My sister gets dizziness from time to time from Hashimoto and has to take a day off work. She gets fatigue but can still work, but high impact aerobic exercise is hard for her. She experiences what she describes as 'brain fog', which is not at all close to what I experience with...

His behaviour is insulting and irresponsible, and does not reflect the experiences of pwME by making comments such as 'disarming'' ME/CFS. His dismissiveness towards pwME when they tried to explain their experiences says a lot about him.

This article was going well until . . . PG is making his 'mark', as you say n=1 everywhere. It's truly baffling. https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/what-we-know-and-dont-know-about-long-covid What bothers me more is that CFS (or ME) is linked to his name.

https://intracellresearchgroup.com/chlamydia-pneumoniae/ I watched a program 20 years ago where a Canadian doctor said they found chlamydia pneumoniae in Alzheimer's brains and that "it should not be there'. He also mentioned that Alzheimer's should be treated the same as heart disease.

@Tia I haven't had any jabs yet, but here in Canada (NACI) are recommending that people who received first dose AZ get the an mRNA (Pfizer or Moderna) for their second dose.

@Wyva On a positive note (?), sending you to different specialist can help r/o other illnesses? I was sent to many specialists and had tests and blood work done before being diagnoses.

My blood lactate levels were 'normal' the next day (and second day) when I was in PEM after exercise (running).

I have seen over a dozen doctors and specialists in my 30 years with ME, not one has ever advised or suggested I see a physio therapist. I was told to rest.

It gives a whole new meaning to getting 'the shot'.

They don't believe Covid exists and that they have the 'flu'. Several months ago I watched an interview with an ER doctor in the US who experienced this disbelief with his patients, they could no longer breathe and dying. He said that he has family members that no longer talk to him...

The justification for the lottery incentives up here is that it would save millions of dollars in hospital stays if more people get vaccinated. Emergency doctors are saying that the only sick/dying patients they're seeing now are unvaccinated patients, and many still don't believe they're...

Early on Canadians were happy with free Tim Horton coffees and ice cream offered at the vax centres, until we saw what you guys were giving away in the US. Suddenly we're feeling worthy of more.

The party is just getting started up here. I'm thinking I'll wait a little longer to get my vaccine . . . If the nurse calls to book my home visit, I might just be a little more reluctant.:whistle:

In the US they are offering incentives like million dollar lotteries, sports event tickets, new guns etc to convince the anti-vaxxers to get vaccinated. Canada is starting to do the same except for the gun giveaways. Some doctors are saying that this is not going to motivate anti-vaxxers.

The modern coinage is called 'ego-surfing'.

@Ariel I understand and relate to your situation. My GP strongly advises I get the vaccine even though I've been sick from a possible Covid exposure early last year. I think 99% of GP's will advise that you get the vaccine. I have not been vaccinated yet and cancelled my MRI...

My PEM has remained the same until I developed autonomic impairment years later.

@borko2100 There is a subgroup that don't have autonomic dysfunction, I didn't until 10 years into the illness after I had a relapse from reactivation of EBV and HHV6 at the same time. I also didn't experience PEM until years later. It does appear that autonomic issues plays a role in...
