Adequate accommodations would help as well.

This is blithely stupid. If someone asked me why I applied for disability, I'd say it's because I tried to work continuously for three years, in two career paths, and both ended in failure. I tried extremely hard, it's not like I didn't apply myself. And everyone needs some sort of income...

Doctors hate her! Local mother shares this one vegetable that cures ME

This is why ME needs to be called ME, SEID, or anything but CFS. No friends or family have ever dismissed me after saying I have myalgic enceophalomyelitis. When we choose the term ME, we're deliberately saying it's a serious disease, and it's not fatigue.

Or more likely, they have another virus.

My transcript for y'all Male anchor: And next, we're gonna continue our series on long Covid in children. And why so many are suffering long-term disability. More than 70,000 young people are affected in this country, and yet so little is known about what causes it and how to treat it. Female...

Oh, so this person had the deletion in only 36% of her cells?

He thinks diet, supplements, and getting enough sleep is going to do it.

Wow, she lost 13kb of her mtDNA; a healthy person has 16kb. I can't believe that's survivable. If before I saw this article, you asked me what would happen to someone who didn't inherit 80% of their mitochondrial DNA, I would have said they wouldn't even be born. How is this possible?

I knew you'd have a thorough response to this study. I didn't know you could pack it into two sentences.

When I met with him, he explained his poorly-written advice. He specifically said not to exercise to the point it gives you PEM, but that his (unevidenced) lifestyle regimen would expand your energy envelope and allow you to "pace up" and gradually return to exercise. And that Frodo Baggins is...

Retinal tissue and microvasculature loss in COVID-19 infection By Fritz Gerald P. Kalaw, Alexandra Warter, Melina Cavichini, Darren Knight, Alexandria Li, Daniel Deussen, Carlo Galang, Anna Heinke, Veronica Mendoza, Shyamanga Borooah, Sally L. Baxter, Dirk-Uwe Bartsch, Lingyun Cheng & William...

Transcribed. YouTube's auto-generated captions, but touched up. Male anchor: Now all this week we are highlighting the devastating effects long Covid is having on children. Young people have been left disabled, unable to attend school and many have struggled to access treatment on the NHS...

Here's a transcript of the update on the FMT trial. It's audio only. Announcer: ...7 minutes to 7:00 is the time. Could there be hope in a science park here in Norwich for people with ME? And too for other conditions such as long Covid, that seem mysterious and damaging and ill-understood...

Excellent work, Wyva. You hit on all the important points while keeping the article concise.

At least they avoid talking about psychomatic stuff.

If you've had an untreatable disease for 30 years, it would difficult to justify expecting to recover. It's odd they consider expecting to recover a good thing. As Trish pointed out, someone who expects to get better is likely to be disappointed or blame themself.

It never stopped the computer people.

This is all nonsense. When the find the smoking gun, like a chemical process that causes PEM, or when a drug for ME is discovered, the BPS model of ME and LC will disappear into the dustbin of history. The BPS scientists (I'm being a tad generous by calling them that) will scatter to another...

Finally, a paper on this!
