    Yes, he was also invited to the long covid symposium of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences last year and I wrote about what he said here. He conveniently twisted things the way it fit his narrative.

    Sleep Assessment in Long COVID Clinics: A Necessary Tool for Effective Management 2023 Khosla et al

    I think I'm still in that early stage when this happens for some people. I remember someone with the same early hypersomnia mentioned on this forum that for him it turned into insomnia after about ten years. It is weird hearing about these experiences. A bit like sitting on death row not knowing...

    Renaming the disease: who calls the shots?

    Do you know why this change happened? Here it is univerally called "sugar disease" by everyone, including doctors, even though the term diabetes exists. It is just a lot less common to hear it.

    Degree of improvement in ME

    I actually got much better in my second and third year (it was a very slow process) and I thought I was one of those people who eventually either recover or at least stabilize at a more manageable level. I was 90% back to normal. I still had my symptoms but they were very very mild, so I could...

    How can I wake up to long-playing birdsong or similar without a smartphone?

    Apps like Free Alarm Clock can wake it up from Sleep mode, so it doesn't need to actively run. Unless you want the laptop to be completely turned off.

    How can I wake up to long-playing birdsong or similar without a smartphone?

    Maybe you can do it with your laptop? When I was a student in the 2000s, I used my PC to wake me up. I'm sure you can set an alarm with the clock of your laptop, the question is whether it allows you to pick your own sound (or whether you find the available tunes nice enough). Worth a try though.

    News from Scandinavia

    I would hazard a guess that it gets positive reviews because it is actually quite similar in its presentation to Ruben Östlund movies like The Square or Triangle of Sadness (I know he is Swedish). It is quirky satire about the weirdness of modern society and this seems to be quite "in" now, as...

    News from Scandinavia

    I've just finished watching a Norwegian movie called Sick of Myself. It is a pretty recent satirical film. The main character is Signe, a very desperate young woman with extreme attention-seeking behaviour. This manifests in different ways: she often mentions how other people admire her for...

    Brainstem volume changes in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome and long COVID patients (Thapaliya et al, 2023)

    I don't know if this is the reason in my case but I've had breathing difficulties since the start of my disease, even though my triggering illness had zero respiratoy symptoms. The breathing difficulty (the feeling of not enough air coming in despite normal breathing) for me is unrelated to...

    Understanding the Behavioral and Medical Impact of Long COVID, 2023, Jason & Lapp

    Our first long covid clinic was set up at the University of Debrecen. And the doctor responsible for infectiology/rheumatology there published a book in 2021, titled "What is Worth Knowing About the Covid Infection and the Post-Covid Conditions". In 2021!)

    CNN: Zero-calorie sweetener (erythritol) linked to heart attack and stroke, study finds

    I'm not sure about the other sweeteners but I have some diabetic people in my family and when I baked/cooked for them, I used xylitol, as you can substitute sugar 1:1 with it, so baking with it is less complicated. And ugh, xylitol is also a biological weapon in larger amounts, ehehe. (Namely it...

    There is a worrying amount of fraud in medical research, 2023

    There is a worrying amount of fraud in medical research, 2023

    The post-infectious thing after EBV is not just 6 months of fatigue though. So if he based that on the lingering symptoms after EBV, he was wrong, he just simplified the symptoms as fatigue, the same way we see this going on even today. The definition was bad, it is not the fault of the...
