The only moment I've ever enjoyed was in the early 70s, when my mum was doing the Christmas pudding in her huge Swan pressure cooker that I...
I'm always impressed when people aren't scared of pressure cookers! The hissing noise my mum's made always frightened me to death, and 50-odd...
Yes, that's true for me too – I have much more of a sense of energy, muscle power, and (occasionally) feeling of wellness right at the outset, and...
Again a personal account, but the measurable signs of being in PEM or just being a poor state generally include: Resting heart rate Goes up from...
When recruitment for the GWAS begins here in the UK, patients will presumably have the option to register a 'I've been diagnosed with ME but I...
