Weird. it worked before but got glitched up somehow. I've fixed the post, and it's also here: bmj.com/content/384/bm…

It's always worth it to pay attention to everything Valerie Eliot Smith writes--in this case about a horrible ongoing case.

People with mental health issues can generally benefit from a variety of interventions. But only rigorous deprogramming is likely to benefit zombie members of the MAGA-cult. Unfortunately, most are like Norman Bates at the end of Psycho--way too far gone to ever return.

Another horrendous case.

Is it me, or do the majority of these types of cases feature young women? Have there been any men detained? Obviously ME is more prevalent in women which will influence numbers, but just curious if this type of relentless medical ignorance has a theme?

I really admire how Jo Hunt (Jo Hunt (activism, also @JoElizaHunt for papers)) manages to produce a stream of interesting papers despite serious disability. This is her most recent.

Fascinating! Freya Jephcott does important epi work involving outbreak investigations when epidemics are unfolding.

You know that I’ll always go to the mat for people living with Long Covid, but that’s because I’ve always gone to the mat for people living with ME and other (commonly) infection-associated chronic conditions. My clinical practice, research, and advocacy doesn’t discriminate.

Recruitment website for the University of Exeter's 'brain training' study for cognitive issues related to Long Covid is short on information, with a missing FAQ page. Seems like they should finish the site before starting to recruit.

I love seeing Republican creeps (Kari Lake, that means you!!) scramble to explain how they now hate Arizona's complete abortion ban after pushing for it. They are shocked, shocked that a right-wing, Republican-appointed court could so such an awful thing!!! Heavens to Betsy!!!

Lots of things go well in healthcare but with ME things can often go awfully wrong as well. Even to the point of people dying. We now see the same happening with Millie. #DontLetMEDie

Ignorance, neglect and abuse shouldn't be part of Health Care.

These cases of young women with severe ME are pretty devastating. Here's a bit about Millie's situation.

Unrelated to the article, I am thoroughly disgusted that Harvard has renamed its graduate faculty of arts and sciences after Ken Griffin, a billionnaire Trump-supporting (at least in previous elections) donor. That faculty is the core the liberal arts school. It's repellent.

This is a big day for Millie & her family. In addition to the Twitterstorm at 11am, there will be a protest outside the RLI & her story will be covered by ITV Granada TV. Very grateful to Joshua Stokes. Big thanks also to NickyProctor Juan Corlett who made this happen.

Everyone needs to hear what my uncle did to Amanda.

That's weird. They're recruiting but the site has very little info on the study except that it involves brain games of some kind. The 'frequently asked questions' page is blank for now. How hard is it to write a decent FAQ so people know why the fuck they're being recruited?
