    Video query- Help appreciated

    Just upload them to YouTube. Seriously. Their auto-caption feature is surprisingly good now, and then you can go in and quickly edit the Norwegian translation/timing to make it accurate. It's the fastest free way to generate a subtitle file.

    What research do you want to see? (study ideas)

    I agree, the biomarker hunt is stalled. We need more work on the persistence of the virus after the initial infection. What happens to the leftovers? Forget the cure for a minute and just map out the damage path. That's the only way forward.

    Tropoflavin for brain fog

    Tropoflavin is the ultimate rabbit hole. Like, seriously, waiting for that is years away, and what about the brain fog today? Forget the risky stuff for a sec. I just went with the foundational ingredients. I found Mind Lab Pro was the easiest way to get Citicoline and Lion’s Mane sorted. It’s...

    Cannabis helps Psoriatic arthritis and Fibromyalgia sufferer enormously

    Honestly this tracks with what I’ve seen in my own family. Cannabis won’t erase something like psoriatic arthritis or fibro, but it can dial things down enough that the person can function again. For my aunt it didn’t kill the pain completely, but it took that “everything is on fire” edge off so...

    The function of ‘functional’: a mixed methods investigation, 2012, Kanaan et al.

    I always thought the ambiguity of "functional" was the point. It's vague enough to use without committing to a clear organic or psychiatric label, which is probably why it's stuck around this long

    Ozempic, tirzepatide and other GLP-1RAs - impact on ME/CFS

    It's interesting because some folks really do say their energy improves on Ozempic or Zepbound, and that lines up with how slowing digestion could reduce the "crash" after eating. But then I read about all the litigation, especially the Wegovy lawsuit updates, and it's clear people are running...

    Clinical Reasoning: A 60-Year-Old Woman With a Palpable Tremor of the Lower Extremities Upon Standing, 2025, Lucia Liao et al

    That leg tremor only showing up when standing and the stronger reflexes on one side make me think there might be some subtle nervous system involvement, maybe early Parkinson’s or something else affecting the spinal cord or nerves. The fact that strength and sensation are normal is a good sign...

    (On chronic pain) A role for proprioceptors in sngception, 2025, Lee

    Seems like proprioceptors, which we usually think of as just sensing body position, also help detect acid-related signals that can cause chronic pain. So they’re more involved in pain than people thought, especially in acid-induced pain. The part about the spinal cord injury patient still...

    The relationship between cannabis and cardiovascular disease: clearing the haze 2025 Chandy et al

    The cardiovascular risks are no joke. With all the changes in cannabis laws, it feels like everyone’s jumping in without really understanding the long-term effects. That’s why I’ve tried to be more selective with what I use. One of the better sources I’ve come across is Joy Organics. Their...

    Pain & CBD (Cannabidiol)?

    Anyone tried CBD for their elbow pain? I mean the medical one. I've been meaning to try it.

    The growing crisis of long sepsis (Daily Mail)

    Sepsis can also be caused by biologic mesh implants. That's something new. Source: https://federal-lawyer.com/injury-lawsuit/integra-biologic-mesh/

    Patience

    I believe patience is one of the most important character traits, especially for us. How can we work on improving the patience for getting better even when we feel extremely ill?

    Thank you so much, Naomi, I have learned a great lesson from this text! I plan to read your other ones too very soon, if my brain fog allows. Keep up the good work!

    Audio distraction: podcasts, audio books, radio on demand

    It isn't included here, but I want to mention that since I'm so severe I can't concentrate on neither audio books nor shows/movies, music is the only thing that keeps me alive, and specifically hip hop and electronic for the most part! Seriously don't know how I'd survive without it.
