1/ I politely and urgently request for the name of Dr Amy Proal @microbeminded2 to also be added. If she is willing, it is essential Dr Proal also be given a seat at the #ME round table. @LucyChappell2 @sajidjavid

2/ Dr Proal is a strong ally of patients with #ME. Having experienced the illness herself, she has a unique understanding of the condition which she is using to inform hypotheses.

3/ Alongside others, she recently published pioneering work which showed #microclots in the blood of those with #ME.

4/ She is now working hard to search for viral persistence in tissues. This is **world leading research** which must be funded.

I would not request for the name of Amy Proal @microbeminded2 to be added if I did not think it was absolutely necessary. @LucyChappell2 @sajidjavid

5/ #ME #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MECFS #millionsmissings please get behind this. 🙏🏽 For too long this condition has been neglected. Having experienced #ME for yourself you will know this is not just tiredness but tissue hypoxia.

6/ Our tissues are oxygen starved. Micro clots and autoimmunity are likely downstream processes of viral persistence. Now is our chance to prove this. Let’s find a cure. #LongCovid #longEBV #LongCMV #LongLyme
