Steunen jullie deze helden en daarmee ook biomedisch onderzoek?

My illness is not part of my identity.

Some late‑night, off‑the‑cuff rambling about the notion that some people make their illness part of their identity.

This was partly in response to that Telegraph article.

The Hidden Hierarchy of Illness

Screenshot from September AMMES newsletter

#MEcfs #PwME #CFS #ME #MyalgicE

Photo of a man with his head in his hand with the following text The Hidden Hierarchy of Illness "As a rehabilitation physician working closely with patients with long-standing ME/CFS and functional disorders, I have repeatedly been struck by a paradox that is difficult to forget. Several patients whom I had followed for years, disabled by profound fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, and loss of function, were later found to have incidental MRI findings that supported a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Each time, I expected devastation. Instead, more than one patient told me that the day they were given the diagnosis of MS was ‘the best day of my life’. Not because their suffering had changed, but because, for the first time, it had become legitimate. They were no longer exhausted without cause, disabled without explanation, or ill without status. They had crossed an invisible threshold from a condition that required justification into one that commanded recognition." Read more here>>

Image of somebody looking out over a long pier into an area of water Trial By Error: Norway Disability Case Exposes Flaws in Draft Guideline for “Long-Term Fatigue–including ME/CFS” The Norwegian ME Association recently posted an account by Schei of a hearing involving a young man’s effort to obtain disability benefits. The account makes for troubling reading. As Schei notes, “the case provided frightening perspectives on Nav’s view of ME”—specifically, that “the prognosis for ME was good, and that recovery from ME was about faith and hope and motivation.” Given that, any failure to get better can be interpreted as the patient’s fault.

For World Suicide Prevention Day. Adult patients affected by ME are at an increased risk of death by suicide, but as a health care professional you can help instead of harm.
