#pwME @franhaddock_ is making really outstanding, powerful, important Instagram videos from her bed,

Absolutely seconding that @ZackPolanski should have someone on @_BoldPolitics to talk about Long Covid and ME/CFS
19 Dec 2025
The profile of this issue needs to be raised considerably.
The economic and human impacts are devastating and should be informing policy.
Be bold! Invite someone on to @_BoldPolitics to discuss #LongCovid

The Government should be investing properly in treatments for Long COVID.
Far too many people left in this situation: read Darren's story. 👇🏼

This time last year I lost my job due to #LongCovid.
Unsurprisingly it was an extremely difficult time.
I'd worked for the NHS as a Learning Disability Nurse for 20yrs.
Long Covid ended my career.
It also drastically altered my life.
Some reflections 👇

Would appreciate shares and support for my friend Mari who is enduring severe ME alongside DV and continues to deteriorate. We’ve launched a GFM so she can safely escape but we need help sharing it 💜

Severe #MECFS means you often need carers just to survive. But if your caregiver is your abuser, you’re trapped. Over exertion and stress can trigger a deterioration in your health lasting weeks or even months. I can’t imagine much worse. I’ve just donated to help Mari escape.

Would appreciate support and shares for Mari!
Mari is someone I’ve known for >2 years who has severe ME. She is trapped within caregiver abuse. She has inadequate care which harms her, she is struggling to access food, & she desperately needs to escape.

I'm sorry that disabled people make you uncomfortable, Autumn. But “your psyche will do insane things to try to sustain the illness” is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Believing I wasn't sick in 2021 is what helped me become mostly bedridden. Take your ableism elsewhere.

#IsItOk that #TheLastLeg haven’t mentioned @ZackPolanski or @TheGreenParty surge in the new season yet despite being a political events show? Get Zack on! @adamhillscomedy

Funds will go towards Mari escaping DV and having her survival needs met before and after she escapes. Mari is someone I can completely vouch for but she has to stay anonymous for her own safety. Let’s show her our support as a community!

Thank you @natalieben from @TheGreenParty for signing the Global Pledge for #HealthyIndoorAir at airclub.org đź’š
A new paradigm of #CleanAir as a human right is emerging!

A plea to the #CovidConscious & #LongCovid communities: Don’t use ableist language, imply people with mental illness can’t make valid choices about Covid mitigations, or misappropriate psychological terms. Not saying I’m perfect - reminding myself too. #VioletAffleck #CleanAir

We have formally written to @loosewomen clarifying the:
đź’™ importance of clean air
đź’™ devastation of #LongCovid
Illnesses like LC & ME predominantly affect women & are often minimised.
đź’™We believe women should support each other to stay safe & be heard.

A short🧵about what faithful friends the @loosewomen are to @andrea_mclean 🤯and how they were complicit today in gaslighting all the chn with @LongCovidKids
The ladies had an opportunity to discuss #LongCovid and #CleanAir, but instead did a hatchet job on Violet Affleck:

Felt sad, hurt, solidarity & anger at #BellaHadid & #YolandaHadid 's posts? You’re not alone.
đź’™ Same Conditions, Different Realities đź’™
We share the same illnesses — Lyme, POTS, PMDD, MCAS — but not the same access.
💔 Illness doesn’t discriminate.
đź’¸ Access to care does.
