“It is hard to express the frightening sense of vulnerability engendered by being severely ill, and yet having genuine reason to fear the very system that is supposedly there to help.” My reflections on #MaeveInquest (1/4) alifehidden.com/2024/08/06/m…

It’s not tea but I have a prettier cup than last year. This one goes in particular to very severe #MECFS patients who are being mistreated and/or are malnourished. (Hope it brings me a little luck for my surgery for gastroparesis on Tuesday?) #BlueSunday2024 #TeaPartyforME2024

OK so we have a critical update on #SaveCarlasLife #ExposeMENow. We are watching the NHS kill a very severe ME patient in real time and we have literally been trying every possible route out of this 👇

Dr @SabineHermisson speaks about the experience of severe ME patients. HIDDEN - MISSING - FORGOTTEN Living in isolation, not able to go to hospital, experiencing severe pain, too weak to eat and drink, gastroparesis that cause malnutrition and dehydration. #UniteToFight2024

If only there were no more #MEAwarenessDay. Thanks to all of the advocates for #MECFS, especially #pwME, who are trying to get us out of yet another Groundhog Year of very ill patients being left to rot, mistreated when reaching out for vital needs and dying because of it.

I luckily shared the last couple of weeks of #BethMazur's life with her. I want you to know: She felt loved when she died. She died because her ME was unbearable. There's nothing more any of us could have done. Effective treatment is the only thing that could have saved her.

Rest in peace #BethMazur. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all you did. I can’t keep up with how many lives #MECFS has claimed this year. It goes beyond sorrow — at this point, it’s anger that we’re left to die. Like @jspotila says: enough. We need a cure. Now.
Replying to @MEActNet
It is with deep sadness that we share with you that we lost one of our heroes and champions of ME yesterday. Beth Mazur passed away after battling ME for 15 years. She was a selfless beacon of hope & light in our community. She demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the cause.

Also, I can’t help but ask myself — who will be the next #pwME to die? Some have already applied for assisted suicide, some have life-threatening #MECFS (e.g. malnutrition), others are in dire financial and/or social situations and can’t get any help… Plenty to “pick from”.

I am livid that this keeps going on and on.

The only words I have tonight are that I want this disease to stop killing any of us. occupyme.net/2023/12/22/enou…
