As described in Science for ME weekly update:

A clear article written for non scientists that explains what the research did and what it found. "each genetic signal is like an ‘X’ on a treasure map indicating roughly where the researchers should dig for treasure. The next step is to find that treasure – the specific genes that are causing ME/CFS."

A blog post on the science behind DecodeME

"Scientists, people with ME/CFS, and their charities came together to create DecodeME, the world's biggest ME/CFS study – and its results are striking.

18,000 people with ME/CFS gave their DNA, enabling DecodeME to reveal eight genetic signals [which] indicate that immune and neurological processes play a significant role in ME/CFS."

Leider gibt es aktuell wieder einen schweren #mecfs Fall, bei dem das öffentliche Pflegesystem versagt. Olivera ist für die nächsten zwei Wochen unversorgt, was in ihrem Zustand lebensgefährdend ist. Bitte unterstützt, bspw indem der Fall öffentlich gemacht wird. Falls ihr in der Region Augsburg/München wohnt: Versorgung mit frisch gekochtem Essen gegen Bezahlung, am besten regelmäßig, aber erstmal akut. Die Agentur Haushaltshilfe ist auch bereits involviert und unterstützt.

Gestern ein Gespräch geführt bzgl der Relevanz, die die #MEcfs #LongCovid Gemeinschaft hat, wenn es um journalistische Texte zu den Themen geht. Ausgangspunkt war der wichtige Artikel "Wir müssen Sie zusammenbrechen sehen" von Marlene Kalt. Ein Thread.🧵 ⬇️

Solche Artikel sind bedeutsam für die Betroffenen, weil sie schonungslos über die Grausamkeiten der Institutionen im Umgang mit den Erkrankten berichten.

www.woz.ch · Long Covid: «Wir müssen Sie zusammen­brechen sehen»Menschen, die wegen einer Covid-Infektion oder anderer Ursachen an ME/CFS leiden, müssen schier unüberwindbare Hürden meistern, um überhaupt eine IV-Rente beantragen zu können. Das ist die Geschichte von Svenja Brucker*.
