In a news report just this past week, the CDC are saying that immunity starts to wane after 3 months. The Moderna efficacy is much higher than Pfizer and AZ.

I felt the same way a while back, but now I'm going for the third dose if offered b/c they will expire and go to waste here in Canada.

My dosage interval of Pfizer was only 28 days. I will be getting the booster in 6 months.

My dear friend took Xyrem for ME related insomnia, he did not do well on it. He experienced hallucinations.

Small movements for those who are able can be beneficial, simple ways to engage in low-grade, constant movement throughout the day, utilizing natural movement patterns like walking and bending to get the pot out of the lower drawer.

I'm actually quite amazed how members here can write long articulate posts. I can not write more than 2 small paragraphs. Question for those with cognitive PEM or cognitive impairment. Do you have a sore head/forehead when you are mentally drained? I can recover much quicker from...

Exactly. My brain actually shuts down when my heart races and breathing increases. I have to stop talking in order to preserve my physical energy so that I can continue the walk.
