Being left to starve to death like many others we have lost from our M.E community. I'm mentally strong but have my limits !Doctors tend to come and see me when I'm asleep!

@NeurologistMom Yes we need a new name .I have severe M.E mainly bedbound I find CFS insulting as its used as a label to prevent us from accessing treatments that could help & used to stigmatise us .It has to change ! I've been left in a dangerous state many times due to the CFS label .

@swastrosarah @ThePOTSPostman @The_MRC Thank you ๐Ÿ’™ I've not been tested for Gastroparesis recently but 12 years ago capsule camera test showed I had slow gastric emptying. Tried to tell doctor this yesterday he said If anyone is tested due to stress they will get a diagnosis of Gastroparesis even himself!

Losing consciousness, stroke-like symptoms, seizures - Carla who has v.severe MECFS & orthostatic intolerance needs urgent help, instead Drs ignore experts, cause suffering with light & sound & cancel referrals. This MUST change NOW #SaveCarlasLife @rcphysicians @PSCommissioner

To all the Doctors that like to gaslight patients with M.E (NOT Cfs) maybe you should educate yourselves rather than do more harm !! I and many many others are waiting for the cure you have blocked & buried the science so you can continue your narrative .Shame on you!

Imagine being so sick itโ€™s agony to eat, going to hospital for help, instead doctors cancel referrals, ignore expertsโ€™ instructions & cause MORE pain, whilst you rapidly deteriorate to seizures & unconsciousness because they think #ExposeMENow is psychological #SaveCarlasLife
