Wow, 18,000 registered participants. 13,500 completed the questionnaire = a huge dataset on ME. Not everyone will be invited to provide a DNA sample so we need your help to #DecodeME.
Help us now to recruit to the world’s largest study for people with #MECFS

#DecodeME participants also asked for a DNA sample will receive a spit kit in the post soon.
It may take some time for the many kits to be sent out. Don’t worry as they are on their way.
If you have received yours, share your experience: #SpitToDecodeME

So humbling to be in the grandstand to cheer our runners over the finish line. All running in recognition of someone they know with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis We even got 3 mentions on the tv commentary (think it was the over exuberant shouting and excitement!)

Thanks for sharing the reasoning. I think it highlights how seriously the team is taking the study. It's hard because everyone wants to be part of it but we have to think of the long view/outcomes and stick together.

We know how important DecodeME is to #pwME We have taken on board the frustration expressed by some who haven't been asked to donate DNA and want to address the points raised. Read our post here:

I’m sorry we didn’t reach you with that message and I will ensure I feed your comments back to the team too

I'm sure you'll understand that sharing the details of the inclusion/exclusion criteria could well affect how people yet to take part answer the questionnaire. I'm sorry you weren't aware that not everyone would be eligible. posted this earlier to another query

Yes, we do not manually process the questionnaires to avoid any errors. I can’t see the tweet you’re replying to due to the person who is tweeting’s setting

It’s hugely valuable to have the wealth of data from the questionnaires and you will still be a part of the study if you complete one. We tried really hard to make people aware in advance that not all will be invited to provide a sample and I’m sorry that this didn’t reach you

considered all severities. I'm on the Communications team and have had severe M.E. so am sorry this information didn't reach you. It is disappointing to not be chosen for part 2, but I cannot stress enough how vital your questionnaire entries are.
