People with ME/CFS were labeled as just lazy or malingering. Medicine never asked if it was the problem instead. When they couldn't find something wrong, they blamed the patient. But in val/val rs5522 gene carriers blood tests won't capture the "cortisol steal" driven by MR overactivity. #rs5522

🚨 @niigaanwewidam.bsky.social and I - along with a dream team of incredible collaborators - are excited to announce a new book challenging residential school denialism! Truth Before Reconciliation will be released in September with the University of Manitoba Press: uofmpress.ca/books/truth-...

5000 CO2!!!!!!???? Worse than VIA Rail. Wow. But yeah you can't open the windows on those buses. At least local surface transit mostly has windows you can open. I've been in Ubers where they had recirc on and it was >3000 CO2 until I checked my Aranet4 & told them to turn it off. #COVIDisAirborne

Avoid travelling in touring coaches to avoid airborne disease #COVIDisNotOver #COVIDisAirborne

This small study deeply concerns me. It may cause #PwLC or #MECFS to stop or never try using a smartwatch to help them with their PEM. Sounds like the parameters for how participants were able to use their device were extremely limited. My devices and tracking help me tremendously. I have severe LC.

A person in a black beanie and a brown puffer coat holds up their wrist to show a neon yellow activity tracker. The text reads, “The Sick Times. Long COVID research updates. A new review states that Long COVID, ME, and POTS should be classified as neuroimmune disorders. A new study concludes wearable activity tracker notifications may not be a reliable way to mitigate or reduce PEM. A small, phase one study is recruiting in Sacramento and San Francisco.”
