Obviously I shouldnโt even have to say that I am ecstatic for anyone who beat this awful disease however, we really, really ought to move away from this narrative that you are somehow
Two years ago today I made the biggest mistake of my life, I had the covid vaccine. I have not improved at all.
@MattHancock
wants to criminalise people like me talking about it so we quietly die off.
They wonโt research/treat these adverse reactions. Cheaper if we die.
superior to biology if you have beaten a disease. So what is that supposed to say about those who died from cancer? They didnโt fight enough? They were too weak for cancer?
Whether you beat cancer or not or any other disease, it has no bearing on your will to survive, fighting
18 mths ago today I made the biggest mistake of my life. I had the cโฆ.d dart. Thousands of pounds +many treatments (conventional+alternative) later, I can barely speak to improvement. Made my existing condition drastically worse, damaged my legs +put me (mostly) in a wheelchair
spirit, determination and willpower. It is pure luck. Youโre lucky that whatever treatment you had access to worked on your specific pathology. Not your mindset. Not your willpower. Nothing. Every person suffering horrible diseases regardless of whether they are getting better or
This dart was supposed to protect people like me. Instead itโs made my condition DRASTICALLY worse & damaged my legs. My life is a new level of hell. No one knows what is wrong with my legs. 13 months, countless treatments, ZERO improvement

not, shouldnโt be seen in terms of winning or losing. This isnโt a battle because your actions have no influence on the outcome. No one wants to be sick. No one wants to die. Everyone wants to get better and live to the fullest. Everyone wants to live.

This was me when I was struck down with a chronic illness. How about stop blaming patients for their condition?Chronic illness isnโt always a punishment for bad lifestyle choices.Chronic conditions can happen no matter how healthy you are. You shouldnโt be a dr if you refuse care
Donโt know if I should be grateful that the vaccine didnโt kill me & Iโm only so severely affected that I canโt function at all bar getting up to eat. Death right now seems preferable. Maybe I should take the 2nd shot, that would finish me off hopefully

is that it strikes people in the prime of their lives. People who one moment were full of health, life, joy, potential, often exceptional level of fitness. People who had everything to live for, so much more to experience. Abruptly ended
It is extremely important for society to recognise that
#MECFS
does not cause โtirednessโ. It is an EXTREMELY disabling, systemic disease that is literally incompatible with living. At the worst levels, patients are entombed in their bodies unable to lift their heads, speak etc.

#MECFS
is UNEQUIVOCALLY the ONLY disease on earth where EVERYTHING that makes other people better, including people with other diseases: exercise, being outside, walking, sunshine, music, laughter, human contact, makes you worse. Sometimes permanently. How is this not world news?
Sometimes for a change of scenery, I lay on the floor.
Iโve done everything in my power to get better. Failed. I spend 95% of my life laying down. Donโt know how much more I can take. I will never get better without a medical breakthrough. NIH HELP US!

Welcome back Steve! Wish I had discovered you before I had my vaccine. You would have saved me ๐ข 19 months, zero improvement, all treatments failed. For some of us, there is no way back from this jab. At least until we have proper research. For that we need acknowledgement first
I have just learnt that a long covid group in the UK including drs have said publicly that this is not โjustโ post viral MECFS. There is a real pathology to be explored. How fucking dare they! I am furious! Who are they and has anyone challenged them? I am beyond insulted!!!
This was my attitude at the start of
#MECFS
. Had I spontaneously got better, I would have taken the credit and stayed in that arrogant belief. No excuse for anyone to believe this now as our voices are loud +visible: determination means nothing against this disease. Be humble.
It endlessly blows my mind that a disease has existed for so many decades that takes out so many young, healthy, super fit, hard working people and turns them into total cripples & almost NOBODY cares or tries to find treatments. Itโs like Iโm in a twilight zone
#MECFS

It is absolutely astounding that a disease can torture you so extremely yet not kill you. In virtually every other disease on earth, at this level of disability you would be dead.

My spirit is dead. My happiness and passions are dead. My plans, hopes and dreams are dead. My potential, career and independence are dead. My present and future are dead. My ability to function in society and at home is dead.
#MECFS
hasnโt killed me but I am as good as dead.

Iโve never felt so validated in MSM. I cried.

2. There has been virtually no biomedical research funding in all this time as we were told itโs in our heads and sent to do CBT to cure our โfalse illness beliefsโ and Graded Exercise Therapy to cure our fear of exercise (erm..yep... except many of us were athletes before M.E.)
Seriously, whatโs in the pipeline for neuro inflammation??? And Iโm not talking curcumin, bacopa, LDN and other nonsense. Been there, done it, doesnโt touch the sides. I need a real intervention (and not psych drugs either!). So what is it going to be? My brain is damaged.
A word of warningโฆ I started getting sick in 2015. I did not meet diagnostic criteria (PEM) for ME/CFS until mid 2017 and in certain aspects possibly even early 2019. Whatever triggers ME/CFS can be set in motion long ahead of being obvious. Untreated abnormalities accumulate
I am an anti vaxxer & donโt give a fuck what anyone thinks. Iโve had every vax my whole life. I believed in the covid vax. I had one shot that decimated my existing condition & gave me new damage, my injury branded misinformation & my eyes were opened. I will never believe again.
