So proud of this collaboration with @getbcard and the innovative approaches to supporting communities like @OpenMedF So many opportunities to create positive network effects for all and solve big global health issues at the same time.

We're excited to announce the launch of @OpenMedF on BCard! Now you (yes, you!) can easily support OMF's novel collaborative research approach for diseases like ME/CFS and long COVID by signing up for BCard (🇺🇸 only, link below). @OpenMedF is doing something remarkable...

Canadian non-profits and charities, @canadiancharity is a stellar partner to have on your team, and provides helpful & informative online resources and webinars.

Online courses are not as much fun as in-person. But they save a lot of travel time and cost and are available sometimes 24/7 not once per year or 2. Also you can start and stop at your pleasure. You can even replay Checkout our 19 courses canadiancharitylaw.ca/courses/



Hello @memdotai 👋 just setting up my Twitter flow. Here's my validation code: 5OCSqazfTtY7LnCGIaFL


Thanks @PutrinoLab for this excellent summary and response, and for your continued and valued work to understand #LongCOVID and similar diseases like #MECFS and others.

We are in our fourth year of work to understand #LongCovid and we now know things about it thanks to science. After being told again by a quasi-well meaning, if uninformed, clinician that LC is just functional neurological disorder (FND). Here’s a 🧵 on why LC IS NOT FND (1/)



Kudos @r_prior . Blows my mind (and @OpenMedF) that articles like this are still needed in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence of biological basis of #MECFS & #LongCovid

Today for @openmind_mag, I have a big new essay about #longcovid, #mecfs, and how we’ve surpassed a historic pivot point in the scientific understanding of post-infectious disease. openmindmag.org/articles/gasli…

ICYMI: Check out the following #research initiatives supported by OMF in 2022: omf.ngo/2022-research-… Thanks to you, we’ve made incredible strides in collaborative research that have laid the foundation for OMF to now move forward with small clinical trials for ME/CFS treatment.

Does ME/CFS Change Molecularly Throughout a Day? Jonas Bergquist & Christopher Armstrong's New Study: bit.ly/3NVNejI This study plans to use high-frequency blood testing—multiple tests over a 6–8-hour period—to evaluate what changes in #MECFS patients over a day.

This is a must read regarding healthcare’s failure with chronic complex diseases. See what @OpenMedF is doing to fix this.

"It did not matter that I was an educated medical professional receiving care from the same hospital system in which I worked. The moment I became sick I was just a patient in a bed, no longer credible in the eyes of most physicians." Powerful piece👇 medium.com/@InkOnThePage/…

The monthly letter from Dr. Howard Zucker, @nysdoh Health Commissioner, urges physicians to recognize signs & symptoms of #LongCOVID and to consider diagnosis of #MECFS. Read the full letter: on.ny.gov/3C8YkLM #CountLongCOVID #Millionsmissing #PwME

While post-viral illnesses are not new, they have been considerably neglected by the public health, medical, and scientific communities. The COVID-19 pandemic is now causing a reckoning with this institutional neglect. blog.petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2021/07/29/lon…

"#LongCovid has exposed medicine's blind spot". Which blind spot? Previous (post-infection) chronic symptoms, despite a long history of high numbers of patients, have remained very poorly understood and constitutes one of medicine's largest blind-spots. thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

This guy. Way to go, Brayden! 👏

Many thanks to @edyong209 and @ChrisCuomo for continuing to shine a light on this topic. #covidlonghaulers @OpenMedF
