anything, thinking of what I might have been able to do to prevent it. Such an awful illness #MECFS

Un variant délétère du gène de la butyrophiline BTN2A1, impliquée ds la reconnaissance de certains antigènes par les lymphocytes T γδ, a été retrouvé chez un (petit) nb de patients EM/CFS. Des variants de ce gène sont déjà associés à un groupe de maladies auto-immunes (lupus).
1) An analysis of rare DNA variants by AstraZeneca using the UK Biobank showed that people who self-reported having ME/CFS, had more rare DNA variants that disrupted the gene BTN2A1. This gene also came up in the common DNA variants analysed by DecodeME.

😵‍💫 Connaissez-vous l'encéphalomyélite myalgique ? Cette maladie généralement post-infectieuse, parfois résumée en "fatigue chronique", a explosé depuis le Covid. "Je n’avais plus aucun espoir, mais je tiens pour mon fils." Un fil ⤵️ @le_Parisien 1/10 leparisien.fr/societe/sante/…

Yes. I’ve had ME, often severe, for 41 years. It has stolen my whole adult life. In the last 4 years I’ve had cancer x2. The care, support, sympathy I’ve had for the latter is astounding compared to the former despite the ME being much more debilitating.

ME lobby be like:
New graph (paper in following tweet) shows that ME receives about 1% of the amount proportionate to disease burden, LC 14% and hepatitis C 51000%. General trend: common diseases (dark green) that affect women more (red) tend to be underfunded

Do you have ME/CFS and/or HSD & gastroparesis, and how do they relate to each other in your case? Please feel free to share more details in the replies (timing, onset order, triggers, etc.). The poll format limits me to 4 options and 25 characters, so I’m keeping it simple here
60% MECFS 1, gastroparesis 2
20% Gastroparesis 1,MECFS 2
20% EDS/HSD 1,gastroparesis 2
0% Gastroparesis 1,EDS/HSD 2

🚨🚨🚨 The chronic illness space on this platform is deteriorating rapidly. A fringe group of so-called physicians and academics are espousing psychosomatic narratives around ME/CFS, Long COVID, and MCAS…processes rooted in biology that are ravaging millions.

I have very severe #MECFS #LongCOVID. My dad is my full-time caretaker and turning 75, and I don’t have other family support. I’m worried about emergencies, especially since I can’t tolerate a hospital or nursing home. I need to figure out how to survive long term. Any ideas?
