I think a lot of you assume that many disabled people are covid cautious because we like it or are “crazy” or something, when in actuality, it’s literally because we can’t afford to become more disabled and don’t want to die. Not enough of you truly understand self-preservation.

After 4 nights of little sleep, I experienced swallow problems for the 1st time in 13 years of ME.
My swallow reflex was just gone & it was terrifying.
This disease is dangerous & is killing ppl & needs funding!
A Huge thanks to George Monbiot for a great article
#pwME #LongCovid
As many of you already know, George Monbiot has published another hard-hitting article on ME in the Guardian today.
Great to see such coverage, especially as the Guardian published some rubbish by others before

“A freedom of information request to NHS England found that, of the tens of thousands of practitioners who would benefit from it, after a year, only 74 had completed the new learning module on ME/CFS guidance”
This is the bit that got me. Shameful. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

There’s a fairly large group of masked “Patriot” Platform idiots outside Basingstoke police station now.
If Danny Tommo didn’t want the time, he shouldn’t have done the crime. Go home and shut up.

Vine yet again punching down and every time @SylviaTidyHarri goes into her local shop "everybody is always buying booze, they are all unemployed I just know"
Maybe the DWP should employ Silvia, would save a fortune on assessors if she knows about everybody just by looking
"They're unemployed long-term, and they are buying booze all the time."
@SylviaTidyHarri backs a Tory plan to preclude benefit claimants from buying fags and booze, because she says she sees it happening frequently in her local shop.

A powerful piece by George Monbiot on neglect & dismissal experienced by people with ME/CFS — one that explicitly recognises the connection with Long Covid.
The same failures of recognition, appropriate care & clinical understanding.
We must do better.

Beyond time for a UK national inquiry into the unbelievable levels of harm and neglect this patient population has had inflicted on them by *ALL* our systems.
Not just health.
Thank you George.

Many thanks George Monbiot @guardian for such a bold & clear article & for being on the right side of history again. I hope your call for a public inquiry gains traction. As a carer for my 19yo who has very severe ME, I hope this happens in my lifetime.

I have already lost a decade of my life to ME.
Why are we treated so badly by society?
Thanks George for reminding the world we exist.
