Unless there's a dramatic change in how ME is understood & how pwME are treated & cared for by the NHS @england.nhs.uk very soon, we have every reason to call for a Public Enquiry & I hope that #pwME will have full support in taking this action.

Lots of folks in #pwME #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MECFS #Spoonie community are in need.

Mutual aid matters. When able, I try to divide giving between mutual aid & non-profits doing the work to help folks so hopefully one day they will not need mutual aid!

Sharing a few folks in need.

@minetodo.bsky.socialSep 22, 2026, 8:33 PM

As you are able, please give to this new Friends of Cynthia Johnson Fall 2026 GoFundMe. Timely help is greatly needed! And sharing with others would be greatly appreciated. 💛
Thank you for your kindness and help!

"Miranda Hart: Chronic illness will make Celebrity Traitors 'challenging'"

www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

This article is based on a PA piece. There seem to be a number in the Irish media & I imagine quite a large number in the UK media mentioning Miranda's ill-health.

Miranda Hart: Chronic illness will make Celebrity Traitors 'challenging'
Updated / Tuesday, 22 Sep 2026 14:40

Miranda Hart
Miranda Hart
Miranda Hart has said The Celebrity Traitors will be "challenging" on her body and people will not know if she is "sitting there in pain" because of her chronic illness.

The TV star, 53, best known for popular BBC sitcom Miranda, has spoken about being diagnosed with Lyme disease.

The disease can be easily treated if caught early, but Hart did not know what was causing her to feel unwell for some time, leading her to be diagnosed with Myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

This trip, some of the ways Soph and I connect became harder for her and rarer as a result. She also skipped half of the lunches so I saw her less. Everything gets taken from us eventully.

I am not despairing. I am 'managing expectations' for #pwME #LongCovidME and their families. Legal action is limited and the neglect being experienced by too many needs more than the UK courts can achieve when UK government is so weak.

I'm later than usual today posting today's #MorningView.

So lovely to see everything looking so green and to feel it wet underfoot after such a hot, dry summer.

Have a gentle day ❤️🐌

@actionforme.bsky.social @meassociation.org.uk @meactionuk.bsky.social
the situation for #pwME is getting worse according to some who are directly involved in caring for the most severely affected, clearly far more needs to be done to protect patients immediately

@katybrc.bsky.socialSep 22, 2026, 10:14 AM

Who is taking responsibility for ensuring that the very worst cases of abuse of #pwME by HCPs are being reported directly to the APPG on #ME & @tessamunt.bsky.social ❓
& who's taking responsibility for ensuring that all
NHS ME clinics are following the '21 @nicecomms.bsky.social g'lines for ME❓

Last #MedicaidMonday, we shared that CMS announced states may use a tier system to determine which Medicaid applicants qualify for the medical frailty exemption from new work requirements. Today, we are going to explain those tiers!

#Medicaid #PwME #PwLC #disability #FrailAndFurious

Medicaid 3-tier model with criteria for medical frailty exemption. What may qualify people for the medical frailty exemption? Tier 1: Diagnosis alone, which a doctor has recorded in their records, may meet exemption requirements. Tier 2: Diagnosis with other supplemental information - from past claims and clinical records the state collects for you - may meet exemption requirements. Tier 3: Cases that can't be resolved through available data. Submitting additional documentation may be necessary
