The amount of rest that is required for a ME patient. At severe there is not enough rest in a day. At moderate you need to rest most of the day...
I hope you feel better very soon @shak8 It does sound like you have flu with the muscle aches. I can only recall ever having one flu and it was a...
In a way if I am going to catch this illness I think I would rather catch it now while we are having summer temperatures in the late 20's C (over...
I had sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, feverish head about two weeks ago. It was like a cold where for a day or two when you bend over the nose...
