    BBC article: Are Iranian schoolgirls being poisoned by toxic gas?, 2023 (quotes Wessely)

    And the person who tweeted this seems to be a psychiatrist himself (a forensic one).

    Degree of improvement in ME

    I actually got much better in my second and third year (it was a very slow process) and I thought I was one of those people who eventually either recover or at least stabilize at a more manageable level. I was 90% back to normal. I still had my symptoms but they were very very mild, so I could...

    How can I wake up to long-playing birdsong or similar without a smartphone?

    Apps like Free Alarm Clock can wake it up from Sleep mode, so it doesn't need to actively run. Unless you want the laptop to be completely turned off.

    How can I wake up to long-playing birdsong or similar without a smartphone?

    Maybe you can do it with your laptop? When I was a student in the 2000s, I used my PC to wake me up. I'm sure you can set an alarm with the clock of your laptop, the question is whether it allows you to pick your own sound (or whether you find the available tunes nice enough). Worth a try though.

    News from Scandinavia

    I would hazard a guess that it gets positive reviews because it is actually quite similar in its presentation to Ruben Östlund movies like The Square or Triangle of Sadness (I know he is Swedish). It is quirky satire about the weirdness of modern society and this seems to be quite "in" now, as...

    News from Scandinavia

    I've just finished watching a Norwegian movie called Sick of Myself. It is a pretty recent satirical film. The main character is Signe, a very desperate young woman with extreme attention-seeking behaviour. This manifests in different ways: she often mentions how other people admire her for...

    Brainstem volume changes in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome and long COVID patients (Thapaliya et al, 2023)

    I don't know if this is the reason in my case but I've had breathing difficulties since the start of my disease, even though my triggering illness had zero respiratoy symptoms. The breathing difficulty (the feeling of not enough air coming in despite normal breathing) for me is unrelated to...

    Understanding the Behavioral and Medical Impact of Long COVID, 2023, Jason & Lapp

    Our first long covid clinic was set up at the University of Debrecen. And the doctor responsible for infectiology/rheumatology there published a book in 2021, titled "What is Worth Knowing About the Covid Infection and the Post-Covid Conditions". In 2021!)

    CNN: Zero-calorie sweetener (erythritol) linked to heart attack and stroke, study finds

    I'm not sure about the other sweeteners but I have some diabetic people in my family and when I baked/cooked for them, I used xylitol, as you can substitute sugar 1:1 with it, so baking with it is less complicated. And ugh, xylitol is also a biological weapon in larger amounts, ehehe. (Namely it...

    There is a worrying amount of fraud in medical research, 2023

    There are some similar recoveries after other viral infections too though. I remember reading about some recoveries in post-influenza cases of ME/CFS. She is the one I remember in particular, as she is famous, a world champion...

    There is a worrying amount of fraud in medical research, 2023

    The post-infectious thing after EBV is not just 6 months of fatigue though. So if he based that on the lingering symptoms after EBV, he was wrong, he just simplified the symptoms as fatigue, the same way we see this going on even today. The definition was bad, it is not the fault of the...

    NHS treatments for people who get covid...?

    Not sure about your current symptoms but omicron gave me the worst sinusitis of my life. All my upper teeth hurt like crazy from the pressure (my head too of course but that was kind of expected) and my nasal discharge was just hard dry bits of deep red blood for days (not even a trace of other...

    Gait in ME/CFS

    In PEM I also feel slower. It feels a bit like moving in water, like there is some resistance. My body needs to work harder. However, I don't think an outside viewer would notice anything special about me. It is probably not pronounced enough for that in my case. But interestingly I can get...

    News from Southeastern Europe

    Posted today on Facebook by the Serbian ME/CFS page I follow (translated by Google): This was all, but I guess we'll probably find out more soon. (Don't ask me what "crisis of consciousness" exactly is. FB, Google Translate and ChatGPT all translated it the same way.)

    OpenAi's new ChatGPT

    Yes, I guess it hasn't seen a lot of joke websites here yet, so it is probably trying to come up with something based on the information currently available to it. Edit: I've actually asked ChatGPT itself about the jokes:

    OpenAi's new ChatGPT

    Btw, ChatGPT gives a different experience in different languages. To what extent exactly, I'm not sure. But I asked it to make jokes in both English and Hungarian and in English it was actually pretty funny, it seems to be a fan of wordplay. But in Hungarian I only got really weird attempts...

    I'm trying to catch up with things a bit. I didn't even really check Facebook when I was on my break for health reasons so I missed this very sad post from the Czech ME/CFS patient organization from August. Translation: Here is the Google translated version of their full announcement. If...
