    Covid-19 vaccination experiences

    The tweets I read didn't say but I don't think I had access to the whole thread. I have appreciated those with ME sharing their response because I think our immune systems may differ from patients in the trials. I think I've been using 'immunosuppressed' and 'immunocompromised' interchangeably...

    UK Action for ME petition: 'Equity for ME' asking UK governments for equity of recognition and research funding with long Covid. closes 26th Nov 2021

    I agree the LC group are going to need to be careful about what 'treatments' are developed for their illness and that they are at risk from 'certain parties'. But currently I think they are recognised as being physically ill in the news media etc, examples being the number of prominent figures...

    UK Action for ME petition: 'Equity for ME' asking UK governments for equity of recognition and research funding with long Covid. closes 26th Nov 2021

    I have signed it on the grounds that the petition asks for the same level of research funding and recognition as long covid, not the same research. I don't think this will be sufficient funding but it is further on than we are now. I think the 'recognition' point is relevant because long covid...

    Thank you for posting this @Wyva,, particularly with such detail about side effects. I have had 2 AZ vaccines, have seroconverted but with very low antibody levels. My GP has told me that I will need the proposed booster and that it will be Pfizer. He has also now said he considers me...

    @yME I see Professor Mortimer and team at St.George's Hospital in south west London. Once diagnosed, there seems to be little treatment apart from compression garments, which involves being measured twice a year and fitted for compression. https://www.lipoedema.co.uk/membership/.

    Functional Neurological Disorder After SARS-CoV-2 Vaccines: Two Case Reports & Discussion of Potential Public Health Implications, 2021, Butler et al

    I wonder why people who have Pf vaccine have to remain for 15/30 minutes depending on the centre in order to pick up any adverse symptoms. I presume the symptoms that were picked up in the early days with a few people having Pf were different from the symptoms experienced by those in this...

    Covid-19 vaccination experiences

    Thanks for this @Snow Leopard. I have been reading a little about antibodies (nothing that is conclusive so I haven't kept the references) but there have been references to some people only producing a few antibodies with the clear implication that these these people are not as well protected as...
