Over the next 3 days we'll be tweeting the IACFS/ME conference! The amazing lineup is available here: iacfsme.org/2021-iacfsme-v…

Dr. Jarred Younger is up to talk about imaging techniques for neuroinflammation. He has found a way to visualize elevated temperature in the brain and found that people with ME have pockets of heat across the brain - up to 100.8F!

This is related to overactivated microglia.

He talks about how we're repeating research in #LongCOVID and how we need to be focused on treatments & clinical trials right now, prioritizing the drugs we think will work, which he says there are a ton of. We can't wait for a perfect biomarker before we start trials.

📢 Body Politic & our research partner @patientled explain President Biden’s announcement yesterday about #LongCovid disability rights in the US, with quick links to federal agency publications on #LongCovid that patients should bookmark. #ADA31

First, links to publications from federal agencies on #LongCovid yesterday:

- Guidance from DOJ & HHS ada.gov/long_covid_joi…
- For students & educators: www2.ed.gov/about/offices/…
- Employment support @USDOL dol.gov/agencies/odep/…

- @ACLgov resources acl.gov/sites/default/…
2/
One of the main takeaways:
awareness for people with #LongCovid who now realize they may be considered disabled under ADA, IDEA, etc. and therefore may be entitled to accommodations & services that make everyday life activities, work, and school more accessible.
