The phrase “dangerously okay” applies to this time. ;)

To me, most aspects are fundamentally the same, but a few may differ. I ticked option 3.

Maybe look at this in the other direction? Maybe the term “psychosomatic” applies to any physical illness that psychiatrists (and others of a certain persuasion) believe they can treat by manipulating the sufferer’s mental approach? Thus no background knowledge of aetiology is relevant...

The person doesn’t have to declare a potential conflict of interest.

For me PEM is PEM, and can come from either cognitive or physical exertion Sure, I might have greater muscle aches after physical exertion, and perhaps a headache after cognitive exertion, but the rest of the nasty stuff is very similar either way.

Face masks could be giving people Covid-19 immunity, researchers suggest Mask wearing might also be reducing the severity of the virus and ensuring that a greater proportion of new infections are asymptomatic ByGeorgina Hayes12 September 2020 • 5:00pm...

This is interesting

Interesting. I wonder how long it persists in the blood? Would it be used as a preventative (eg medical staff treating infected) as well as a treatment of infected? Could whole populations receive it and could it help eradicate the virus??? A lot might ride on side effects and it’s...

At certain times, I found I couldn’t process the information required for certain types of decisions.

:rofl:

I can relate to temperature control issues.

I’m curious, why would the red arrows I’ve added, be omitted from the original? Edit to add: Not that I think it makes the diagram any better, only that I thought the premise was that everything was connected, so why omit 2 connections?

I find these sorts of articles a bit weird. If people are supposed to be susceptible to a mass hysteria, because we are all so very suggestible and tend to copy any problem we see, why then would anyone suggest something like re-entry syndrome at all? Surely it would be better not to suggest...

I think both of these statements have truth to them. (An individual near to me has severe clinical depression.)

Half life basically means the time it takes for half of the substance to decay. So if half life is 1 day and you start on a single dose of 100 units then Day 1 = 100 Day 2 = 50 Day 3 = 25 Day 4 = 12.5. Etc If you then start taking 100 every day the amount will accumulate over time, so Day 2 =...

Yes @Peter Trewhitt I too think some-one who had the virus a while ago (whether with Post-COVID symptoms, or totally well again) is “likely” to be no more of a risk than some-one who has never had COVID. Possibly less of a risk, but who knows!

Thanks for this response @Peter Trewhitt - I must go and look up about the mink farm! :bookworm: Re Long COVID - Do you know are the symptoms seen as ongoing COVID symptoms, or are they other symptoms that are more ME like? I had the notion that Long-COVID patients had recovered from COVID but...

I’m just wondering if anyone has seen any more up to date information on: 1. People who might carry COVID and pass it on without symptoms themselves? I know some can be infectious just before showing symptoms, but I’m wondering about the ability to be a longer term spreader of COVID without...

As I understand it the placebo effect includes regression to the mean. The whole point of a placebo is to be able to keep everything, except the active ingredient under test, the same for both groups. That way any difference between the groups is hopefully due to the ONLY thing that is...

Yes, I get some sort of weird sensation at the back of my neck. Not exactly pulsating but definitely a sort of pressure. Urgh. I think it’s a form of inflammation. I take ibuprophen to ease it, which seems to help. I tend to getting migraines, and sometimes they start with a dull pain...
