“The injustice of it, I couldn’t believe it.”
Former Team GB rower @oonaghcousins.bsky.social talking about the #MECFS “scandal” where patients were told they were deconditioned and needed Graded Exercise and CBT.
It is the “opposite of what they needed” and that legacy still runs “super deep”.

If you can, please help.
I need people to help the most, even just a retweet helps to keep me visible.
I need to escape ASAP.

Can people PLEASE repost or quote my pinned post? 🙏🤞🥺
I’m getting too sick to promote my crowdfund.
My bloods show my 6th Covid infection from March is still active! I now have Costochondritis & pericarditis.
My abuse is worsening. I’m unsafe here.
Please help.

Rejected for military service late in 1941, soon after his 19th birthday, John Craxton turned to the drawing and painting of poets and shepherds sheltering from a world of turmoil. 'Sheltering Shepherd,' would be repeated for Geoffrey Grigson's 'The Poet's Eye,' for 1944.
It’s really hard to keep interacting so I have an online presence & people don’t forget I’m still (sorta) alive.
Gotta crowdfund & I don’t have the energy on a team of 1.
Got a laundry list of #ChronicIllness diagnoses. #SevereME on its own is enough.
Yeah. I’m exhausted. I just want to escape. 🥺

🧵A Covid thread - but a good news one!
I’m barely writing about Covid anymore because there is barely any Covid to write about.
I thought it was worth celebrating this in this thread. 1/7
