Thanks for posting . Its so interesting. The whole covid thing has maybe caused experts to start use joined up thinking at last. Hopefully any research ( 🤞 that someone some institution will fund it ) will prove useful across the board in the area of autoimmune conditions .

Interesting thankyou for posting.

A GP friend, doesn't believe ME exists

(it's called 'me' for a reason according to him).

Hopefully the research and development can help dispel some of these attitudes as well as drive forward treatments for all.

That's awful 😢It was similar with IBS when I first had it; an older GP told me that it was "just indigestion" and it was a few years later before a new one told me that I had IBS. In those days it was still largely unrecognised so it was quite a relief when it became more widely accepted.

My RA started after a ‘proper’ dose of flu years ago. It all makes sense - thanks for the link. P
