I might be a bit out of topic but I want to share that, although my fatigue only gets worse with time, a few years ago I stopped experiencing PEM, which is great (is there someone like me?). Otherwise, when I used to experience PEM, it started about 1 to 2 hours after physical or cognitive...

I just want to say that I went through no-PEM to PEM to (again) no-PEM phases in the course of my illness. Currently my fatigue is very bad but (fortunately) I don't experience PEM. Food for thought whether PEM must be included as a requirement for diagnosis of CFS.

This AI is like the computer in Blake's 7.

Here is some extremely useful software for people with rsi on both hands: lipsurf (chrome extension) - navigate through pages by voice (don't overdo thought because too much talking may cause PEM) murgee auto keyboard - auto presses keyboard key at specified interval (I use it for facebook...

My story includes alcohol abuse so probably not a good advertisement for the community. If this is not a problem then I don't mind.

I don't know, I doubt it but I should probably make a research.

No, I don't know any.

I'm applying for disability for the first time now and since I have never been diagnosed with CFS or something similar, I apply with the diagnose my psychiatrist gave me which is borderline personality disorder. They gave me 50-70% disability but for 1 year only, I need to apply every year.

Here in Bulgaria almost no one wants to get vaccinated (at present only 10% of the people are). So luckily for the rest of us there is a big choice of vaccines - astra zeneca, pfizer and moderna. I got vaccinated with Pfizer and haven't had any significant problems. Only sore arm after the first...

I wish I was aware of this threat earlier: I spend 14-15 hours a day lying in my bed, mousing, so I developed repetitive strain injury at my right arm and biceps. I can no longer use it so I'm mousing with my left hand now. I also bought a trackball so I can switch from mouse to trackball, but...

I tried stopping venlafaxine abruptly and had an awful discontinuation syndrome so I had to reinstate some of the dose. Interestingly I stopped duloxetine abruptly as well and didn't have any problems. As far as I know these drugs have similar structure so (just a suggestion) I might have...

Thank you for this information. Probably it wasn't any of the medications , but the environment was too tense for me (too many people at one place and I wasn't in the best relationships with one of the doctors).

I was for 19 days in psychiatry on occasions I don't want to mention and now I'm barely able to think. I can still walk long distances but I can barely play my favorite game for 10-15 minutes and my brain stops. I was injected with haloperidol 5 mg (2-0-2) and promethazine (2-0-2). I don't know...

They announced a state of emergency in Bulgaria today. So, I'm staying home in bed and not going anywhere. Oh wait ...

Yes, I've fasted for 8 days. It didn't help my issues - chronic bacterial prostatitis and cfs. I don't think it cures anything, neither that it resets the immune system. I also know a guy who tried to cure cancer by water fasting and almost killed himself. He was finally saved after surgery and...

I should have updated this thread a long ago but here it is: one of the nurses who first saw the results of the scan misled me that I have certainly had a stroke in the past. This might or might not be true. As far as I understand, the finding could either be ischemic stroke or Virchow–Robin...

The question is who judges which condition is terrible and incurable. A doctor? Then what happens if the patient wants to end their life because of some unrecognized condition (like CFS). I find it humiliating that somebody decides for you if you have a right to end your own life. Everybody...

I'm on antidepressants for 4 months now and I'm crashing just as often and as bad as before, only without the feeling of anxiety. What an improvement.

Someone knows a dumber method for crashing?

OK on the second thought modafinil doesn't help for my fatigue, neither boosts my energy. It clears my brain fog though, which is wonderful, and I "live in the moment", and become very concentrated and chatty. However, this happens only if I take a dose of about 600-800 mg, which is double of...
