We also have a wool topper that we're both very happy with, on top of a natural latex mattress. When we bought it the supplier had two kinds, one with treated wool with supposedly no wool smell, so if smell is an issue maybe other suppliers have the same type of product? Ours was bought from a...

A post on the evidence base on collagen degradation in ME/CFS has been moved to its own thread "What is the evidence for collagen degradation in ME/CFS?".

For context, there is a large debate in Norway on how our GP system should be, as the current system is somewhat falling apart (GPs quitting, few med students wants to become GPs, many people are without a GP in their area).

Oi! I'll have you know nutrition science really does see this issue, and it would totally be resolved if it wasn't so much easier to validate results using a method with the same weaknesses and biases as the first method! It's driving me nuts. Why do we continue to collect all the data...

I agree with @Sasha that the phrasing some places made it difficult to answer as someone who don't use HRM for pacing right now. Another comment @PhysiosforME would be that abbreviations should be explained in the questions. If I had not been active on this forum with many members from the UK I...

Been having really bad PEM lately, no idea if it's vaccine related or not (life happened after I got the second jab and felt I was getting better). Things that haven't given me PEM in a long time is suddenly a problem. My boyfriend got his second jab a few days ago and has had a light headache...

Not ME related, but in "Dagens Medisin" there is an article now about pwDiabetes, where the doctor says it is important to not downplay risks of relapse if the patient no longer qualify for a diabetes diagnosis due to blood glucose levels below the diagnostic threshold (for example due to a...

It's not the first time he's showed up. Based on who wrote the article I don't really see the point in complaining (they have written if not all so nearly all of the terrible articles about ME in Dagbladet).

I don't think it is used routinely in Norway, although mine was checked before I was eventually diagnosed with ME (I apparently presented with lupus-like symptoms). The Wikipedia article (sans the lupus part, which I found a bit oversimplified) is in line with what we learned about the...

Sorry but "need to try to spend more time in the sun" :laugh: I'm surprised at these numbers from Spain, but even in sunny parts of the world vitamin D deficiency is not uncommon due to clothing, sunscreen use and what time of day people are typically outdoors. Not least what time of year the...

My latest long-ish crash in April was due to an intensive two week with digital lectures every day for 6-8 hours, and a one week home exam after that. I skipped some of the non-compulsory attendance and had thought to just not participate much in the compulsory lectures, but we had group work...

He has commented on the cochrane review, calling it "shite" to @Caroline Struthers if I remember correctly. But that was before his about face after having recovered.

Ah, obviously if you're in the UK you would first share this story with a newspaper from Norway :whistle: Well said @Trish

The Norwegian newspaper that wrote about the ME WAR last summer, has a giant headline about Garner receiving death threats because he has recovered from long covid. I don't want to give them any clicks, but the person who made me aware of the fact said the death threats are related to him...

I got my second jab on monday, and in contrast to the first one it really hurt. I don't know if the guy was just more rough or if there was another reason, but the injecrion site was throbbing for about five minutes before it recided. Throughout the day the injection site got sore again, but...

I was taught about "over reacting" mothers when we had our pediatrics subject. It's not so much that the mothers say to the child that they will get the disease, it's that the mothers interpret any and all symptoms as sign of a health conditions. If we get these lectures in nutrition, I would...

The last author is also working for our public health institution, and all three have previously downplayed the effect covid can have on kids. Only a few days ago one repeated the claim that covid does not spread in schools for example (Norway opened schools/universities two weeks ago with no...

I do remember being told by one of my lecturers (in nutrition) that you judge a piece by who wrote it. GRADE was not part of the discussion :P

As I've mentioned on another thread where this argument was made - the authors of said argument had argued against this point when it came to nutrition studies (as a reply to yet another set of authors who wanted to make their own GRADE system for nutritional science as using GRADE would...

Thank for emphasising the science, @JohnTheJack .
