Calling Discovery+ to cancel my subscription. They might point out that I don't actually subscribe to them but I'm taking no chances of even accidentally watching this.
Filming has started for a reality TV show focused on former Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg. Rees-Mogg has been filming a fly-on-the-wall documentary with the production company Optomen throughout the election. It is expected to stream on Discovery+. 🙄

Tous les gens qu'on a détestés cette semaine à la télé, ceux dont on s'est moqués parce qu'ils n'arrivaient qu'à begayer des demi-phrases racistes sur les plateaux, ces gens-là sont aux portes du pouvoir et vont voter en masse demain. Chaque voix va compter si on ne veut pas que ça arrive.

It really is a weird symmetry that this year the UK elections are the 4th of July and the US elections are the 5th of November.

The Morten Group at Oxford have a funding delay with a Chronic Lyme, ME/CFS PhD project. They need £70K to cover the 1st year costs to start on time. If you have a few £/$ to spare, please use the "Understanding the Causes of MECFS" link on this page. www.development.ox.ac.uk/mecfs #NEISvoid #MECFS

Just when I think the quality of Star Trek TNG is improving, we get a sex ghost and a poor actress who has to fling herself around the room being aroused by him. Also, I think he might be the creepy englishman from 3 men and a little lady so all in all gross.

More costs added to the ‘eat out to help out’ scheme as documents finally released about the £2 million spent on focus groups to try and get public to support an idea for which no scientists were consulted and almost certainly accelerated a second wave 😡🧪

Hello #NEISvoid, I am finally getting my first Shingrix vaccine tomorrow, but I am nervous as I have a history of vaccines giving me shingles… (happened 3 times and the 3rd time the shingles segued seamlessly into #MECFS). Any tips for dealing with side effects, etc? I will be taking lysine.

I could use some advice, #disability #NEISvoid pals: I’ll have family visiting soon and am considering a masked outing to the zoo w my littlest sister, age 10. Fun, but too much milling about for me with my #EDS/ #POTS/ chronic venous insufficiency… Unless I borrow a wheelchair. The thing: 1/

Hi #neisvoid Has anyone with iron/ferritin issues tried iron patches? Do they work? Are there any side effects/contraindications that a very chronically ill person should be aware of?

Hi #NEISvoid, I’m back again with yet another question. CRP & MCAS. I know there is maybe a correlation there but how high can CRO go due to MCAS alone, as opposed to a bacterial infection? E.g. a CRP of 59.9 strikes me as too high to just be MCAS, right? 😬
