    Cortisol and catecholamines tests - low cortisol / addisons?

    I only had one cortisol test done and it was the exact number for maximum range, but I think it was in blood not saliva or urine so eh. I mention because I didn’t actually know lower cortisol was a more common finding in ME/CFS people even anecdotally, and I think we do need to just approach...

    New poor Guardian article "ME and the perils of internet activism" 28th July 2019

    Lets all just post pictures of cheese instead of making comments about him or linking them to any articles. It seems more productive and won’t benefit anyone. Sharp objects might scare him too much.

    ME from stress ?

    I feel like I’ve seen this phrasing repeatedly in both patient groups and in the criterias. I think this definition potentially includes a viral infection as stress, but then also accidents or very body demanding situations.

    The link between idiopathic intracranial hypertension, fibromyalgia, and CFS: exploration of a shared pathophysiology (2018) Hulens et al.

    This one may be interesting. I have IIH that was diagnosed recently and have had ME/CFS for 3+ years. I’ll start a thread elsewhere though. I’ll watch and wait, I’m interested to see where they go because I do feel like some people with the conditions names may need checked for IIH based on...

    Singing and gargling

    I used to love singing when I was alone, its one of the things I dearly miss even though I am not great at it. I did it for many years, some days frequently. It was also at one point, a theraputic exercise recomended to me by a therapist for helping stave off panic attacks at home. It does work...
