Me/cfs: *Is called myalgic encephalomyelitis because it entails chronic muscular pain and inflammation of the brain and spinal cord which indicates autoimmune complications* *can be passed down genetically* *often occurs after viral infections* *causes nk and t cell dysfunction, also indicating autoimmunity* *causes mitochondrial dysfunction meaning your body literally does not make enough energy* 

Professionals: I think it’s in your head. Have you tried exercise or CBT? I only recently heard about it because they don’t cover it in medical school. Have you tried antidepressants or losing weight though?

Lets talk about CFS/ME

Fatigue is what we experience, but it is what a match is to an atomic bomb. - Laura Hillenbrand.

You wake up one day with a bad flu. And it never goes away. Ever. - Justin Reilly

Eventually I received a diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, a name that feels insulting when your entire life has been stolen from you. - Ryan Prior

Psychiatry has become the place where we shunt illnesses that we don’t yet understand. - Jennifer Brea

The ME that we know has no connection to childhood problems or maternal anxiety but an illness that strikes out of the blue in previously healthy persons. - Invest in ME Research

Regarding the classification of chronic fatigue syndrome and myalgic encephalomyelitis, or CFS/ME, the government accept the World Health Organisation’s classification of the illness as a neurological condition of unknown origin. - Lord O'Shaughnessey

Patient evidence has repeatedly found that cognitive behaviour therapy is ineffective and graded exercise therapy can make the condition worse. - Charles Shepherd.

I have seen three beautiful young girls in their 30s within the last few years pass away due to this illness, who not only fought their battles with this illness but who played an important role in raising awareness of ME. Yes you can die as a result of having ME if you become at the severe end of it which 25% do. - Tracey Browett

I’ll tell you what’s ferocious. Freddie’s comeback to Sid calling him “Freddie Platinum” when they were recording down the hall from each other at London’s Wessex Studios (Queen for News of the World, Pistols for Bollocks).

Sid Vicious made the mistake one day of bursting into Queen’s control room and antagonizing their frontman. “Have you succeeded in bringing ballet to the masses, then?” he sneered. “Oh, yes, Simon Ferocious,” Mercury replied. “We’re trying our best, dear.” 

Then, according to Queen biographer Daniel Nester, Freddie rose from his chair and began to playfully flick the safety pins displayed on the front of Sid’s leather jacket. “Tell me,” he asked, “did you arrange these pins just so?” When Sid stepped forward in an attempt to intimidate Freddie, the singer simply pushed him backwards and inquired, “What are you going to do about it?” Sid immediately backed down.

Freddie Mercury may very well have had the biggest dick energy of anyone who ever lived

Sure wish I was seeing this one circulating more than the other ones without the information literacy component.

So here I am, circulating it.

i will say the funniest thing i’ve ever fucking seen on a tv soap is when my mum was watching holby city (british medical drama) many many years ago and there was this one really arrogant anaesthetist and he was bragging about something or other while holding a charged defibrillator pad in each hand and triumphantly clapped them together and just straight up electrocuted himself and fucking died. it was supposed to be like a serious scene but nothing i’ve ever watched since has surpassed that level of comedy

it’s so much fucking funnier than i remember

i hate when people are like UHM FRUIT ISNT ACTUALLY GOOD FOR YOU IT HAS A LOT OF SUGAR like shut the fuck up go eat your nutritionally complete meal powder you bought off a fucking kickstarter project okay let me enjoy a clementine 

God SAME.

It even goes beyond that, like if I ever eat a raw vegetable for my own health I always get shit like “yeah but the dressing is super bad for you so you canceled it out by eating ranch with it” or “carrots have tons of carbs they’re basically sugar”

And I’m just like for real? I can’t have a baby carrot with ranch? I can’t have some fucking grapes? If the only truly “”“pure”“” food I can eat is raw celery and a daily multivitamin I’d quite honestly and truly rather just be dead.

Just because something has a lot of calories or sugar doesn’t mean it’s bad for you. Veggies and fruits have a ton of vitamins and minerals and fiber and you NEED calories for like…your body to work. So who cares if you smother them in ranch. Just don’t dip a clementine in ranch

I’m gonna dip a clementine in ranch.

Why do you hate Jesus

Jesus is my homeboy but God has a lot to answer for and my rebellion will continue until he does so.

Nothing about this post prepared me for that raw ass last line.
