What I find odd is that there are two other females I have known for over 30 years. Both of them struggle with all sorts of allergies much worse...
Yep, I have a history of migraines and IBS that predate ME. Neither of which were noticeably made worse by stress though other triggers were...
And preferably not making them worse, just for a change.
Me too. When the subject of "tiredness" comes up I usual reply with I don't feel tired, I feel like I have the worst hangover imaginable, I feel...
I am all too familiar with being very easily burnt as well. Never tan just burn. Sunburn itself doesn't provoke the flu like symptoms, nausea...
It's usual the left side of the neck that hurts 1st but it can be both sides. Oddly it's usually my right armpit that hurts first but it can be...

I like to fill the space up. Depending on the space n/a is a good answer, other favourites are "ambiguous - do you mean xxxx or yyyyy?" , along...
You see, I may be wrong but I think in PACE that point is moot. Presumably all trial participants, including the so called control arm, had...
