@VanessaPirotta I agree - we should chat

Excellent news! Now let's make sure these funds reach #MECFS research. This disease has one of the lowest quality-of-life scores of any illness. It's been starved of funding for decades.

Let's stop the suffering.

@bhanlon15 Please sign petition in article. The Australian welfare system ties disability support to a partner’s income, leaving many trapped in abusive relationships or struggling to survive. People with disabilities deserve dignity, safety, and independence. https://t.co/WECVXyPxT2

This is so important to point out! #mecfs is one of the worst and most debilitating diseases you can get - more common than anybody thinks - yet no funding for research and thus no cure.

As usual, @julierehmeyer manages to capture things so beautifully here as she reflects on the loss of her dear friend with #MECFS. The feelings and thoughts so perfectly expressed in this piece by Julie are familiar to so many in the community: so many

New Cell paper from the team that discovered glymphatic clearance (how your brain removes waste during sleep).

Sleep hours DIDN'T predict brain cleaning. Neither did REM or deep sleep.

They found what actually matters - and why some sleeping pills might undermine it 🧵

@tinakatsaros @DanMissailidis @commitAUS If it doesn’t hit the spot - I can always run a session if you’ve got a group who want something for HDRs or EMCRs. 🙂

@DanMissailidis Here’s hoping it turns up soon. Unfortunately I’m not a philanthropist (yet).
