    Internal medicine at the crossroads of long COVID diagnosis and management, 2025, Ranque and Cogan

    Well, perhaps this is what our doctor thinks, though he is sympathetic, he is not a believer. The more you talk and explain, the more coo coo you come across. I thought we were almost over this psychological crap hurdle? We were all excited for the attention LC has been getting, this is...

    An Observation: Sub-Orbital dark Shadows

    Good day amazing people, I would like to share an observation. My daughter's classic look of sub-orbital dark shadows has been present since onset of ME. She recently underwent surgery and was put under anesthetics, about two hours. Due to the heavy sedation, she continued to sleep for...

    Red Light Therapy Has Anyone Tried it?

    @Midnattsol Thanks for sharing. That's insightful. @Creekside Yes, seems to be the general consensus, I guess with everything else, works for some and not others or makes things even worse. Thanks for your reply

    Never Underestimate

    @Trish , yes, thank you. I hope so too. it’s quite a relief, The adolescent doc was going in a weird direction ‘metabolic syndrome’, used words like ‘deconditioned’ and ‘rehabilitation’. Even though she says she has ‘special interest’ in ME, she clearly has a different agenda

    ME & Metformin Use ?

    @Kitty . Thank you for your reply. I read a study where every person in the CFS study had higher lactate in their CSF. Maybe it's not in their blood stream?

    Do You Sleep Better When...

    @Creekside Yes, it is comforting and warm, my daughter felt the same when I discussed what you had shared. Trying things is hard for most ME people, usually they are taking multiple drugs/supplements etc. To know if something actually works is a long and sometimes risky process. I think that...
