Feels like a good time for a thread about all things exercise for people living with infection (and exposure)-associated complex chronic illnesses (IACCs) such as #MECFS, #LongCOVID and chronic #Lyme /tick- and vector-borne illness. Let’s start with a trip down memory lane. 1/

At LAX rn feeling pretty exhausted but happy after providing CME-accredited #LongCOVID, #MECFS and chronic #Lyme disease education to over 1000 physicians this week. This is going to be the rhythm for 2025: sharing what we have learned from research and clinical experience 1/

We had a #vaccine against #Lyme disease in the 90s that was pulled after a few years bc of ultimately unfounded safety concerns. Now we may get another shot at a vaccine to prevent a potentially debilitating disease that's only increasing today. www.scientificamerican.co….

1) OMG we did it‼️‼️ In this film for #MEawarenessmonth, five medical doctors open up about living with #PAIS/#IACC conditions like ME, #longCOVID, and chronic #Lyme. It’s a format that I believe has never been shown before. They speak candidly about their experiences youtu.be/J0ywwLIfH_w?...

Wishing everyone a happy new year and we will be forging ahead in 2026 with renewed energy to find answers for people living with #LongCOVID, #MECFS, chronic #lyme and other infection-associated chronic conditions and illnesses. Speaking for myself, here are some questions I 1/

sickest and most disabled among us exert themselves and jump through endless hoops to prove they are sick is violence. Working everyday with people who have #LongCOVID, #MECFS, chronic #lyme, #Stroke, #spinalcordinjury, #ALS and many other conditions, I am constantly aware 3/

other infection-associated chronic illnesses such as #MECFS and chronic #lyme would kill for. Attempting to frame PEM as a preferential state is scientifically invalid and unusually cruel. Thank you to Rob and team for fighting the good fight. /end

before times. If you speak to most #LongCOVID, #MECFS or chronic #Lyme experts they will tell you that probably >70% have POTS or dysautonomia that contribute to their overall symptom burden in some way. This means that theoretically these people could benefit from POTS 14/

Finally online - sharing our findings that #Lyme disease bacteria can live in female reproductive organs for over a year and increase risk for gynecological disease!!! We found this increased risk in mice and humans! 😱 (thread below) www.medrxiv.org/content/1….

Proud to post this link to the article that I wrote in the September issue of @aba.org's Birding magazine - much easier to read than the scanned jpgs I posted earlier. Thank you ABA and @birdizlife.bsky.social! #birds #birding #Lyme #Lymedisease #wellness www.aba.org/birding-and-...

Hi all, across our six centers serving people with spinal cord injury, stroke, TBI, #LongCOVID, #MECFS, chronic #lyme, new parents, cerebral palsy and many other conditions, roughly 20% are dependent on SNAP benefits for survival. So we're trying to pull together a food drive! 1/

Thanks very much Lea! I've gained a lot of new followers lately, so I'll introduce myself. I had to retire after contracting #Lyme. I discovered that #birds and #birding were helpful in dealing with my chronic pain, and wrote a book about it. It includes lots of tips for getting into birding!

I so enjoyed reading @thebirderbob.bsky.social’s book on chronic illness & the joys of #birding. The book outlines his personal experience with #Lyme & navigating our broken healthcare system, emphasizing the healing power of #birds 🪶 & #nature. Highly recommend. Kudos, Bob! #books #ReadList
