Imagine watching everything you care about in a house that starts to catch fire. And there’s a firehose one meter from you, but you're tied to a chair and can’t move. So you have to sit there and watch it all burn. That is everyday, over and over again, living with #MECFS 💙
Looking fine ≠ feeling fine
For many people with ME/CFS and Long COVID, exertion can trigger Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM), a delayed, biological crash after even small activities.
When effort makes you worse, “pushing through” isn’t motivation. It’s misinformation.

Merry Christmas everyone! 💙💚
Yes I sleep with my chocolate 😍
Well, in this case it’s a Lindt advent calendar my friend gave me and it’s been so much fun opening a new delicous chocolate every day this month and thinking of her! It’s honestly a little too sharp to cuddle with but I’m not above sleeping with my chocolate! 😤🤩
🚨 This post may be a very helpful reminder to make a plan for the holidays so you don’t overdo it or at least don’t crash too hard:

I’m Dr Ahmed, a Muslim consultant psychiatrist. For more than 10 years, I’ve worked over Xmas so colleagues who celebrate can be with their loved ones. I’m on call again this year in emergency psychiatry. Thanks to all frontline staff working over the festive period. Merry Xmas.
Good to see that our results are replicated in different cohorts using different methods. Scientific research is brutal where popularism is favored over out of the box ideas. But it is also exciting to see that we are much closer to understanding this disease than before.
