Many more UK people with ME/CFS are needed for this large genetic study. All severity levels can take part as participation is from home
Questionnaires can be filled in on paper or online, and saliva samples for DNA extraction are sent by post. The target is 25000 DNA samples, incl. 5000 diagnosed with ME/ #CFS following #Covid19 infection

Please help me find a #GP or any #doctor willing to prescribe #fentanyl patches (or dose equivalent) within 13 days in #Melbourne #Australia
Refused meds by GP who promised to prescribe until I found a new GP (he dropped me bc my case is too complex). Changed his mind! Now have 13 days to find any doctor to write a script or #withdrawal agony & no #pain control.
Time running out fast!😫
#Boosts appreciated!
