POTS - Salt and water
Whenever I diagnose a pt with POTS, I explain how POTS affects their body (but in particular their gut). I then show how this leads to the development of symptoms. And how to treat.
For every disease we should always discuss treatments

@NeleHelena@Fionas_Story Wishing everyone success with their treatments and cures - people should try whatever they wish to.
Also happy to pick up the pieces and offer support if it doesn't work, or at any stage of the journey.

📰 Excellent article on the mass media tendency to psychologise Long Covid. 👏
"Levinovitz is straining mightily to interpret patients’ experiences in ways that conform to a preferred narrative.”
NEW ARTICLE from me in @FAIRmediawatch:
"The Media Won't Stop Psychologizing Long Covid."
An overview of this unfortunate propaganda trend in the media since 2020, including where it comes from and what it gets wrong.
Link in next post.
Despite more than 30 years of research confirming the biological mechanisms involved in #ME which are acknowledged by the CDC—experts are often drowned out in the media by a cadre of psychiatrists and others determined to frame it as a mental health issue. fair.org/home/media-won…

@patrickc Big congrats, an amazing and timely initiative! 👏👏
If successful it will also help to reduce the incidences of myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), which most commonly has an infectious onset and has a truly devastating impact on tens of millions globally.

@Naomi_D_Harvey@MEResearchUK Donated and RT'ed, thank you so much for all your contributions to this community! Happy birthday! 🎈
And if anyone with ME is seeing this and haven't done one before, I really encourage you to try a birthday fundraiser if you can!
I’ve setup a birthday fundraiser for @MEResearchUK as next month will be my 40th birthday and since I can’t celebrate with a party etc this seems like a good thing to do and I haven’t done one before!
Please share it & donate only if you can 🙏🏻 🩵
