Would like to see this conceptual shift more broadly - PEM is not a symptom, but a physiological state where a *lot* is going wrong; many symptoms can be part of that PEM state. #longcovid

Just a reminder, misanthropy isn't sexy. Before you say "humans are a scourge", remember that many Indigenous peoples have tended the Earth for millenia & continue to fight back. Denouncing humanity frames our current harmful systems as "human nature" but that's NOT TRUE.
Preventing infection is the best way to avoid diseases like #PAIS. A new study from our team @tianyangmao, Jooyoung Kim, @marioph13 et al shows that a generic antibiotic neomycin acts on the host immune system in the👃🏽to trigger antiviral resistance. (1/)🧵…
There are fungi at Chernobyl that EAT radiation and nuclear fallout – and that’s only the start of this wild story 🍄☢️ Buckle up for a wild thread about radioactive boars, fungal space suits, radiation-detecting fungi, black frogs and a good dose of hope! 🧵
❓📣Who are the academics and researchers living with energy limiting conditions working in social sciences, Disability Studies, medical humanities or related fields? I know there are many of you out there! Please reply if this is you And RT to get the word out 🙏
Could it be MCAS? Tissue growing where it shouldn’t? Hormones? Structural issues? Look deeper. We consistently leave people to suffer because of very outdated views on pain. I don’t care how much weak/subjective research comes out. We live with it. You’ve got it wrong. 2/
Pain is not a “functional” condition. It is not a “false signal” either. And IF my “fight or flight” is activated, maybe look to understand why, instead of baseless assumptions that it’s “stress”. Look deeper. 1/
Maybe it'd be less ridiculous if all these things were feasible, accessible, & actually brought significant benefits, but for many of us, none of those criteria are consistently met. All these things might result in being able to stand up a few mins longer. Hardly groundbreaking
Im not denying that these can help ofc...but between drinking & peeing, planning regular (salty) meals, wearing uncomfortable stockings, feeling guilty for lying down & feeling awful being upright, plus ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF POTS, what the hell else have we got time to do??
I dont think #POTS experts realise how all-consuming the first line treatments can be: 🚰Drink loads of water...that you can't retain because part of POTS is water-retaining endocrine dysfunction (and going to toilet every 30 minutes with orthostatic intolerance is a breeze 🙄)
All these debates about why students are absent. Just ASK them. My students have reported that theyre: frequently sick, unendingly burnt out, they worry their degree won't lead to a job they can even bear, and late-stage capitlism is destroying their hopes for eco stability 1/2
2/ The 2021 NICE guideline for this illness references the need for tube-feeding in cases such as Millie's. However, #ME, especially in its severe form & particularly in young women, is an illness which inhabits a world of widespread cultural and medical ignorance and prejudice.
#BringMillieHome 1/9 🧵 There has been much recent media coverage/discussion about the case of Millie McAinsh. Millie is a young woman who has been diagnosed with #SevereME. She was admitted to the Royal Lancaster Infirmary some time ago as she was unable to ingest/digest food.
"It's still not discussed enough how the majority of practicing physicians worldwide, particularly in sub-specialties frequently interacting with #MECFS patients, have a considerable conflict of interest, leading to an inherent bias against updating their knowledge base."
Anyone with ME needing an NG tube, so important to rule out MCAS, MALS, Nutcracker syndrome, CCI, and other conditions that can cause gastroparesis.
This is great. I also wonder if blood flow issues were a longer-standing, pre-virus part of my life.
This is great. I also wonder if blood flow issues were a longer-standing, pre-virus part of my life.
Wondering what you guys think the biggest issues are the ME community faces? My feed is filled with Long Covid. We love and support you guys as allies (and many of you, as fellow ME patients) but I'd love to hear where you think we are now re: treatment and care of ME.
My books are: A Girl Behind Dark Glasses A Girl in One Room A Girl Beyond Closed Doors These are my two YouTube videos: The World of One Room youtu.be/VH-puNCQxh4?si… Seven Years in the Making youtu.be/NL7YbpYVVz0?si…
So please support Myalgic Encephalomyelitis suffers. Let us tell our stories. Let there be change. Let the media speak to us. Because at least 12 years ago was the first time I personally asked on YouTube for the world to wake up to this disease. Why does no one listen? (7)

*Galician person sees this without reading the letters* "Ah just the 2 western provinces with their rías"
My one hood bit of news is, my social worker just contacted me to ask me to speak about M.E. with one of their groups, as my books had provided "invaluable information" as to how we need to understand this disease, particularly with the increase in post viral conditions.
Would like to see this conceptual shift more broadly - PEM is not a symptom, but a physiological state where a *lot* is going wrong; many symptoms can be part of that PEM state. #longcovid
@eskabadu Not only do we see differences in metabolism and work rate between CPETs, but people with ME/CFS also have signs and symptoms of PEM, so we know those two things are going together. As you point out, PEM itself is *not a symptom.* A common mistake clinicians and researchers make.
Fatalism is lazy. It accepts the status quo & absolves everyone (including the guilty) of responsibility. Fighting back is hard. Do it anyway. Happy #EarthDay2024 Please keep caring.
You don't hate humans: you hate the rich. 100 companies are responsible for 71% of green house gas emissions. As individuals, the richest 1% are responsible for 16% of global consumption emissions -- and the ties between those individuals and those companies are STRONG.
Just a reminder, misanthropy isn't sexy. Before you say "humans are a scourge", remember that many Indigenous peoples have tended the Earth for millenia & continue to fight back. Denouncing humanity frames our current harmful systems as "human nature" but that's NOT TRUE.
Preventing infection is the best way to avoid diseases like #PAIS. A new study from our team @tianyangmao, Jooyoung Kim, @marioph13 et al shows that a generic antibiotic neomycin acts on the host immune system in the👃🏽to trigger antiviral resistance. (1/)🧵…
Galicians aptly answering with a question in their national anthem 😇
Even stranger: they realised this black fungi wasn’t just growing *despite* the radiation, but seemed to be growing *towards* it. When they were able to get close enough, they found mould and yeast GROWING on the walls INSIDE the reactor.
Imagine how SURREAL it must have been for the researchers when they got access in the 90s, approached this desolate wasteland at this tragic site, and saw that the surrounding soil had turned BLACK from fungal growth!
People started dying of acute radiation syndrome (ARS) (and the WHO predicts that 9000+ people will die of cancer triggered by this event). They created the Exclusion Zone – a restricted area of 2,600 km2 (1,000 sq mi) around the site where radioactive contamination is highest.
On 26 April 1986, a reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded. It destroyed the containment building and caused a reactor core fire that lasted 8 days, spraying airborne radioactive contaminants throughout the USSR and Europe 😨
There are fungi at Chernobyl that EAT radiation and nuclear fallout – and that’s only the start of this wild story 🍄☢️ Buckle up for a wild thread about radioactive boars, fungal space suits, radiation-detecting fungi, black frogs and a good dose of hope! 🧵

As for nuclear fallout? Some fungi can grow despite radiation. Some fungi can absorb, eat and shield us from radiation. And some fungi can pull the radioactive particles out of the soil. 😍😍😍 A lot of this research is relatively new: who knows what we'll find next!
There are fungi that eat microplastics! There are fungi that clean oil spills! There are fungi that break down mining waste! There are fungi that remove heavy metals & e. coli from water! FUNGI CAN DO ANYTHING 😍🍄🧡
