I am humbled to announce that thanks to a generous grant from @cohengive our #LongCOVID center (opening early 2024) will work to understand the differences and similarities between LC and #Lyme, #MECFS and other infection-associated chronic illnesses. 1/

The @Independent A woman who survived breast cancer twice may have inadvertently furthered long Covid #research

"A breast cancer survivor may have inadvertently furthered #LongCovid research after reaching out to a leading scientist to discuss her fatigue symptoms.

After extensive study, they noticed that Twinam’s body seemed to be producing more than the normal amount of a protein called WASF3. This protein, they discovered, was plugging up the process by which her body was trying to produce energy."

If German kids are strong enough to learn about the Holocaust, then children in the U.S. and Canada should be strong enough to learn about abusive Indian residential schools. Agree? #TeachTrueHistory

This image of Siamak Namazi, Morad Tahbaz and Emad Shargi’s first moments of freedom makes me incredibly happy. But it’s also a reminder that these men and their families have had years of their lives stolen from them. I am so relieved they will finally be reunited.

Hope is what I breathe.
Hope is what I consume.
Hope is what I cling to.
Hope is what keeps me alive.

@McMisoprostol I think folks donate to pl*nned p*renthood because that is the agency they know. What are some others ??

The sobering truth is that we are perilously close to permanently losing many of the elemental liberties we assumed could never be taken away.

The good news is that we are not quite yet there.

We can still decide how this story turns out.

For more on "Idiopathic CD4 Lymphocytopenia" history and it's potential connections to ME see Neenyah Ostrom's substack column today on the subject, https://t.co/Fxk4sfRc8z
Thirty years of infuriating carelessness by CDC/NIH. Researchers: search PubMed for "cfs" 🤢and CD4s

What did they know and when did they know it? Critical questions in ME medicine. Neenyah Ostrom’s reporting from the 1980s revealed the sophisticated inquiries of the era https://t.co/CUYD64tiDJ

[Brennan @StuffedShells]

@neenyahostrom I was unaware or forgot about the 1989 article. My daughter was finally diagnosed 2 years later and is still homebound. Your work has been invaluable to this mom. Many thanks.

Last year, @POTUS said the U.S. government knew “with certainty” that freelance journalist Austin Tice “has been held” by the Syrian government.

Syria’s Foreign Ministry denied it was holding Tice.

It's been eleven years. #BringAustinHome.

#ME, #ME/CFS question: does anyone else have a symptom hit, have medication to take for it, and because of cognitive problems, not realize it?

[Brennan @StuffedShells]

@RorPreston One thing that is rarely mentioned is low blood volume It is important for medication dosage among others.

When the 11-week-old son of one of the mothers died, the other's 16-day-old son got his heart; the two moms -- who met years later -- both sang the same song from Wicked to their boys (via @toofab) https://t.co/dHqToHHLi8
