Heat, noise (from nearby), standing: Imma guess that 80% of us would say those are sure to cause a crash, yet they’re not on any official list I know of. Personally, I’d say that if a person can tolerate standing in place and heat roughly as much as before they got sick, they have something...

Welcome to Interesting Times! Brought to you by the Boomers. (not exclusively by them)

We seem to be entering a stage of civilization where the only goal is the elevation and preservation of Me. A profession becomes a ticket, a professional to client transaction becomes a feeding occasion. It’s not confined to us and our disease, it’s not confined to medicine, it’s not at all...

Oh, good. I prefer to give Twitter as a little additional revenue as possible.

Sometimes they just never end. Not in the lifetime of those affected at least.

That family member isn’t suffering from a terror/phobia, they’re simply a wretchedly bad human being. ..... this will probably offend someone, but it has to be said.

How many millions for this crxp? And we think it’s generous when 2 or 3 M gets allocated to the disease/disease family/cthulu-forcefield we deal with.

Well, I’ve lived long enough to see something encouraging happen. O/T: From the little I’ve seen of the Dutch, they’re generally fit, healthy and rather attractive. If that’s not true, it’s a pleasant illusion. Having the success in making your own health probably makes it harder to...

I know nothing about the details of whatever happened - or didn’t happen - but I do know we can’t afford to lose people like Dr. Montoya. He started treating us and doing research when is was a professional risk to do so.

Does she not understand what she’s doing, or has she no shame about the harm she is willfully doing?

#JustSayInFlies? Eeew.

Wellll, N of 1 and all, but I decided to get the HPV shot despite having M.E., we’re in a low risk for that stuff but high risk for vaccines. But I tolerate the flu shot, so I thought I’d try it. Result: The next day, I felt exactly as worn out as I always do. And the day after, and the day...

Huh. I thought it was standard practice to not off a vax while a person is feverish, even if they ‘want to get it done today’. Then again, rules seem to garner little respect these days.

Life has left us behind. We weren’t included in the media hype, nor will we be next time. It’s not the story they want to market.

Room temperature hydrogen? So, ahh, am supposta put that in the fridge, then the fuse-ion box.

A medical work co-written by an attorney suggests to me that the content is snow, not science.

Clinical evidence. It’s one of the criteria my doc used to diagnose MECFS.

So it sounds like “wash your hands” won’t do for anyone born in the last 60 years. We were not taught how to wash our hands, there is actually a method and an ordered series of steps that must be followed or one is just splashing microbes around. I’m a little cheesed that I was never taught...

Ordinary soap, any brand. It is one of mankind’s most wonderful inventions. The virus depends on a lipid envelope, Lipid means fat. Soap and water emulsifies fat, very efficiently ripping the virus into useless little bits. Ya just gotta use handwashing technique so that the soap and water get...

On a national scale, the best thing is simple surgical masks which prevent you from knowingly or unknowingly transmitting it to others. Those are cheap enough you can toss them several times a day if need be, and much less uncomfortable then a multi layer N95. The thin masks are not much good...
