This is a hard one for me to answer, as whenever I tell a funny story from childhood people look at me with shock and horror. They will often then say, "I'm sorry that happened to you." Like falling out of a moving vehicle on the highway when I was 5, CO poisoning when I was 10, etc.

#capillariscopy from @renegaderesearch.bsky.social #InnovationInn nail capillariscope from my PEM day (Sat). Less perfused then before day was my impression. Similar odd shapes. Weird horizontal vessels. @immunofever.bsky.social Good thing had 2 vein repair procedures or could have been worse.

Here are my RightEye test Pursuits before exertion score of 81, next day in hyper-time post-exertion before PEM score of 73 (PESE), in PEM score is 28! Left eye sliding down, less circular, less consistent, more wiggly with each time around the circle. #InnovationInn @renegaderesearch.bsky.social

me: hey do you have this movie I want to watch? Disney: no Netflix: not anymore Apple: ew no CBC Gem: yes and it’s free Prime: maybe I do, maybe I don’t. Maybe it costs $5 for no reason, even though you already pay for this. Maybe you should fuck off into the sun.

Got to spin fire for the first time in a long time - definitely a little rusty but it felt great to burn ❤️‍🔥

Quick pose bcI don’t want to stand still when don’t have to! #OrthostaticIntolerance Superman stance 4 @renegaderesearch.bsky.social #InnovationInn with muscle @MoxyMonitor. Hoping 4 good PEM data SOS bc #millionsmissing need more help, mild- #severeME @meactnet.bsky.social #severeMEday #MECFS

We are being cautious with foods that are known sensitivities at @renegaderesearch.bsky.social #InnovationInn as best we can. Gluten free for all. Dairy free for some. High salt, potassium as needed. Organic when available. Garden stuff, too. Also ordering clean prepared meals to save energy/time.

Stuck on tarmac heading to #InnovationInn. Pilot has air conditioning on + my seat fan is on. Brrr. Just the way I need it to lessen OI symptoms. Feet are propped up and using my @renegaderesearch.bsky.social hoodie for lumbar support so I can slouch. Pre loaded Na, K. Did I pack everything🤔? No😢

3 days until our patient-researchers gathers at #InnovationInn to measure before, during & after PEM as much as we can! 🧪 We're reaching limits to add new test kits or devices in time, so this is likely close to our final list Tell us about other online or app tests we can check out! 🧵 1/3

We have exciting news! Two members of @immunofever.bsky.social's research group will join us at Innovation Inn next week to demo testing they use in their MAESTRO project: RightEye eye tracking, WAVi EEG, Nailfold capillaroscopy, @wearlumia.bsky.social blood flow to the brain Thanks to Mikki 🙏

This is Today in about 20 minutes! Several added panelists include neurologists and POTS docs and infection disease specialists. Join us

Please join us on Friday, July 31, 2026 at 12 pm ET US for a Clinician’s Roundtable webinar: “Part 2: Sleep Disorders and Breathing Mechanics” with Avram Gold, MD and Joe Borelli, MD on sleep and breathing issues in #MCFS and #LongCovid patients Register: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi... 🧵 1/7

Fantastic new platform to help ME/CFS & Long COVID pts try t herapeuticdevices, return the devices so others may use them, and then share their data and stories about what they liked and didn't like. Try before you buy is awesome and not usually available. May this new platform grow.

1/ 🚨 Big news: @solveme.bsky.social has awarded @renegaderesearch.bsky.social a Catalyst Award to launch SIGNAL - a decentralized platform to test promising therapeutic devices for ME/CFS and Long COVID. Here's what it means for patients 🧵

Please join us Sat. July 25 at 12 pm ET US for a Community Meeting: "Clinicians with Patients: Clinical Management Focus on Crashes and PEM, PESE & PENE" with Drs @doc4care.bsky.social & Brayden Yellman discussing care issues for #MECFS & #LongCovid Register: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

8/ Hear more about the current observational Truvaga project and plans for SIGNAL during the @renegaderesearch.bsky.social Research Roundtable on August 21st. Register here: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

3/ How it works: 1️⃣ Patients diagnosed with ME/CFS or Long COVID borrow devices, shipped free, for 3 months. 2️⃣ While borrowing, they contribute data through the Brain Inflammation Collaborative / @solveme.bsky.social unhide® Solve Together platform. Every loan = a real-world research opportunity.

2/ SIGNAL tackles 3 things our community needs: 1️⃣ Real-world evidence - determine which devices actually help 2️⃣ Access - "try before you buy" 3️⃣ Speed - findings shared with patients fast, not buried in papers years later

We have a long list of #MECFS #pwME #LongCovid projects we would like to tackle! Please donate to our Innovation Inn project, where 5 patient-researchers from RR will gather to induce post-exertional malaise (PEM) and measure results before, during and after PEM: www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati... 3/3

We received another $10K from a private donor for our Innovation Inn! Due to popular request, we will use these funds with @amaticahealth.bsky.social! 🎉 They're giving us a deal on testing and will also biobank for us, and Amatica will also biobank 20 additional samples for later proteomics 1/3
