ME/CFS is not rare. It’s ignored.
Every May, we raise our voices for the millions who can’t.
From 2020 to 2025, nothing has changed fast enough.
We’re still here. Still missing. Still fighting.

Repost it for awareness !!
reassessment UNLESS assessors learn about specific illnesses, such as M.E, and change how they assess the disabled person in front of them.
Who on earth told you no one will lose PIP?!
There is zero PIP fraud.
Let's talk @RhonddaBryant#pwME#MEcfs
Watching @bbcquestiontime on iPlayer.
@RhonddaBryant - I'm sorry but you are wrong.
100s of 1000s if not millions of people currently on PIP do not get 4pts in any daily living category but meet the overall total (12 I think 🤔).
They WILL lose PIP at their next

In February I shared this story about how I'm adapting to a smaller life with #LongCovid.
I lost my job, resigned as a councillor and am stuck at home, unable to go out with my kids, family or friends.
On #LongCovidAwarenessDay please share to show the impact of this disease 🙏
People with ME are calling on the government to invest in their future and reverse generations of neglect. As Physios for ME, we are standing with them, to say- “please, fund the plan.”
The government is due to publish a new delivery plan for ME, and we’ve been involved with the process. But now we’ve heard that no additional funding has been allocated to the plan. Just £20 million a year behind the plan would make an enormous difference
ME desperately needs more research, better education for health professionals and services that provide evidence based care. But this can’t happen without funding, and historically this condition has been significantly underfunded
We consistently hear about negative experiences of physiotherapy that result in some people with ME actually getting worse. This is because of a lack of understanding of the condition and poor training of how to work safely with people with ME.
@drclairetaylor Would definitely recommend the through floor lift, can put them in to REPLACE stairs if no other option exists, then everyone uses the lift.
Congratulations to our very own @ruskin147 for his official OBE appointment.
And thank you for his continued work to raise awareness for the Parkinson’s community.
We recommend reading this brilliant article featured in the @Independent on Rory’s recent achievements.
