This. I don't trust any health professional who doesn't grasp it very quickly. Why doesn't anyone in the health service understand that patient...
Yes, I'd prefer this. It's a shame that you can't just credit the vouchers to your Paypal account, which would mean you could spend them almost...
I just don't worry about it. If I'm still awake after a couple of hours, I get up and do something – pick up a book, put the World Service on,...
I've been doing this one since April. I've found the central contact team a bit hit and miss, but once you're actually allocated your health...
Thought this might be of interest to UK folk who live in or visit rural areas where ticks are common: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53613459...
I agree, once the design assets are ready, it will be easier to circulate the news outside of social media or personal contacts. In situations...
This is the only type of PEM sweating I get. Exactly the same – head, neck, chest, and upper back, but completely dry from the armpits downwards....

Sigh. Who's volunteering to explain that 'highly protective sunscreen' didn't exist in the 1960s and 70s, and the redheads among us have the skin...
I wonder if 'embarrassed' is a polite word for 'absolutely bloody furious'?
Indeed – there's also the possibility that it starts as a low level post-viral syndrome in some, which is why I'm so concerned about post-Covid...
My onset was quite gradual too, though it took me a bit longer to discover ME (23 years!). I'd never heard of it until a GP at my practice...
An argument that I think still has a lot going for it, as long as people are given appropriate pacing advice from Day 1 and understand that it's...
I do know some, but one in particular got glandular fever in her late 40s. After seven months she was referred to a CFS service, as she just...
And indeed, 'cause' is distinct from 'trigger'. Arguably we still don't know the biological cause of the symptoms, even though a proportion of us...
