left: Carly, a dilute calico, just chilling on the sofa right: Choky, a tortie, looking up at the camera wondering why a photo is necessary just because she decided to sit in a cardboard box
but doing that'll be difficult: Nop & I live on opposite sides of Australia & #SevereME means I'm now too disabled to travel to Melbourne to be there for my bf 😥
Nop won't post from hospital but we talk often so I'll post updates and can pass on messages
also Carly & Choky be missing their hooman!😿😿

Thank you for responding, Nicola - I saw in your bio you have #mecfs and I’ve had ##myalgicencephalomyelitis since 1997 and #SevereME for the past 11 years so if you get to the point you can start sharing again, I’d always appreciate the help ❤️🩹

Thank you for this💙
My cat & I have been homeless since Sept 2025 (I’m severely disabled & my health is deteriorating rapidly due to this situation).
We urgently need help for meds & to stay in this motel room!

Person holding and kissing a black cat that’s staring grumpily at the camera with the words: @MonkeyMyBlackCat Venmo: Donia-Lilly Other ways to help in bio
They tell me to give up my cat
That I'll have an easier time
finding a roof to sleep under
without her.
Little do they know
she's the only reason
I have left to look for a roof
under which to sleep.

Inspired by German protests using body bags.
ME kills — directly, and through neglect.

TRAILER: Buried Alive with M.E.
I’ve spent the last months making a film for M.E. Kills, an online exhibition by A Quiet Storm.
People with ME die every week. Many more are left to rot in dark rooms without care, disbelieved and dismissed. It’s a living death.

Front page of the Irish ME Tips Collection, launched by @irishmecfsassoc.bsky.social in 2003.
I mainly posting this image now for the cartoon but it's here 1drv.ms/b/c/94454629...
A lot of the tips are more focused for people with severe or moderately severe ME.

Are there any #MECFS friendly doctors in #Adelaide that can treat a patient with #SevereME who is housebound, and about 99% bedridden?
I can’t get to a doctor’s office and need someone who can treat me at home.
It’s that, or be neglected to death.
Any ideas?

Really don’t know what I’m supposed to do.
An appointment with an hours travel every 3 months will keep me in rolling PEM.
If I don’t go in every 3 months, I won’t have a doctor at all.
I really need an advocate. I can’t deal with this myself. #SevereME #MECFS

So, if I want to live, I have to find a way to get to the doctor’s office every 3 months.
Going to the doctor’s office every 3 months will mean I’m never out of PEM.
My choices right now are death, or rolling PEM from going to the doctor’s office so often 😭

So much to do. So little energy.
I’d love a month off being sick so I could get shit done.
It’s incredibly frustrating being very motivated, yet trapped in a body that can barely function.

A super hard trip again. Soph's gradual worsening means the risk of hospital looms larger than ever. And yet we know this would make her worse.
06/04/2026 A relentless spiral.

& regardless of any short term solutions, I desperately need ppl to share my GoFundMe as it’s taken 18+ months to reach 33% of the goal.
If we reach it soon then I won’t need more short term housing! 🙏
(Every move causes my health to deteriorate 💔)

Yup. 71 yrs later &we’re still diagnosed w/ modern versions of “hysteria” (severe somatic pain disorder)😒
I wrote this in 2016 (& tried to warn ppl online not to overexert in spring 2020 when I read their laundry list of mysterious symptoms “after” Covid💔)

Aside from cost, it’s unsustainable to stay in my motel room (&I can’t move place to place w/ #SevereME)…
The lady next door since Jan is dying of liver failure & coughing up a lung all hours of day/night. +Her adult son SCREAMS at her &throws things at the wall (&watches action movies FULL BLAST)

"Our study joins a growing body of work by scholars and patient advocates calling for recognition, respect, and reinvestment in the lives of those with severe ME/CFS These individuals are not invisible by choice; they are rendered invisible by systems that refuse to acknowledge their existence and suffering. Listening to their voices is a moral imperative, a research necessity, and a first step toward justice." RESEARCH UK INFORM. INFLUENCE. INVEST. SCO36942 Nezamdoust and Ruel. Social Science & Medicine (2026)

BBC Wales Our son loved the outdoors – invisible illness means he now can't walk or talk The article includes several people with ME/CFS in Wales where NHS services are patchy. The Welsh Government is quoted: "Proposals for an all‑Wales specialist, an expert group and national standards are being actively considered as part of the service's ongoing development." Dr Charles Shepherd and several people with ME/CFS took part in a BBC Radio Wales phone-in. Duration 26 minutes.

UK DHSC delays commissioning of services for the most severely affected The Department of Health and Social Care now expect that work will begin in April 2027 to start the process of commissioning a service for those with very severe ME/CFS. This is said to be due to wider organisational changes within the NHS. #ThereForME have produced a PDF briefing on the topic. PDF | Thread
