I agree, ordinary ME/CFS malaise (which I get every day) is very different to 'poisoned'. I get nausea regularly, but it's not the same thing...
I think that's well worth doing. I'e always assumed it's to do with severity, since the only times I've physically needed to lie down during the...
I eat a lot of vegetables for the same reasons as @Hoopoe (plus I can't eat potatoes), and find exactly this. I can be painfully full from my...
I can't work out why is this thought to be news. I mean...why would anybody even bother to read to the end of the first sentence of an article,...
A bit hard to know, really. My threshold was low, the effects began quickly, and I don't drink quickly. With jenever, gin, or malt whiskey I...
I'd be really interested to know too, as I've never known it triggered by anything I've eaten or drunk. But if it is sometimes a consequence of...
Not quite, at least not for me. Have you ever had to take a medication or been somewhere heavily polluted by smoke, so that it felt as if the...
Yep. Also completely unethical to describe CBT as treatment for ME/CFS, for that matter.
It is interesting, but I wonder if long summer breaks in schools and universities have something to do with the reduced number of referrals?...
Yes, I think so. To me, the overarching impression is that it's something that shouldn't be there, and that's why 'poisoned' seems to describe it....
I don't think it's necessarily linked to alcohol at all, so it may need a separate discussion. It's a feature of PEM for some people, and severe...
The self-resolving nature doesn't seem to be covered nearly well enough in discussions like this. It's one of the areas doctors could talk about...
I once had a long discussion about this with someone who got ill a bit later in life than I did, and he said the closest thing from his preME/CFS...
It might also explain why I flush with even small amounts of alcohol. The sensation of heat isn't as severe as that I got during menopause, but...
I find it hard to answer, partly because different infections come with different patterns, and partly because it tends to change during the...
I start feeling ill within minutes of starting to drink alcohol. Nausea, headache, dizziness, heavy fatigue, generally snappy and feeling...
I just meant it's fairly common in conditions like migraine, 'flu, hangovers, etc. The level of sensitivity will vary, but most adults can...
Do you think continuing to explore some of the symptoms that aren't typical of acute illness could be useful? What struck me about discussions of...
No, not at all. The quality of sound and colour are noticeably different depending on which side is covered, but I think that's just decrepitude....
Speaking personally—and I only know two other people with ME/CFS, but it's been a lot of decades and we've covered numerous British cities and...
Separate names with a comma.
