Really excited to share my discussion on Post-Exertional Mayonnaise with artist Christina Baltais who uses art to share her experiences of #MECFS

Christina Baltais 💙🩵 shares about her desire to make art that is relatable for people with #MECFS from our recent episode.

For most people, getting Covid was a disruption that passed. But for the millions who developed #LongCovid, that disruption has been persistent – for years. After 32 months of living with this complex chronic illness, here are some reflections...🧵

It's time that everyone stopped gaslighting ME and Long Covid patients. These are real and devastating conditions, however politically convenient it might be to deny them (and to deny benefit payments to the patients!). Those who attack and mock pile suffering upon suffering.

#GoBlueForMECFS is an awareness campaign to wear blue on May 12th #internationalmecfsawarenessday! Our toolkit (on IG & FB) has a text blurb, signs, infographics & more to help create an informative post & tell the world why you're going blue. Will you GO BLUE with us? #mecfs 🩵

Please share the article & sign the petition for Millie who has very severe ME and is worsening in hospital in the UK. Article by Ellie Fry: mirror.co.uk/news/health/se… Petition: change.org/p/save-millie-… #BringMillieHome #DontLetMEdie #SevereME #pwME

My simple message is the world needs to wake up to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. I was hospitalised in 2006 it was horrendous. Lot of the treatment questionable. I live with the trauma now. How is the treatment still like this 18yrs later? #BringMillieHome #DontLetMEDie GMC

Toronto Folks! The CN Tower will be lighting up blue for #InternationalMEAwarenessDay this May 12th in honour of all the Canadians living with ME (approximately 600,000 pre-pandemic, but currently estimated to be between 2-3 million Canadians). #GoBlueForMECFS #MEAwarenessDay2024

Today's the kind of day where I just point to this perfect sign by Christina Baltais 💙🩵 for #GoBlueForMECFS and cry for a few hours. Have you seen all the powerful infographics they've created for this year's campaign? Gotta find something blue to wear on May 12 💙. linktr.ee/goblueformecfs…
