To defend ourselves from medical gaslighting and bad treatment by doctors, patients are told “don’t be afraid to speak up,” “stand up for yourself,” “advocate!” Have you ever had to advocate for yourself in a medical appointment, only to be treated WORSE because of it? #neisvoid #eds #pwme #pots

Der Diagnostic Delay bei #POTS - einer Erkrankung mit oft vergleichsweise typischen Symptomen - ist schlimm. Dass er bei Frauen fast doppelt so lange wie bei Männern ist, und dass dies offensichtlich durch ärztliche Faktoren bedingt ist, muss zu denken geben. academic.oup.com/eurjcn/a….

It’s kind of amazing the difference abdominal compression is making for me. Either my past methods weren’t good enough OR I was previously too sick for it to matter (I suspect the latter). I have not increased my upright time but the time i am upright is less uncomfortable #LongCovid #MECFS #POTS

Our statement in response to The Telegraph article: 'How having a disability became cool' Young women, named 'sickfluencers', are turning chronic illness into a lifestyle trend & entrenching a culture of economic inactivity.' by Poppy Coburn, featuring Suzanne O'Sullivan. #longcovid #pwME #POTS
It is disheartening & predictable to see Suzanne O’Sullivan once again given a platform to promote psychosomatic explanations for chronic illness — this time in a Telegraph article attacking disabled people as influenced by social media, identity and attention.

There is a fundamental problem with this framework: it creates a self-reinforcing evidential trap. If patients accept a psychosomatic explanation, it confirms the theory.

If they reject it, their distress is interpreted as evidence that they are psychologically invested in being ill.

If they seek support from other patients, that's “social reinforcement”.
