“I went down to 36 kg because I stopped being able to tolerate a whole range of foods.”
Wendy Matthews has lived with #MECFS for 28 years and has been bedbound for the last 7. She talks about her symptoms, how the illness has impacted her, and how #MECFS is not rare.
@BBCSport There is no debate, not been a debate for years. Messi could’ve retired at 30 and been the best of all time, the debate is ignited every time for something to speak about in the media.
TW assisted suicide / #MEcfs
Text from the Instagram Post:
hannahst_98: Heute, am 11. Juli 2026 ist Luigi De Re von uns gegangen.
Er bat mich folgende Nachricht zu übermitteln:
„ME/CFS kills, so it did with me.
I opted for this solution cause symptoms were unbearable and treatments did not work. My quality of life was far away from my normal. It deteriorated in a way I could not stand it anymore. My life was not like it used to be anymore. The message has to spread and more awareness and research has to be done to stop this disease from taking more lives or making them unbearable.
Let’s spread the word and let people know why I made this choice. Remind people that ME/CFS kills! May there be a cure for this disorder in the future. May people with this condition heal in the near future. May those who had to die because of ME/CFS rest in peace. May my death be a voice for the unheard.
Luigi, 24 years old“
Sein Tod soll nicht umsonst gewesen sein!
Unsere Krankheit braucht mehr Forschung, Hilfe und Anerkennung, so war auch Luigis Wunsch!
Ruhe in Frieden lieber Luigi

He turns 16 today. We're lucky to have family to come visit but he should be getting a driver's license and at a sports camp this summer. Instead, he's lying down with the dog #longcovid#mecfs
I’m a huge football fan. During the last World Cup in Qatar, severe ME/CFS meant I could only watch short clips of Germany’s games on my phone.
This World Cup, I’m hosting watch parties with my friends.
Endlessly grateful that this is possible again. ⚽️

Very brief mention of the ear seeds controversy during a discussion about Stephen Bartlett on The Rest Is Entertainment.
This relates to Stephen Bartlett’s investment in an ear seeds business whose founder claimed they aided her recovery from ME/CFS.
@biss1018@shanekels@pgal10 You’ve not actually listened… ‘There’s nothing we’ve seen from this guy from Bournemouth that doesn’t lend me to believe he can translate’…. So he’s saying there’s no reason to believe he can’t translate his performance at Bournemouth to his tenure with Liverpool.
@PaulGadsden82 So weird, I have the exact same thing and have never found someone else who does! Massive boats with massive hulls scare the shit out of me.
“Waking up, it’s like you’ve been hit by a truck. Everything’s shaking, vibrating internally. My brain feels inflamed, it’s like you’ve got a concussion.”
@rhirhiarhii has had #MEcfs for over 20 years
i was on 45k per year when i got sick stopped working many years ago, and though i came back part time for a few years i have missed out on approx 16 years salary. Thats 720k without calculating inflation possible promotions etc. people say we all choose not to work is madness.
