It wasn't actually on repeat. I just asked for it again (outside of an appointment) and of course it has to be signed off by a doctor. A doctor told reception that I should take Ibuprofen because of the risks of Naproxen! I have booked an appointment to speak to a doctor about it. Hopefully when...

I have just been denied a Naproxen prescription despite it being issued previously. I take Naproxen very sparingly, as evidenced by the fact my last prescription for it was 7 months ago! I have a doctor's appointment soon to discuss this. The doctor who issued the prescription has now left the...

Maybe more hypocrisy than irony.

This tweet is being discussed on this thread https://www.s4me.info/threads/bmj-letter-from-longcovid-doctors.16887/#post-288633 *Dies from irony*

it looks like this isn't a paper that has been accpeted to a journal. This preprint site is run by MDPI, who are not well regarded.

Yes, you see more and more of this. People who haven't had good training in how to write academic manuscripts. Apart from the last few sentences, this abstract reads like an introduction.

I like these New Yorker articles that you can listen to. Thanks for posting! https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/08/17/the-musk-ox-and-me Totally not related but I enjoyed this recently.

This sort of concept would really describe my experience. Everything from lactic acid buildup, to problems with brain processing (possibly related to glymphatic system?), to the sleep disfunction.

Honestly, this seems like a waste of money to me. We would know by now if NAC had a significant effect on ME symptoms in a significant number of patients.

What do you mean by the internet archive? As in archive.org?

It would be good for someone to catalogue these NHS materials. Does anyone do this or know of anyone who does?

Thanks. My vitamin D level is fine, and is actually probably quite high at the moment because I'm supplementing with a 5,000 UI dose.

I don't take any medication really, and never knowingly had any problems with sugar or salt levels. But who knows.

Pain is not a huge issue for me. But last night I was awoken - must have been around 3 am - by a horrible deep ache in my right leg. It almost felt like bone pain. I think this has occurred a few times before in the past. I managed to get back to sleep after 20 mintues or so. Has anyone...

Sounds familiar!

This is the paper the article is based on https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11420-020-09777-1 Considerations for Return to Exercise Following Mild-to-Moderate COVID-19 in the Recreational Athlete "The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant morbidity and mortality around the...

I know one solution that would instantly lower their stress levels.

I've seen several in the MESpine Facebook group, some of whom have got worse. A common theme is for them to blame the lack of progress or worsening on something else - usually tethered cord.

https://www.quantamagazine.org/mitochondria-may-hold-keys-to-anxiety-and-mental-health-20200810/ Research hints that the energy-generating organelles of cells may play a surprisingly pivotal role in mediating anxiety and depression.

It needs to be stated again that medicine really doesn't understand fatigue, nor know how to treat it.
