Absolutely, @PutrinoLab. CBT and GET for post-viral diseases like LongCOVID and ME/CFS should be seen as malpractice. In time, the psychosocial label and those driving that agenda will also be proven wrong.
Tell me again how CBT and GET are actionable treatments for #LongCOVID, #MECFS and other disease states where PEM is a symptom? #MedTwitter: if you're still prescribing exercise for these conditions you're causing damage. This is malpractice. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

This New Year’s Day millions of humans are alone and very, very sick. The good news is they are practiced, as this is their experience every day for….. years. We DESPERATELY need help from government & medical authorities. #pwME #pwLC @NIH @WHO #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis

This. How can white people decide for & tell others what their experience of racism has or has not been? Denying & trivializing the experiences of minorities is more racism. Listen. When ur about to but in… don’t. Then listen some more. It takes humility so…
Replying to @KeneAkers
Yeah. Racists have nerve. Racists want to be able to tell you what is racist and what isn’t. While they do and say racist stuff.

I got my answer for how folks would try to justify forcing a pregnancy despite a fetus w/ a fatal condition…. I should have known OBs are all hysterical…. And wwwaaay wronger than this commenter, thinking with their medical degrees and all.

Did you know that #MECFS is more than just fatigue? For example, most patients have signs of immune dysfunction, such as flu-like symptoms, susceptibility to infections, food sensitivities, tender or swollen lymph nodes, recurrent sore throat, and malaise. #MEAwarenessHour

Where has the ME community gone? Without you all this place is horrific. #pwME

I will not stop saying this until Christian Nationalism is relegated to the fringes of American society and discourse: Christian Nationalism is the single greatest threat to the American Constitution and our government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Katie Cox can’t get abortion care. The exception rules don’t appear to be real.
Replying to @DoomScroling
Stepping away from how absolutely horrific her personal situation is... she gave our nation the crystal clear demonstration we needed to show that laws/bans with exceptions are lies. So long as women have to rely on the understanding of old ignorant men, the answer will be "no."

What are ALL the factors that go into these shootings? One side blames it on mental health and the other on 2A but I wonder if it’s more complex. If you had to name 3-4 factors that contribute to this insanity how would you respond?

Is this really all we have to offer ME patients?
My friend Lauren with severe ME has recently been given green light for euthanasia by her medical team. The process of applying isn't done yet, but this is a significant step. But it wasn't without challenges, unfortunately, involving the unjust psychologizing of her...

We need a biomarker & viable treatments. ME patients can have a bit of relief for unimaginable suffering. “Unimaginable suffering” is not an exaggeration, it’s a minimization. The psych people make it even worse. #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #pwME
#MECFS can be measured with 100% accuracy by Dr. Esfandyarpour's Nanoneedle (PNAS, 2019). It takes 200 measurements per second. It is a leap in scientific discovery and innovation. But NIH prejudiced grant reviewers won't fund a #MECFS diagnostic test. chng.it/5z5bVQkLyt

It’s disheartening to see that many ME/postviral disease sufferers are better equipped than their treating physicians. In my nearly 30-year medical career (med school included), I’ve never encountered such a situation.
