Some really quick responses in note form (sorry, I have to go out) to @Peter Trewhitt's useful list: I'd add pregnancy/childbirth to the lists of...
This is an important point, especially for people whose onset wasn't clear. I associate mine with EBV because I was definitely exposed to it by my...
It is annoying, but in this case it might just be that it's easier to explain it that way in a news article?
Especially as you can no longer rely so much on the solution they had in the 70s: handing out a prescription for extremely addictive...
True! This is why the research perhaps ought to be done separately. If evaluated protocols using inexpensive technology are available to...
It's a great idea in theory, but I couldn't manage that when I was really ill. I was only mild/moderate, too. I couldn't even sit up for more...
