Edit: (See above for the snippet. It didn't copy.) Spot on! That's exactly how it is for me, even down to the 10 minutes. It wasn't like that in the beginning for me though, just decades later. The occasions I need to lie flat have increased as the ME worsens. "The life force is not there and...

She'll be right , mate.

From the latest TWIV video: Describes the risk of transmission in a household setting from family members who have a)never had covid, b)had a previous infection only, c)had vaccination only or d)both infection and vaccination. 34.18 to 39:44 Would the reduced transmission be due to less viral...

From the latest TWIV episode: There's an interesting section about the very small reduction in protection when re-using the same N95 mask over 5 hospital shifts. 30:15 to 34:18

Yes. I should have said, the process of naming the thingies is laborious if you feel the need to bother. Mostly, what goes on in the land of thingy things can stay in the land of thingy things.

All the time! The process of coming up with the name of the thingy is incredibly laborious.

Waste of money for me too. It did nothing.

I've written here about my experience of remission after an anaesthetic. It happened only once and I've had a number of anaesthetics of various kinds. I've always assumed it was due to the specific drugs used.

Yes, the wind strength and direction can be against you at times. I cross my fingers and hope any particles still in the air by the time I start breathing are low enough in number or non-existent. Crossing the road is easy too.

Holding your breath and also noting the direction of the wind when walking past somebody outside are such simple and unobtrusive precautions.

@Dakota 15, all these posts are giving me (always cautious) hope for the first time for a long time. They give the impression that all sorts of people are looking at LC seriously and that momentum is building.

What a waste of time and money. I did a plank yesterday for a minute after years of not doing them because I read an article about how strength exercises are better than other types to ward off frailty which is thought to be a huge risk for dementia. Nothing to lose, I thought. I did nothing...

:laugh:

I deliberately keep away from shops and give other people a wide berth as much as possible on the rare occasions I have no choice about shopping. I wear a respirator mask always if I'm out and around people and only take it off at the dentist. No more coffee outings for the foreseeable future...

Thanks. A very interesting and level-headed talk indeed.

I was referring to the "Life is living in acceptance of all the mess and vulnerability and illness and tiredness and confusion" bit mostly. I’m quite ‘sorted’ actuallyo_O. I had just read the really good article, "Dear Miranda", by Long Covid Advocacy...

"But I have seen clearly that life is not to sort yourself out and wait for the time you are complete and ready. Life is living in acceptance of all the mess and vulnerability and illness and tiredness and confusion." This makes me feel such a failure. Like I'm being CBT'd at. If she had...

I wrote earlier that alcohol doesn't affect my ME symptoms although I can't drink as much anymore which I put down to aging. That's all true but to be specific, I only drink about 3 standard drinks of spirits per week on separate days. Wine worsens my headache and I have never drunk beer.
