I go inside to seek refuge from the noises. But the internal vibration never ceases. It is as if I have a pair of buzzing bees inhabiting my ears. Tinnitus is merely one of the inescapable symptoms of my ME/CFS and Long COVID.

Two other big findings: those with early onset were much more likely to be severe or very severe (odds ratio 2.4) and those with close relatives with ME/CFS we're more likely to have early onset.

We hope these graphic novels will help reduce stigma, provide education and self advocacy tools to support children, especially those without supportive networks. These novels also have the power to educate professionals hon how CYP with LC feel, taken the burden away from young shoulders.

Also, that there is cross party finding of obstructing Government by senior civil servants.
I witnessed such an attempt in my meeting with the Minister after #MaeveInquest.
Politicians are elected and serve as long as we/their party lets them. Civil servants are on a gravy train controlling info.

It's been three and a half decades since I contracted the flu, probably a virus, that stole my active life. I got sick & never recovered. Today is my M.E. anniversary, my "sickiversary." People with Long COVID are only beginning a journey that for me has lasted 35 years. #millionsmissing

able. Not by you - or me; by us all, together, as mindful people.
Worldwide neglect of ME has led to too many preventable deaths. This is not acceptable. Collective guilt is the appropriate response, it's what leads to reparation. @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social will be more eloquent on this.
