It's so insulting and upsetting to those who lost loved ones to this virus.

Remember when we infected every child with Polio and achieved herd immunity? No? Me neither.

We have to wait and see if this illness is a relapsing/remitting type after 'recovering' from the initial virus. It can take months and even a few years to get the full picture. I was fooled into thinking I recovered after 9 months. I returned to work and normal non stressful activities...

@Jaybee00 Did you have tests done to qualify for a trial of low dose Abilify? Or was it based on having certain symptoms?

Britt Hermes, writer, scientist and a former naturopathic doctor, discusses the pseudoscience of naturopathy:

I can't get my printer to scan atm, so I took pic with my phone but it's too blurry. The markers in the "Energy Production" panel that are below range are: Citrate 263 (ref range 400-2000) Isocitrate 37 (ref range 50-300) 2-Ketoglutarate 1 (ref range 5-80) Oxaloacetate 337 (ref range...

@MeSci no I'm trying to print out my results and post them here.

I feel out of breath, shaky and my heart races when I'm dealing with an immune response. I don't have difficulty breathing. Low ferritin, I feel out of breath and dizzy, but my heart doesn't race.

I've had periods when I feel out of breath from doing very little. So for me it is not PEM related unless I'm in a severe PEM state and have all the other symptoms to go with it. Over the years breathlessness was caused by several factors, below normal ferritin (5), low magnesium...

The autonomic nervous system regulates the function of the body’s internal organs, such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and body temperature. People with an autonomic disorder have trouble regulating one or more of these systems, which can result in fainting, lightheadedness...

A doctor on CNN this morning was discussing "VIP syndrome": a “VIP syndrome” has been recognized. It occurs when a very important person (VIP) is admitted to a health care facility and the status of that person affects decisions about medical care.

I'm listening to all the treatments that Donald Trump received, and how he has 'recovered' so far. He received an experimental antibody IV cocktail, antiviral and steroid medication all within 2 days. Wow. I wonder if I was given an antiviral early on during my onset whether I would...

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Isoprinosine Studies Few studies have assessed Isoprinosine’s effectiveness in ME/CFS. After a small single blind, placebo-controlled trial of 16 patients in 1999 Dr.Hyde’s published study (2003) indicated that 6/10 patients improved and that their natural...

@butter. Immunovir. Dr. Hyde and the Virologist who prescribed it for me did a small 6 wk study on CFS patients, the results showed that it increased NK cells and the patients felt less 'fatigued'. I literally couldn't walk for 3 months after taking it for only 3 weeks.

An astounding thing is that the dosage for trazodone to treat depression is a maximum of 600 mg/day. I take 25 mg for sleep, it puts me out within 20 minutes for 5 1/2 hours of solid sleep. I took 50mg max once and I was dizzy for a week What would happen if I took 150 mg, 400 mg or...

@Marky I agree with some of what you're saying, but I was given a medication for ME that made me a lot worse 18 years ago, so now I'm very cautious. I was warned by an ME doctor many years ago not to 'experiment' with ME, because when we have a relapse, it lowers our baseline...

When I asked my GP and pharmacist why I was given a very low dose antidepressant (trazodone) for sleep, they explained that they didn't know how it worked and said "it's a big pot of stew, we throw something into it and it works". Using drugs in lower doses to treat unrelated issues is...

CSF leak in a women's brain from a COVID test. Could this be caused from a pre existing condition? Encephalocele?

Psychology ties faith healing to a placebo effect. One simply expects to get better? This can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy, and can have a strong correlation between belief and something happening.
