    Well to be honest I made a sort of hit-and-run general post about the DM. I did not even read the original article. Sooooo maybe that was poor taste on my part

    Daily Mail article : Are you tired all the time? You could be ill

    That’s the daily fail; even more than a typical newspaper they are guaranteed to be wrong on any technical scientific mechanical electrical or biological subject. Maybe they get recipes and crosswords OK. Edit: this was more of a rant then thoughtful comment. I haven’t had the time or energy...

    Osteoporosis (bone loss)

    If free range meat, what quantity do you need to eat? I have to cut waaay back on the amount I eat, which doesn't leave much room for said meat. Would meat that's sold (well, if the seller is truthful) as grass-fed, grass finished qualify as free range?

    Brain fogginess, gas and bloating: a link between SIBO, probiotics and metabolic acidosis, Rao et al, 2018

    Yeah, when I’m in severe brain fog I often get scrawly handwriting at the same time. Not always though, it seems the brain fog comes first, and then as a crash progresses things like handwriting go out.

    WHO Endorses Traditional Chinese Medicine. Expect Deaths To Rise

    This seems to be a general pattern across many areas of culture in the West. It’s not neatly related to our disease or to medicine in general. I don’t understand quite what’s going on, it feels like a family business when the founder’s airhead but inheriting grandchildren take over.

    Turns out naps are not so bad for you. (New study, open access.)

    Perhaps this is why being away from my apartment seems to lead to a crash. Edit: There was not a place to lie down right there, it was some amount of time, noise, standing & etc. away. I Did an ‘easy’ errand on Friday, that burned the fuse too far. I’ve slept over 12 hours so far since last...

    Turns out naps are not so bad for you. (New study, open access.)

    It’s confusing. I’ve had different results at different times. One episode of sleep hygiene and limiting sleep to 7 1/2 hours overnight, then going to bed the next night as early as I was tired worked, that’s when it was pretty early on in the disease. At other times sleeping as much as...

    Ithaca College: Tireless Work on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (interview with prof. Betsy Keller)

    The case of Howard Bloom is interesting, he had the full disease, bedbound, couldn’t handle light or noise etc, and now he is functioning normally other than having to sleep in two shifts plus taking about two dozen supplements and several injections. Recovery took 12 years. Anecdotally, in my...

    @keela I don’t know how you manage to compose such a coherent and balanced push back to the media circus while dealing with mecfs. Thanks for doing that, it’s something many of us cannot

    He Got Schizophrenia. He Got Cancer. And Then He Got Cured.

    hm. Is our body temp running a bit low? Could a mild fever (increase in body temp) compensate for that? Of course there's much more going on with an infection & response than fever. Immune something-something, inflammation one type vs another type. ???

    What I learned about weight loss from spending a day inside a metabolic chamber

    “Most people in the comfy western rich nations would think 20 mins in The gym 3 times a week is hard exercise.” Sure, if the gym has an average age of at least 80 years. I’ve never known a fitness oriented individual who considers 20 minutes anything more than a warm-up, unless it’s 20 minutes...

    Whether to have a flu vaccination

    Yes, and different people are going to have different amounts of crash. If you’re out in the woods and don’t leave the house and don’t have kids and are not across the street from the elementary school, then you’re probably not going to get the flu anyways. I’m going to get it ASAP, but...
