I think the deafening silence here may be linked to the fact that few of us have actually had any of these interactions in the last two years. I...
Only just seen this thread, and the original article is no longer available – oh, God, I'd no idea he was a Sheffielder. I'm so sorry, we're not...
AtW began in 1994, so it was pretty well established by the time I first applied in 1999 (I've used it three times). I needed an advocate as much...
I seem to have been a static magnet all my flipping life. I get really big shocks every time I touch metal if I'm insulated from the ground, and I...
I just meant comparing the fatigue to that of cancer and MS. It was really helpful when speaking to those I didn't work with directly, as people...
This can be a sticky one, but my feeling is that it's better to use examples that a range of people would understand, and not get too tied up with...
I agree – I actually think attending meetings in person is preferable, even though it involves travelling and making yourself presentable in ways...
Things that helped me: Having my overall salary reduced by one week's pay to give me an additional week's leave. It allowed me to use a 'half...
Fascinating! Thanks for posting it, @Colin.
Just seen Dr David Strain on BBC News 24, explaining why Long Covid is different to other fatigue syndromes such as CFS. Paraphrased:...
I don't think we can, at least in many cases. A lot of common viruses cause a fairly characteristic range of symptoms, but unless a patient is...

I think Dr Charles Shepherd of the UK's ME Association shares this lack of muscle pain with you. When researchers design surveys, it probably...
I forgot about this one. Mine is more my hands and feet, but they're always blue in the evenings. There might be a straightforward explanation,...
What a great idea for a thread. I'll start with major impacts that are not on my medical record, roughly in order of impact (might need to add to...
A bit of an aside, but when it comes to research on what happens in the body during activity and the resulting PEM, the need to ask everyone to do...
I think we need to take a cautious approach, though, since it's possible the broad phenomenon isn't even unique to people who go on to develop...
I'm guessing it probably depends on what they want to assess it for? To model it, predict it, investigate potential causes of it, think about...
It was flagged quite prominently by The Guardian when I logged on this morning, and ME was mentioned specifically, so people are taking notice...
I'm glad someone's continuing the work on microcirculation. It's one of those avenues that probably deserves to be looked at in more detail than...
