It's a great idea in theory, but I couldn't manage that when I was really ill. I was only mild/moderate, too. I couldn't even sit up for more...
100% agree. It would be good, though, to have validation from people who know what they're doing when it comes to actimetry. Otherwise,...
Yes, possibly! The question was prompted by the thought that it might be possible to extract more useful information than we realise from...
I've just looked at the thread about @Simon M's excellent new blog article: and read @FMMM1's comment: It strikes me that if we are going to...
Do they keep long, @lunarainbows? I hopefully won't need them so much now I'm not killing myself trying to work, but part of the problem was...
