I haven't developed any problems with my eyesight over most of my 18/19 years with ME, until very recently (apart from the usual deterioration that comes with growing old, but actually benefits people who are short-sighted). But then, my testosterone has dropped a lot. So until I get that...

My wife had a couple of these a while back, and they gave her a lot of trouble/infection/inflammation. Eventually she had to have them removed. The dentist at the time was a highly respected and caring one, and he said that he had been reading up a lot about them as a result of her troubles, and...

I am, @Wonko , a mere mortal when it comes to the mysteries of modern technology. I was there when we strung out pebbles outside the cave to send a message in binary to friends from the other side of the valley. I was there when computers made of valves came in and solved the problem of cold...

Both my son and I have tried various exclusion diets over the many years, but nothing has been effective. We do eat healthily, in the general sense. Giving up chocolate was probably the most heart-breaking (don't get the wrong idea though - we only eat a square of the really dark chocolate each...

I'll remember that tip, Jan about leaving washing and drying my hair. It's not so much the washing and drying that's the problem, but the search and number process is quite energy intensive.

I think your calculations and examples would pretty much mine if I were to try them, Trish, except that my resting heart rate has always been 75+, even when I was ridiculously fit.
