    What empirical evidence is there that heart-rate monitoring helps avoid PEM?

    Wow I get lactic acid buildup from having a shower

    What empirical evidence is there that heart-rate monitoring helps avoid PEM?

    I can go over it by drying a dish. It’s all relative. I’d imagine if I was severe/very severe I’d go over it if someone started banging around or told me sad news.

    What empirical evidence is there that heart-rate monitoring helps avoid PEM?

    If I recall correctly, Visible data was used by someone and they're claiming they can “predict” crashes. Maybe Visible themselves, or Putrino? Whatever it was, over a year ago, I wasn’t convinced and I like my Visible a lot. Personally I agree with the above- it broadly shows you want is...

    Distinguish ADHD symptoms from ME/CFS symptoms?

    I know a few men who are more like the “ADHD in Women” I doubt there’s a difference, probably just that a certain ADHD type was ignored until it became clear, was seen in women first just like the hyper-cant sit still type was recognised in men (and thought to be all that ADHD was for a time).

    Distinguish ADHD symptoms from ME/CFS symptoms?

    Sometimes if I have the time and energy, I like to let my brain run riot and bounce around, half-thinking about 5 unrelated things at once. Writing half a note, thinking of something, writing another note, reading the notes back and not even remembering them. Other times having a “crash”is...

    Distinguish ADHD symptoms from ME/CFS symptoms?

    You may not be a fan but I like the little cartoon slides people make on Instagram, see examples below. They are good for prompting areas to think about. It was the “finishing people’s sentences” for me! I can’t help it. I hate doing it but I still do it! Also I read ADDitude magazine online...

    Distinguish ADHD symptoms from ME/CFS symptoms?

    Your answers align with what I was thinking…the ADHD usually in Women is the Attention Deficit part, or Hyperactive Attention. It’s much more related to executive functioning issues. If you are fairly intelligent you will have learned what is expected of you, and found ways to “make it happen”...

    Distinguish ADHD symptoms from ME/CFS symptoms?

    I think I am undiagnosed adhd. I think the fatigue and exhaustion of ME makes it harder to compensate/mask the chaos, pre-ME I was doing more that twice as much work as a regular person to produce the same outcome (I.e turning up in clean clothes, knowing what was going on and where I needed to...

    BBC Claims That Brain Retraining Can Alter MRI Scans

    They even said on the film that there are fluctuations at different times though. Also stress makes the amygdala bigger and mediatation made it smaller but she didn’t think she was stressed at all to start with. Why does everything have to be a binary opposition and a quid pro quo.

    Open UK BACME tube feeding survey 2025, closes 30th September 2025

    I hate this “get out of jail card” every long rambling survey has adopted “We realise this may be difficult/draining for people to complete, but” Aka …we can’t be bothered designing something with you in mind, so here’s the usual old nonsense, don’t accuse us of not caring

    Opinion Nociplastic pain: controversy of the concept

    Schrödinger’s illness. There’s an illness in the human somewhere, but if we look into it we might find out the cause.

    UK: Disability benefits (UC, ESA and PIP) - news and updates 2024 and 2025

    What’s worse is the DWP is the biggest source of employees taking their employer to a tribunal for disability discrimination. They would happily employ you, mistreat you, fire you for your absence then refuse you disability benefits without a hint of irony.

    UK: Disability benefits (UC, ESA and PIP) - news and updates 2024 and 2025

    Well you can type, cant you? I can only assume they wish to save money by cutting people off for no reason then making them go through months of appeals, whilst becoming unwell and homeless, on the off chance they get benefits reinstated at a later date.

    UK: Disability benefits (UC, ESA and PIP) - news and updates 2024 and 2025

    Saw this and am immediately worried again. They want to -initially voluntary- have regular contact with LCWRA to do skills and preparing for work https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/dwp-start-contacting-those-sickness-35941629

    Growing old versus ME/CFS—which is which?

    I feel I need to read up on aging to see which advice I’m getting from physios etc one told me to stay in bed until I can sit upright with feet on the floor. I think that’s “old person” advice

    Ozempic and other GLP-1RAs - impact on ME/CFS

    I think it relates to the “immediate reward/dopamine hit” parts of the brain, so not likely to help for pacing. Pacing is more “stick” than “carrot” in the carrot or the stick motivator analogy. I’d go and cheer myself up with a chocolate but I’m not bothered about them any more.

    Very mild or prodromal ME/CFS

    I just recall starting to go to the cafe for toast mid morning at work (we had a canteen so it was allowed, but not something I ever wanted or needed to do before, usually just had an apple) then travelling home one night I was desperate for a croissant. I thought I would treat myself, it was...
