    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    How long do you think it's effectiveness remains? - what I mean is can you wipe stuff, put it back in it's pot & use it again later? or does it need to be a freshly steeped cloth every time? And would that be the same for 70% isopropyl alcohol?

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    just FYI about the hand sanitiser. They are still selling isopropyl alcohol on amazon £14 a 500ml bottle though.

    Noise cancelling headphones! Oh Joy! (and other ways to block sound)

    thanks @shak8 it's the Bose 700 I'm looking at & the button is on the back of the right headphone... I guess the only way is to try it. good to know they stay pput on a pillow though. it's privatey owned houses so no landlord help, & in any case they wont need to be being 'loud' by normal...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    Oh no doubt he will be consulting on the mass panic etc. I was thinking the other day that those who may get ME after corona will be in an even worse position, with all the BS psychologising ...'you think it was more serious than it really was' type nonsense.

    Daily Mail: EXCLUSIVE: Barely able to leave the house, told they are exaggerating and even that their ailment does not exist: Three ME patients reveal

    So disingenuous, knows perfectly well that the protocol for CBT for ME/CFS is significantly different than for RA/MS. No one tells an MS patient that there is nothing biologically/organically wrong with them other than deconditioning. CBT for ME is often simply gaslighting (albeit...

    Coronavirus: Advice from ME organisations

    Hi Kitty, yeah i'm not going. I can postpone to next year at no extra charge so i'm doing that. I cant be doing with the hassle & extra precautions. I'm mainly housebound so I would be having 4 different people come in & stay with me in my cabin (it's a cabin in the forest on a site with 82...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    Thanks for that @Sarah. does anyone know if it can (or would be likely to) survive freezing - ie on the surface of a bag of peas in my home freezer. - lol it's just to settle an 'argument' between myself & someone else about the fact that the delivery driver often touches the frozen items when...

    Coronavirus: Advice from ME organisations

    @Jonathan Edwards I wonder if you have any sense of how long it might take, (if it is not contained & turns into serious pandemic) for it to turn into a situation of self isolating or enforced isolation? I ask because I have booked a stay in a log cabin at the beginning of June (it's a site with...

    I do all these routinely anyway, have done since I was educated 5yrs ago when my mum was having chemo. Thanks for the tip about stocking up though - I hadn't thought of that. It will be tins of stuff for me as I cant cook but am going over to beef up my groceries delivery now. ETA @Jonathan...

    New MEA Guide: ME/CFS The Ten Key Aspects of Management | 05 February 2020

    The photo is inappropriate. No photo at all would be better than one suggesting that we are all fine. Why do they have to have a daft photo anyway?! I thought that was what the 'real photo' campaign was all about? I agree. I find it so offensive that unless they change that I wont be renewing...

    Using adrenalin/epinephrine as a crutch ?

    Given how spectacular the temporary improvement is when I am 'adrenalined-up' due to anxiety or whatever, people regularly suggest to me that perhaps taking a low dose of it might help me. But they rarely see the price I have to pay for the extra I inevitably do when I am in that state. It's not...
