Alberta(Canada) researcher wins salt-coated mask innovation.

I've read posts from pwME who are unable to sweat. I think this might be caused by autonomic dysfunction? I've never been tested for autonomic issues, but I am able to sweat and shiver. Do those of you who don't shiver also have difficulty sweating? Menopausal hot flashes/sweats...

When we visited family in England during the 70's there was no central heating, and the loo was outside. The air was damp and I was shivering all the time in only 0 degree temps. Here it can go down to -45 w/windchill and I'm ok as long as I'm wearing a windstopper vest. They say there...

The addiction to exercising became very evident when the gyms shut down. People were angry that they were unable exercise and demanded that they reopen gyms during an infectious pandemic. Many said it negatively affected their mental health. I think it all started when looking fit became...

I shiver when I'm cold. I don't have pain. I also shiver with menopause after a hot flash or night sweat- no amount of layers can warm me up.

@Invisible Woman I think this is why they recommend drinking water first thing in the morning, and remain lying down for 30 minutes before getting up for pw/POTS.

I didn't know that it took 45 minutes to get rehydrated. I thought it was a lot sooner.

My body temperature drops to 95.5 when I'm in PEM.

It made up 15 minutes of the program. I only caught the last long-hauler (a runner) at the end of the segment where she was doing leg resistance exercises.

I wouldn't say that I had severe symptoms, but I was unable to walk or stand for longer than 10 minutes at a time which kept me disabled, so I had to sit or lie down most of the time early on. After 9 months of intensive resting, I felt mostly 'recovered' and returned to work only to become...

"post-exertional malaise (a worsening of symptoms after physical or cognitive exertion)" I read this quite often in studies and reports. I would like this to be changed to 'worsening of symptoms that develop into a worsened state of permanent life long disability". For some of us, PEM...

Moved posts My experience is that PEM is always severe no matter how 'mild, moderate or severe' the patient. My PEM was always severe even when I was feeling 90% 'recovered' improved years ago.

My home-made FIR sauna got rid of my neck pain back in 2000-2001. I had pain for months, and after one session the pain was gone.

I noticed that HV only posts recovery stories, and that ignoring pwME is the best therapy to recovery. Bizarre.

Replying to post #2644: “There are lots of reasons for breathlessness. A fair number of Covid patients have myocharditis, inflammation of the heart muscle. Exercise can cause damage in those cases. People need proper investigations before treatment like physio is prescribed. My concern is if...
