UK really getting going now wit (mostly) XFG* wave
Neutralizing antibodies & even T-cells have waned: now about 2 years since big KP.2/3/XEC wave of 2024 (& longer since JN.1)
LP.8.1 ramp-up & Autumn XFG wave of 2025 only infected ~30% (?) of population, so lots susceptible now

Does anyone know of a UK headache or pain neurologist / consultant who is open to prescribe off-label medication and prescribing beyond the usual NHS pathway?
It would need to be a telephone consult with my mam as I’m too poorly to manage it myself. Asking for a 🦄- I know👇
„Es gibt hier eine lange, dunkle Geschichte, die in Jahrhunderten der Abweisung von vorwiegend weiblichen Krankheiten als ‚hysterisch‘ verwurzelt ist und in den letzten Jahrzehnten durch staatliche Bemühungen, die Sozialleistungen zu kürzen, sowie durch die Versuche der Versicherer, Auszahlungen zu reduzieren, verstärkt wurde“

In 'Afscheid' drukt Judith De Waele in enkele zinnen veel uit wat je kwijtraakt als ME je wegdrijft uit het leven:
'Mijn zus die zegt “ik mis je” terwijl ze naast me in de auto zit.'

I had never given the word "hysterectomy" a 2nd thought up until now. At least in English we don't have 'shame lips' or 'shame' anything on the female body's anatomy.

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed

Liebe Me/CFS Community,
Eine 16 jährige braucht unsere Hilfe:
In einer „empfohlenen" Klinik für PAIS Kinder liegt sie auf Station & soll in die Psychiatrie verlegt werden.
Da gehört sie nicht hin!
Verdachts Diagnosen, der Klinik (z. B. SFN, EDS), wurden nicht abgeklärt.
"A shocking social crisis playing out behind closed doors"
Ebenso schockierend wie realistisch - leider auch in 🇩🇪 und 🇦🇹.

This is how donations to Charlotte's BAG have been spent.
It's incredibly rewarding to see the difference the money raised has made and to know that we have played a small part in such an enormous research project.
Our hard work is paying off.
Knowing that what Miles and I do is helping fund research that could benefit so many people affected by brain tumours makes every hour, every fundraiser and every challenge worthwhile.
£410,755.58 has been raised by Charlotte's BAG, directly funding research at Charlotte's Lab, King's College Hospital, London.
We are now just £89,244.42 away from reaching £500,000.
The big difference with Charlotte's BAG is simple:
We self-fund everything.
No salaries.
No overheads.
No advertising.
No merchandise.
Every penny donated goes towards the research.
If you're thinking about donating to a brain tumour charity, please consider putting a pound into Charlotte's BAG.
Small donations really do add up and together, they can make a very big difference.
Thank you for helping Charlotte's legacy continue to fund research.
