I hope you all get through the coming winter well. I managed to not get a cold/flu or Covid during our NZ winter and I have been going out nearly...
I've haven't any medical experience but I think this is what has happened too. I think I have even had two different reactions after two...
Yes, I notice a difference at moderate ME now, my PEM is not as extreme so I understand what you are saying here. At very severe levels of ME you...
I'd be really interested to hear other MEs experience of very severe ME and if they can distinguish between a crash and PEM. I just can't seem to...
That's amazing to me that you call a crash worse than PEM. For me PEM is the worst that ME can get. It wasn't until very severe ME that I really...
Interesting question. I've never distinguished a difference, PEM has always been PEM to me and a crash to me is a different name for the same...
Is this the longest we have gone without another severe new Covid variant? I think it has been over a year since omicron began. Edit: just...
It's been a couple of days since my 4th dose Covid vaccine and nothing really to report. Just the usual sore arm . Out of all the doses so far...
@JemPD I'm in New Zealand. I'll link to a page that has information on second boosters for New Zealanders. Just scroll down to the 'Second...
It's been six months since my 1st Covid Pfizer booster shot so I decided to see if I could do a walk in at my local pharmacy today. No problems,...
@Milo @MeSci @Mij @Wonko @DokaGirl Thanks. After reading your experiences I think I must have been experiencing lactic acid build up. Most likely...
It only happened to me when walking up a hill. Also I only experienced this in my early years of ME (25 years ago) when I didn't know I had ME and...
In my severest years I couldn't find any acceptance, there was too much force imposed by the ME at extreme levels. It took many many years to...
God bless half the planet with a cervix! and bless the other half too. :angel:
I thought any kind of muscle tissue could be used/made use of for research no matter what part of the body. I wouldn't expect women to go...
I had a scraping of cervix tissue a couple of years ago and will be undergoing another op in September for more extensive biopsy of cervix canal....
I've never associated 'forget me nots' with death. I have always felt that it represented quite well how PwME can be so ill and hidden away in...
You bring back memories of how it was for me in my early years of ME when I didn't know I had ME.
When I describe how terrible PEM can be at very severe and the higher end of severe I am not exaggerating. Thank you for acknowledging that you do...
When I look back at my early years of ME when I didn't know it was ME, I am often puzzled at how I managed to work full time. I knew something was...
