I worry about this a little because people with severe ME don't tolerate travel well. If doctors are understanding, it's better to care for them...
Your observations are spot-on I think.
It makes some sense, if we call LC anything that lingers more than a few weeks, then chronic LC (or long long Covid, heh) is when it lasts long...
I have a set of Earpeace earplugs. I don't use them for sensitivity to ordinary sound but to loud noise. But they work well and have inserts so...
The authors of this paper simply don't understand the nature of long Covid or chronic illness in general. People expect certain outcomes from...
This has all the tropes of bad 2010s era autism reporting. Autistic people aren't withdrawn into their own inner world, they just have a...
Quite fascinating. They seem to be going in the same direction as Jared Younger--thinking a cause is neuroinflammation triggered by ordinary...
Just a couple weeks ago I spent the whole day running errands. My last stop was at the grocery store. I was so tired I started putting stuff in my...
I thought of it a bit differently. If you believe autistic people are more likely to have FND, then doctors will just say "You're not sick, just...
The old "You're simultaneously a mentally frail malinger and an overachieving perfectionist"
ME/CFS is one of the factors that forced me into being alone and celibate. It's good that researchers are recognizing the effect of systemic...
Yeah, a disease state means you know something about the pathology. We still know rather little about what causes different manifestations of long...
Since long Covid is now any health problem caused by Covid, it seems long Covid is more of a cause than disease. A category of illness rather than...
Yes. I was worried but I'd have been a lot more worried if I hadn't had migraines with aura before.
One time I was having either a migraine or a stroke. Not only was I getting the characteristic visual aura, I was having trouble speaking and my...
The mainstream view is that autism is a pathological condition and should be treated. The autistic advocate view is that autism is a normal state...
They're very misinformed. Long Covid is a huge spectrum and symptoms can range from annoying to debilitating. ME (at least by IOM criteria) has a...
I agree with you strongly. Most disabling or most burdensome symptoms would be better. Medicine has a long history of dismissing post-infectious...
I wonder if it could help symptoms if someone has orthostatic hypotension. But obviously raising blood pressure willy nilly is a bad idea.
That's somewhat sad. I'm anticipating your results because I'm hopeful we'll learn a lot from them. It might be the second major event in ME/CFS...
