    Fantastic redesign of hot water bottle for pain relief

    I have - the elastic bits round legs are too tight for me. :cry: Likewise John Lewis. I keep them in my drawers (as in chest of, rather than knickers!) for emergency use only. What I'd like is the old fashioned french knickers that were made a little like the old fashioned games shorts I had in...

    Fantastic redesign of hot water bottle for pain relief

    Well good luck with that! I've been looking for years for high-waisted knickers. Haven't managed to find anything that comes up as far as my waist. It's all thongs or hipsters or any weird combination you can think of. I've searched "Granny knickers" :oops: and even that didn't bring up anything...

    Activity baseline vs activity ceiling, why concepts and language matter

    The very first sentence I said about my "condition" on my PIP face to face assessment (DLA to PIP at age 67) was "I have no stamina". The assessor wrote on her "recommendations" "She says she has stamina". I complained to Atos, as they were then, with a copy to my MP. Not the only thing I...

    Induced coma

    It used to be standard treatment for something years ago - maybe pre-WW1? Can't remember what. My brain went walkabout, it might come back to me 3am-ish ;) Sorry this isn't much help! :rolleyes: Other than to say it has been done before for something.

    BBC article about vagus nerve stimulation study

    Small (N=29) pilot study. Sounds like a load of B*ll**ks to me. I think this reporting from the BBC is premature and poor. But what else do you expect from them these days. Grrr. ETA thanks for putting the link up @NelliePledge.

    Possible Source of Post-Lyme Complications Is Revealed

    Thanks ever so much @duncan, I'm really not up to it at present, but I've bookmarked and hope to get back. I may be gone for some time, as family (Kids) including the dreaded ;) Grandkids ;) are arriving tomorrow... :) Limits time on internet a bit, but it's the sensory envelopment that really...

    Possible Source of Post-Lyme Complications Is Revealed

    The Lyme Disease active agent is a spirochaete, as is Syphilis. Which is well known for hiding for years (post initial infection) and then becoming active again bringing ruin, insanity and death (at least in historical times!). And it's another of the great medical imitators, showing lots of...

    Review: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation and therapeutic inhibitors, 2019, Kerr

    Is there any proof that psychological stress weakens "cellular immunity" hence causing reactivation of EBV? Edited for spelling.

    Open The NIH Intramural Post-Infectious ME/CFS Study: A Patient-Study Participant Perspective (from the e-newsletter of the Solve ME/CFS Initiative)

    Gosh, reading that patient story really shows up how deplorable attitudes to ME are in UK! I can't imagine the usual suspects being so kind, helpful and caring!

    The ME Patient Foundation

    Well that's enough to put me off (though I have joined their email list) as I'm afraid I think a lot of Dr M's stuff is a way of cashing in on desperate patients.

    Monitoring treatment harm in [ME/CFS]: A freedom-of-information study of National Health Service specialist, 2019, McPhee et al

    Nothing much is happening in UK Parliament at the moment, it's all Brexit and waiting for new Tory leader to be chosen who will be PM. Plus they're about to go off on their summer hols even though leaving the country in crisis. I think Carol Monaghan's constituents are in touch with her, and UK...

    Malaria and Lyme Disease The Largest Vector-Borne US Epidemics in the Last 100 Years...J. Benach et al

    Interesting article. I'd love to see someone do something similar about ticks and Lyme disease burden in UK! I was very interested in the approach to malaria via mosquito control. Currently there are more mosquito species spreading in Europe, that carry some rather nasty diseases. The tiger...
