Just to confuse things a bit, rabies is one of the many types of lyssavirus that exist around the world. They are often named after the area where they are found. Eg, European Bat Lyssavirus and Australian Bat Lyssavirus (ABLV). They are prevented with rabies vaccine. I know this because I ended...

I think she should produce a not too indecently lucrative video for those of us who can't get the hang of the columns and rows and coloured markers for tasks that are easy, medium and hard. All to be entered daily, or was it hourly. Not to forget notebooks to be purchased as well for listing...

Just a few thoughts: "Knowing when to expect change allows you to monitor your progress. If improvements are not occurring within the scheduled timeframe, follow up with your healthcare provider." "A treatment that works for one person may not work for another." These two sentences suggest...

I wonder if sleeping in an upright or semi-upright position, using an adjustable bed for example, would give a quick indication of whether an obstructed airway is implicated.

I made the mistake of getting a bit excited when I saw the thread title - pain is one of my predominant symptoms and I've been told it is FM. Whatever. Now I could cry with disappointment. Every time I get sucked in by this garbage I remember why I completely stopped reading anything to do with...

I'm struggling to follow things as always but, if the definition of PEM is a worsening of symptoms after physical or mental activity, wouldn't there need to be discernible symptoms to start with in order to tell if they had become worse? I have assumed that apparently well people who become...

Sounds like a few too many after work to me.

I agree. I think even a healthy person of average fitness would find the programme a challenge. I know someone with LC with fatigue, who was quite fit beforehand but who can only work a few hours a week now. This person is unable to walk the dog around the local park anymore. They would laugh...

Each session included 10 min of warm-up (3 min of specific exercise, sitting on the wall, 1 min of anterior plank on elbows and feet, 50 sit-ups, and 1 min of sustained sit-ups), 40 min of trunk musculature training, and 10 min of cool-down (breathing, stretching, and muscle relaxation). All...

That's what I thought. I would love to believe Sandler is just the token BPS person. It looks like a balanced and expert panel to me, not that I know anything more than what is written on the list though.

Thanks for the link @Simone. Good to see a couple of Emerge people involved.

I was prescribed 6 months of azithromycin because I had a high mycoplasma load somewhere or other. I don't recall how it was tested for. It was 30 years ago when I knew nothing and asked nothing, and I trusted the integrative medicine doctor who actually believed me and did his best to help my...

I haven't red the paper but the mere thought of heat as a treatment fills me with horror. I spent a few days camping in the tropics a month ago and it has taken until now to recover. Not that cold is the answer either.

I play scrabble every day with a friend in England who has fairly advanced non-Hodgin lymphoma. Last year she had rituximab treatment and underwent the first infusion in a hospital room with a lot of others receiving infusions for various things. Not one patient or member of staff wore a mask...

The link didn't work for me. This one does: https://archive.md/xnKTA

I would really like to know this because it's one of the rare consistent parts of my ME experience.

I remember this too. I think it was with David Tuller. Edit: Found it - from about 4.40 to 5.52.

I thought this blatant confession of love-bombing (a brain-washing technique) was priceless: "It is key to have complete compassion and understanding for their experience and then to explain the science. When you do that, many people respond favorably - despite this not being mainstream ideas."

I really hope this gets a lot of airplay. Glenys Rumsey is inspirational!
