Does anyone have a transcript of this video? I have trouble watching video and absorbing the information. If there were subtitles then I could read while watching and that would help. But I have not found a version with captions. By the way, I wish there were captions for all videos...

All dogs are good dogs but @Webdog is amazing! :trophy@:thumbup:

I missed this article when it first came out. Like others on this thread I also thought this was a good general article for people who don't keep up with ME/cfs research. I've discussed the CPET with some folks (mostly non-patients but also a couple of ME patients) and I think this is a good...

That's a good question. There are so many tests that I have never had done but I did have a muscle biopsy pretty early in my illness (mid to late 1991, don't remember exact date). The biospy of my right thigh (punch biopsy, I think?) showed some sort of minor abnormality. But it was one of...

I saw this on the Medscape website today. I think it's just a summary of recent changes posted on CDC website but I'm not sure. Full article (may require Medscape registration/login) - https://reference.medscape.com/viewarticle/900291_5

Woo hoo! :thumbup::trophy@

For @Little Bluestem ( and anyone else who can't join in on Aug. 8th ) there's a note on the website saying you can do it any day in August: "We'd like you to join us in taking part on 8th August, but feel free to do it any day in August." It's easy to miss that info. You have to scroll down...

I thought this was in interesting article so I thought I'd share it here: https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2018/07/25/the-challenge-of-chronic-lyme/ PS. I'm not looking for a debate on Lyme. Please don't ask me any questions. I don't know enough about it.

I'm in the USA and I was able to watch the video. I didn't watch the whole thing, though.

This youtube video is still photos with captions printed on them and some background music. I'm pretty sure this video is not the news story that was mentioned earlier in this thread....but since the video has the same title I can understand the confusion. I went to this link...

I don't think you are necessarily weak just because you thought a doctor's training schedule was too grueling. I would never want to do that type of schedule, either! But some folks might be energized by that type of environment and enjoy the adrenaline rush. Different careers draw different...

Oh my goodness. (trying to keep my language clean) Sheesh! When I first got ill I had trouble walking across the room. I am still unable to stand long enough to take a shower due orthostatic intolerance. If I just had a level of "fitness" that would match your average couch potato (work at a...

This is not even theoretical on my part. As a software engineer there were definitely periods when I worked 12 hour shifts for many months in a row. Plus extra time on the weekend. I'm not recommending this kind of work schedule! I had a terrible work/life balance in my early twenties. But I...

I didn't feel bad about voting. I have not seen all the films but I have seen several - I think 5? I do record Independent Lens on my DVR regularly. Then I look at the description of the program, maybe watch a few minutes, and decide whether I want to watch the whole thing. My impression is...

True. I absolutely don't regret voting only for Unrest. I just thought it was funny that I was so excited that I missed those instructions completely!

I was so excited to vote that I only voted for Unrest. I just now noticed that you can vote for up to three movies, LOL!

Wow, I just voted and Unrest was in the lead with 713 votes. Second place was I Am Not Your Negro with 54 votes (which is also a great film, by the way!).

Sadly, if a long term disability (LTD) policy falls under ERISA law (and that includes most LTD policies that are provided by an employer) then the insurance company is protected from ever having to pay any damages. They don't even have to pay any interest even if it has taken 3-4 years before...

This is HUGE. For those outside the USA, the ERISA laws, at least the parts covering long term disability (LTD) insurance, are really messed up. So many folks with ME (and many other chronic illnesses) have been denied claims over the years. Getting an ERISA LTD claim approved is A LOT HARDER...

OMG, @Alvin - I just saw your "air mouse" and I can't stop laughing! :laugh::rofl::laugh::rofl:
