In response to the Australian #LongCovid inquiry recommending "funding be made available for #MECFS research and patient support", Emerge Aus held a meeting in Parliament House Canberra to highlight the urgent needs of those with ME/CFS.

Thrilled to see the implementation of longitudinal family practice models, which fairly compensate for direct and indirect care. The emphasis on patient interactions and the number and complexity of patients is a good example for all provinces and territories to follow to support family physicians across Canada.

Coat hanger pain is one of the many "invisible" symptoms that is common in individuals living with #POTS and other forms of #dysautonomia. It's believed to be caused by poor blood flow in the large muscles of the upper back and neck. Learn more at https://t.co/sPvAnCv5n9.

Today is #LongCOVIDAwarenessDay. 23 million Americans and millions more around the world are living with Long COVID, and 70-80% of these individuals are developing #POTS and other forms of #dysautonomia. Read more in comments below.

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

The word "cure" hasn't been associated with treating autoimmune diseases. Until now, from advances in understanding the immune system and building tolerance to specific antigens, it's in the realm of the possible

Researchers reported improvement in diverse #LongCOVID symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue & exercise intolerance after treatment with IVIG. This article is a case series on 6 patients. 1/🧵

[Ed Yong is not here @edyong209]

🛑I wrote about what “fatigue” really means for people with long COVID and ME/CFS, and why this profoundly debilitating symptom is so often misunderstood and trivialized.

Sometimes exertion is misunderstood as exercise. Exertion is defined here as anything that stresses or strains the system. No trigger can be controlled all of the time. The goal of pacing is to MINIMIZE post-exertional malaise rather than eliminate it.

Canada: A survey to help develop "guidelines on post-COVID-19 condition (also known as #LongCovid)" for those in Canada who are 16 years old or older. The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

May 12th is #InternationalMEAwarenessDay. A day of grief for so many. It is time for “a paradigm shift in how these illnesses, that are very complex and chronic, are understood in the broader community and medical community.” ― @Sabrina_Poirier

268 unfilled residency positions in family medicine in the CaRMS match yesterday. Highest number ever.

We have a serious problem to manage together. Why are med students not choosing a career as a family doc (best specialty ever😀)?

Many reasons - some of it is on us...🧵
