    Closed UK: DecodeME updates, was recruitment thread.

    Hello, I have received another spit kit, though I sent mine back many months ago. I didn’t receive an email to say that it was received but recently had an email to tell me that a kit was on its way to me. I have emailed the DecodeME team to see what is going on.

    Hi @Maria1 - thanks, I'm exhausted by it all but relieved to be home. I'm so sorry to hear that you get migraines too, they are really debilitating. I can understand your concerns, I am similar with medications and having to be careful what I take as I'm so sensitive. I had got to a point...

    NICE ME/CFS draft guideline - publication dates and delays 2020

    Similar thing happened to me. A CFS clinic called it pacing but encouraged baseline to do no matter how ill I felt, then increase by ten percent every 2 weeks.

    DecodeME - UK ME/CFS DNA study underway

    Thanks. I just want to make sure I did it right and that any emails don’t go into spam etc. Some of my family members have registered to be part of the non ME group. I have told a friend with ME about it and shared. I did register on the original website but didn’t know it had changed, a...

    Do you get a lot of heat in your head with a ME headache?

    I get migraines often. Long lasting. Always on left side with aura. The pain is in head, eye, sinuses, jaw, teeth, neck, shoulder and arm. I do feel heat on that side sometimes, not always. I find ice pack helps. But, short lived.
