My diagram with all the things I did in case it helps anyone else . I did self inject b12 and B1 every other day, but I’m not promoting this as self injecting carries risk . I also won’t be able to answer any questions about doing this as it’s not under nice guidelines 1/

Fascists thinking they can enter Brighton 🤣 Get in the bin.

No! In Brighton... on the left side, we have the people of Brighton & Hove ~ on the right side, we have the Nazis/Anti immigration people The ratio is about 4000 to 300 Brighton is a very open-minded city. People are not judged by their skin colour, occupation, or religion

This 19-year-old shared her story of going blind after showering with contact lenses in the Dominican Republic. Contaminated tap water containing parasites infected her contact lenses and cornea, causing severe keratitis. She was initially misdiagnosed and given steroid drops that worsened the infection, leading to complete blindness in both eyes within a week. Further testing led to a diagnosis of Acanthamoeba infection, a form of amoeba. After intensive anti-parasitic eye drops every 30-60 minutes for 6-12 months, vision has been partially restored in her left eye only. Acanthamoeba is common in tap water, showers, pools, and lakes worldwide. Avoid washing or exposing contact lenses to tap water as this can potentially lead to blindness.

WARUM interessieren sich die Immunologen so gut wie nicht? Ich habe hier mehrere Unikliniken um mich herum: null Interesse. Das werde ich nie verstehen.

Constant awakenings, vivid dreams, and almost no deep sleep every single night. Has anyone experienced this and found anything that actually helped? #MECFS #LongCovid

This is why the work @DoctorsDistress do is so important. I survived my attempt but most of me died. Rebuilding my life with the help from people in the organisation I gave so much is tough.

This really worries me A month ago in Wales I suffered a ruptured aneurysm in my abdomen. I lost over 2 units of blood But the Welsh ambulance service refused to send an ambulance. I was still breathing so apparently didn't need one I spent 7 hours lying on the ground in a car park. Every time I moved I threw up from the pain. The owners of the car park called 999 6x One of the people there was a fireman. He couldn't believe that 999 treated each call as a separate incident and couldn't see the details or link to previous calls. He was frustrated because they could see I was seriously ill but you can't see internal bleeding and so there was no way to persuade 999 that it actually was an emergency Eventually my husband arrived by taxi, journey of more than 3 hours from our home He gave me my pain meds (the car park people were worried about liability and I was too ill to get them myself). This meant I was able to crawl into the car and he drove me to A&E He got me into a wheelchair. We waited 75 minutes to see a doctor. I was shivering, heaped with blankets and threw up all over the floor As soon as a doctor looked at me I was taken straight to resus. The next day I was transfered by blue light ambulance to another hospital, had a blood transfusion and spent 5 days on the high dependency unit If my husband hadn't been able to come and look after me I have no idea how I would have survived. As it was I nearly didn't I would not have been able to get myself to hospital nor would I have been able to log into some digital triage system This scheme seems to assume if you're seriously ill you'll arrive by ambulance and if not you're well enough to navigate a digital portal My experience suggests that's a dangerous assumption A week later, back home in England I had another ruptured aneurysm. This time an ambulance came in 2 hours and again I was taken straight to resus It wasn't the same because I had a recent diagnosis of a ruptured aneurysm so we could tell 999 I was almost certainly bleeding internally. But I was too ill to get myself down the stairs and out to the car. We still needed that ambulance and I still wouldn't have been able to fiddle around with an ipad Proper triage REQUIRES an actual doctor to look at the patient. It takes a matter of minutes to differentiate between a life threatening emergency and not a life threatening emergency. That's not minutes to get a diagnosis but to know that the person is stable or not stable and if not that needs immediate attention Seriously ill people can't do it themselves. It doesn't matter how smart or articulate they are normally. Or how tough. Expecting people to manage their own emergency care isn't what a modern health service should do telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06…

I think this is the worst part of the disease, being invisible not only to doctors but to those that were close people before illness. we are so far to reach the minimal care needed for ppl w #longcovid or #mecfs

T cell exhaustion is not the primary lesion in Long Covid and ME but it’s a lot closer than nervous system dysregulation. healthrising.org/blog/2026/0…

Thank goodness for @Molbaas . Without him I’d feel rather alone in my specialty . What’s the difference ? We have both seen this from the other side.

Dear Awais, it really is not. Positive countertransference is never an argument for symptom reductionism, stigma conflation, biomed amateurism, accountability avoidance, the inflation of self-importance or the instrumentalization of patient suffering.

A patient with severe pancreatitis suddenly developed bruising here What deadly sign is this called?

Gutted to see what’s happening in Belfast. My friends’ kids have been sent home early to make sure they get home safely. People don’t realise the extent of the trauma and inherited trauma that exists in Northern Ireland. Things really kick off.

Excellent and biologically rich review. It brings together neuroinflammation, glia, BBB, vascular dysfunction, mast cells, the vagus nerve, and viral persistence - and adds an original hypothesis of local sleep - a state in which small groups of neurons shift into a sleep-like/silent mode even while a person is awake - which could help explain both brain fog and flares.
