The patients, carers and scientists in the #MECFS community are some of the smartest, most empathetic people I've ever met.

If you're suffering #LongCovid or are #covid1in20 ,we are here for YOU.
Please be here for us.

We can work on this together. 1/6
We know of the uncertainty, not knowing, the contrasting information, lack of treatment. It's scary as hell. For #MECFS --which for a huge number is post-viral--it's been this way for DECADES. It cannot continue this way, and it cannot for #LongCovid 2/6

I'm not saying #MECFS is the same as #LongCovid .The research isn't here yet, but anecdotally, it looks VERY similar. There are co-morbidities for many w/covid, but there are in MECFS.

In this horrendous situation we can build relationships and solidarity. 3/6

If you support the study on #COVID19, please consider donating. #MECFS'ers know this already- the researchers working at the CRC's--Stanford, Harvard, Uppsala, Montreal--with OMF are world-class scientists. We are all so lucky to have them. #LongCovid

To finish up if you have #LongCovid , I'm so, so sorry you're suffering. But please know that there is a community out there and scientists that will be there for you-and as I have said-they are some of the smartest, kindest people I've ever met. #MECFS
