Just a quote from an article I saw earlier this year. The article was based on an interview with Professor Tamás Horváth, a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine whose main interest is neuroscience. He is Hungarian but he has been working at Yale since the fall of communism. This is what he said...

Those GPs may indeed be wrong then, because there is nothing unusual about not having a fever with a cold, for example. Here, some images from the CDC and the Cleveland Clinic, where the symptom fever is called rare or is absent for the common cold. From what I understand, in the case of some...

I have sound sensitivity, I don't have light sensitivity. The sound sensitivity is not one-sided in my case.

I gave up drinking alcohol due to my symptoms. I used to drink wine sometimes before I fell ill, sometimes cocktails, all socially. Now even one glass of wine would be a challenge because it makes me feel ill, with symptoms appearing rapidly (not after finishing the drink). It is not so easy to...

Sorry for the long reply in advance! Bolded the most relevant part of my answer. I do get a lot of swelling. This was actually one of my first symptoms and it started so rapidly (one evening my stomach area just started to quickly swell) that I ran to the emergency because it was so weird. I...

I was the opposite. Before my ME/CFS, I was very rarely ill. Of course influenza affected me when I got it twice as it is normally much worse than having a cold. But whenever I got a cold, it was just a tiny blip on my radar, I kept living my life like nothing was happening, it affected me so...

CS has posted the Clare Wilson article on the MEA FB page, without any further comment. I saw it early in the morning, so just skimmed through the comments from the community but a lot of them agreed with the article and were supportive of Miranda Hart and her book. (Eg I agree, it is Miranda's...

She probably is. This is what you can read about her at the end of the iNews article: "Clare Wilson is science writer at the i paper. She was previously a reporter for New Scientist, specialising in medicine and life sciences"

This may be due to geoblocking. Is this an American website? Are you in Europe @Dolphin ? Some American websites decided to block every visitor from the EU, due to the EU's strict GDPR laws. They find it easier to block this area than to make their website GDPR compliant for people from the EU...

New article in the Guardian by George Monbiot mentioning Maeve - in this thread: https://www.s4me.info/threads/george-monbiot-on-me-cfs-pace-bps-and-long-covid.20126/page-18#post-559985

George Monbiot in the Guardian: Maeve Boothby O’Neill died because of a discredited view of ME. How was this allowed to happen? How could this happen in the 21st century? This question could apply to many issues, but this one sends you reeling. A brilliant and lively young woman with a common...

I agree with some other comments above that this largely depends on what kind of infection you have. I'm not sure it is a good idea to try to quantify this in percentages. Most often people will get the common cold probably (at least up to the past few years), which doesn't induce fever so much...

I have no idea if it is common or not. I had no fever at all during glandular fever (which was my trigger), even though I had a whole range of other symptoms, including some less common ones, like the swollen eyelids that even obscured my vision one morning. My lymph nodes were so swollen that...
