I’ve had long periods where it feels like my body is shutting down. But again it’s one of those things medical professionals don’t respond well to hearing. There’s probably a whole language of these terms we have been taught not to use by negative reinforcement.
It depends, I use paracetamol and ibuprofen for different sorts of pain… One works better than the other in some circumstances. Would this sort of mixed usage mean a no in the context of this survey?

Not an easy read but hopefully it will surprise and perhaps shame a few outside of the community into taking notice.
For a long time my sleep wasn’t too bad in terms of length except during periods of PEM/crashes. And I could sleep or even have a nap and feel ‘better for it’ but not ‘better’ if you see what I mean? Over recent years things fell apart after a particularly big trigger and I used and had very...
On snakes and ladders, another way I’ve sometimes described it is this…
It’s like trying to cross a road while wearing a blindfold and ear muffs. You may make it across but you may well get hit by a car.
I think it describes both the potential impact but also the lack of reliable information...
I’m through the document but not the thread so apologies. But a few notes I made this week:

I have not found any physio support helpful for the reasons you can imagine. But I remain hopeful physios can help those of us with limited mobility in the future.
Thankfully no issues with bed sores, but I am able to move around a bit except when at my worst. Lots of other issues which some...
I dug into this more as it mentioned changes in creatine kinase and that’s been mentioned in other studies. But if I’m looking at the data correctly both groups seem to show changes here over time (from week 2 to week 8) more significant than between placebo and treatment groups?
As @Andy and...
