I think @Barry's right—worth checking out. I do get a very similar thing, but there are several causes that all result in quite similar symptoms:...
I'm not convinced anyone really knows, especially given the new variants that are going to keep popping up. My decision, given that I've never...
I know this is an OMF thread, but the emails I get are actually all from UK-based charities. The run-up to Christmas* is when our budgets are most...
It's not a great time of year to try and raise money from people who mostly don't have enough to manage in the first place, is it.
Patients don't pay directly in the UK—but the taxpayer does, of course. In the case of ME, we're often stumping up for services that are largely...
The pool is used for club training, so it's kept cool enough that you shudder when you first get in. It probably wouldn't make much difference, as...
Never tried it myself, but then again I can't even stand up in heat, let alone exercise! :laugh:
Its would be nice to think that the extraordinary way our community responded to the challenge will ripple out and change things for the future....

I think one of the problems is that whether it's a helpful way to do medicine or or not, a group of traditional specialisms does still exist. If...

I don't know if it helps, but my ECGs have all been done by nurses, so I don't always get subjected to the full-on health check from the GP! My...
I had my Pfizer booster two days ago. No sign of the lovely energy boost I got from my first AZ dose, but so far nothing negative either. I’d...
My parents said I was never the same again after measles. Although I didn’t have all the symptoms of ME until I was 17, I very clearly remember...
I might try and step aside a bit, and wonder why they're taking this line. One of the difficulties with pre-existing conditions is that insurers...
Interesting, thank you. Will take me a while to read them properly, but in the meantime I do wish somebody would offer me a health passport! I...
Yep.
I guess it's potentially different for every individual? ME's not that uncommon, so it wouldn't be surprising if people had that diagnosis in...
Separate names with a comma.
