Alright #LongCovid and #MECFS friends… Does anyone know of good databases that include authentic stock photos of ME and LC? I know the German Association for #MECFS did this one a few years back. Any others? - ThreadSky

Does anyone know of good databases that include authentic stock photos of ME and LC?

I know the German Association for #MECFS did this one a few years back.

Any others?

@exceedhergrasp1.bsky.social do you know of any good databases for authentic stock pics of mecfs ? to combat negative stereotypes when people use bad pictures (i’m summarizing poorly, OP says more)

thank you for your time!

I'll alert @meactnet.bsky.social -- we've done this a number of times over the years, Holly may remember more

Forgot to tag the German Association for ME/CFS @dgmecfs.bsky.social

I believe this is the correct account for them. Let me know if I’m wrong.

We know there’s a lot of stigma surrounding #MECFS and unfortunately it’s building with #LongCovid too.

It’d be great if we had a resource to point editors to.

Maybe then we’d have fewer “oh woe is me” hand on the forehead photos.

You could try asking @aaronca11.bsky.social who coordinates the Long Covid Billboards campaign. I don't think he's very active on here though, so you might have to try the other place.
