This week, @scotgovhealth published findings from an analysis of surveys issued to NHS Health Boards in Autumn 2022, to understand existing support for #pwME (or lack of, as we would argue) and implementation of the 2021 NICE guideline.

Thread 🧵 [1/4]
gov.scot/publications/m… Pleased to see the publication of the report, & the acknowledgement that the survey was a direct result of #MEAction Scotland's meeting with the then Cabinet Secretary for Health, @HumzaYousaf.

We'll be calling on @MathesonMichael & @jenni_minto to take this work forward. [2/4]

An #MEAction Scotland volunteer has shared her thoughts on #MillionsMissing Scotland 2022 and the unseen price that people with ME pay for their attendance:
Millions Missing
Well that was great.
People with ME, partners, friends, dogs.
Wheelchairs, scooters, chairs and a bed The bed for all our friends who can’t be here.
Some sent words, their voices for one moment as loud and clear
As any healthy person.
And MSPs. Wonderful, wonderful,
To see so many and hear their support.
They came, they spoke, they signed the pledge,
They saw and heard us

The awful reality of the price #pwME face for protesting. @therealmecfs is documenting the post-exertional malaise/symptom exacerbation she’s experiencing post #MillionsMissing

We don’t encourage anyone to push themselves into a crash but Jo was determined to join. Rest well ❤️
