The context for this is that now having to use a wheelchair because of my declining health is clearly making me just extra hilarious.

There is an image of a cat wearing glasses and reading books. Round the cat’s neck is a pendant with the words “Wise Cat”

The title says - “Do you suffer from outdated prejudices about #ME and #Long Covid?”

Wise Cat is saying “Stuff those prejudices down and see if you can squeeze a thought into the gap - here’s a link”. 

The link is - https://meassociation.org.uk

Round the outside of the cartoon is a dotted line with scissors on it and the words ‘cut out and keep for those annoying relatives/friends/doctors’

How about adding some sarcasm into your response? Why shouldn’t we laugh at their appallingly ignorant behaviour?

The title says “Post-viral Illness/BPS Model 

The first image is a glorious garden, a cat asleep in a tree, woman asleep (or dead) under a tree and a bird sitting on her shoulder looking puzzled. Surrounding the woman are images of viruses

On the left is an image of a dog barking up at dead tree, completely oblivious of  the situation behind him

In the middle Wise Cat sits on a pile of books - she is saying 
“The problem over there isn’t the lack of evidence over here, it’s a wilful refusal to turn round and see“

Should psychiatrists be allowed to redefine organic illnesses as primary mental health problems?

This is a cartoon image of two people talking, the person on the right is looking through a huge magnifying glass. 

The person on the left is asking: “What are you looking for?”

The person with the magnifying glass is replying: “This Labour government's moral compass”

Shame on this government +hurrah for the rebel MPs; many of whom have realised that the number of people in their constituency claiming PIP is larger than their parliamentary majority

Since becoming chronically ill, I have unlocked a new even deeper level of tiredness:
Trembling from all the adrenaline coursing through my veins

This is a cartoon with three images and a final box of words. 

The title says “Something is very wrong with the field of psychiatry...do they need some CBT?”

The first image is a glorious garden, a cat asleep in a tree, woman asleep or dead under a tree and a bird sitting on her shoulder looking puzzled. Surrounding the woman are images of viruses
The caption beneath the picture says ‘Post-Viral Illness’

The second image is a powerful dog barking at a dead tree. The caption says ’The Research’

The third image is about mind control and shows a hand manipulating strings attached to a brain. The caption says ‘The Cure’ 

In the final box is an image of a smart woman looking disapprovingly over her glasses. She is saying “all the wealth, science, research centres, computers, fine minds, and protections of human rights laws and the best they've come up with is punishment regimes and re-education fitness camps”

The title of this cartoon strip is - “ARE SOME DOCTORS REALLY SHEEPLE?”

There are four boxes with words.  Above the boxes is a collapsed woman with a coronavirus circling her head. 

The first box says “AT FIRST I WAS AFRAID, I WAS PETRIFIED”

The second box says “KEPT
THINKING I COULD NEVER LIVE WITHOUT A DOCTOR BY MY SIDE...”

The third box says “I WAS SO SICK I COULDN'T WORK, I COULDN'T EAT, I COULDN'T SLEEP...”

The last box says  “UNTIL I FIGURED OUT THEY WERE A FLOCK OF CLUELESS SHEEP.”

At the bottom of the cartoon is a group of confused looking sheep.

Heading - Why are there no treatments for post-viral illnesses?

This is a comic strip with four boxes. 

In Box one is a line drawing of a Victorian gentleman holding a wad of money. The caption says - “The role of medicine is to get sick people back to work making money for someone else...but it also has another (even darker) purpose”

Next to him is a rake wearing specs and the heading says …”if you're up for some self-promotion you can use medicine to acquire fame fortune AND TITLES..!”
The rake is saying “You can call me Professor Lord Sir Simeon Wiffle-Waffle, King of the illnesses that don’t have diagnostic tests”

Box 2 heading says - “If you start a science media centre to promote your point of view you con trample the declining health of millions worldwide whilst arguing that black is white.”
There is a Victorian gentleman on horseback riding over hundreds of skulls. The man is saying ‘Scientific Research
is clearly nonsense when the
to-psychosocial approach
can treat cancers, long-covid and =ME

Box 3 heading - “the problem for patients is that the BPS model only produces woolly ideas and prejudice. It hasn't generated any diagnostic tests or treatments.

The cartoon shows two men drinking brandy in armchairs in a gentlemen’s club. 
The man on the left is saying “More 300yr old brandy Sir Simeon?”

The man on the right is saying  “thanks, but I’ll just have some more money and power if it’s all the same to you!”

The final caption says - “It's been great at advancing some men's careers though!”

A yellow & white Warfarin treatment booklet with dates, INR numbers (INR is International Normalised Ratio - how long is takes for your blood to clot; in my case, the higher the number, the better) and dosages lies open in the foreground. 

To the left is the arm of the person posting, signaling a "thumbs up". In the background is a black and white cat cleaning himself, a cushion, and a cozy red fleece blanket.

Just doing my chronic illness/lifelong medication homework, no big deal.

Jokes aside, I need to keep on top of this record just in case I end up in a medical emergency, and I feel better having updated the booklet with my latest INR details.
