Dr. David Bell The third stage is characterized by mild, gradual improvement over years, and along with the patient’s adjustment to the symptoms; activity is regulated and improves. During this time, the patient looks well, and to casual observers, it seems that a recovery has taken place. Some...

@Wyva I hope at year 7 there is still a good chance for improvements for you again. I think the early years might be indicators that there is a chance of improvements for some pwME? I was on the up and up after 3rd year too with small declines in between, by year 5.5 I felt 90%...

Impact of Vaccination on Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Patients With COVID-19 Infection SARS-CoV-2 infection increases the risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and long-term cardiovascular sequelae after recovery.1 However, the association of vaccination on cardiovascular...

Could they be referring to those with PVFS during onset? It can take 5-6 years on average for some pwME to stabilize, but PEM has always been severe in my case.

Abstract Background: Supine hypertension affects most patients with orthostatic hypotension (OH) due to autonomic failure, but it is often untreated for fear of worsening OH. We hypothesized that increasing intrathoracic pressure with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) had a...

Your internal medicine doc sounds a lot like the Integrative Functional MD I was seeing in early 2000. He didn't rec any type of exercise though. The internal medicine doctor I saw in 1992 acknowledged CFS as well, but he no longer believed that it lasted more than 10 years.

Key Points Question Do postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 increase risks of 1-year adverse outcomes? Findings In this case-control study of 13 435 US adults with post–COVID-19 condition (PCC) and 26 870 matched adults without COVID-19, the adults with PCC experienced increased risks for a...

Upright and lying down interviews between pts would be interesting.

thread:

Is this done to induce PEM before imaging?

Hope sounds more realistic than cure which is what they were promoting a few years ago.

I would describe my PEM movements similar to ataxia with less power in my arms and legs and balance problems. I walk into people. I slur and have difficulty processing information.

@josepdelafuente please let me know if I'm 'taking over' your thread and I'll have my posts moved where appropriate.

What about taking Plaxlovid to ameliorate symptoms faster rather than suffering for the next week +? What is the risk vs benefit of taking an antiviral? I'm in the M.E subgroup that gets reactivation of viruses every 2-3 yrs and my GP has never given me a script for antivirals when it could...

Thanks for including the list b/c if I ever become ill with a + Covid test, I'm going to answer 'yes' to all those questions asked, whether it's true or not. My M.E onset 32 years ago was sudden/viral and I was never given any antiviral treatment. I always wondered if I was treated early...

Now I'm beginning to wonder if they only prescribe Plavlovid to certain groups in Canada too?

Ok, thanks for explaining. I will go back to my original question to @josepdelafuente. How do they know for sure who will develop acute Covid symptoms? Do they have a crystal ball? It's my understanding from reading tweets from critical care nurses, emergency room doctors et that...

Isn't that discrimination? Boy, I'd have something to say about this if this happened here :mad:
