We have another theory from John Martin stealth virus here. The virologist I saw years ago told me that JM is the only 'doctor' who can actually see this virus.

When I became ill 28 years ago there was a 4-5 year waiting list for subsidized housing, now it's a 15-20 year wait.

Thank goodness! You saved yourself even more worsening. I bought myself a stairmaster during that period and used it 4 times. It made me permanently worse! I had to hire homecare to do groceries/errands and sold her my stairmaster.

Not in Canada. I've been living in the same apartment for 27 years, my rent is $325 below what others are paying for the same size unit. Rent sucks up 80-90% of monthly disability income Thankfully I like my place and neighbourhood and won't be moving.

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/some-covid-19-patients-aren-t-getting-better-major-medical-n1231281 One theory is that the inflammation triggered by COVID-19 damages the autonomic nervous system, which affects functions we don't consciously think about, such as digestion, sweating...

I don't know, it sounds more like a pet project to me.

@Simbindi We have some similarities with our thyroid onset. In 1991 I had 'extremely' elevated anti-thyroid antibodies during onset and was sent for a thyroid scan by my GP. My thyroid function was fine. The Endo told me it was viral and that the anti-bodies would eventually go back to...

Pretty sure this this workshop will lead nowhere.

Getting the flu with COVID might be worse than the flu-shot. Too many unknowns.

I'm concerned for those post COVID patients who will be offered a flu-shot when flu season starts in the fall. This might be the second 'hit' that ends any hope for their recovery.

Extreme 'long hauler" here. I've endured 10,226 days post virus. My interview with CNN Anderson Cooper:

I'm not exposed to many people so don't feel the need to get a flu shot. I come down with some weird virus every every year or two. I feel as though my immune system is constantly fighting something. It's exhausting.

My local health food store insist on pouring the coffee beans(into a bag) and grinding them for us. We have to stand 6 metres away while he's grinding. This is only the second time I've gone there in the last 3+months and they're still doing this, yet all their self-serve bins and spice...

Back in 2003 during the SARS outbreak in Canada, a technician came to my home in full protective gear.

Ramsay wrote that he saw low grade fever (100) in ME patients. I've never had a fever despite my sudden viral/vertigo onset. High fevers appears to be a common symptom with COVID? Reading all these news stories about post COVID does trigger memories though :(

Everything has to go as planned in my case, and I have to be in complete control of my environment- or I'm in trouble.

Panax ginseng, - Asian ginseng overstimulated my nervous system many years. I was jittery for 6 weeks until I realized it was the herb. Gave me insomnia too. I can't imagine all those herbs combined as beneficial for an already overactive nervous system.

I can't provide an exact date, but it was mentioned in this news article dated August 2017. https://www.mv-voice.com/news/2017/08/05/symposium-highlights-new-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-research

I have low citric-acid cycle intermediates based on a panel of tests I had done. I don't have the ability to convert stored energy from food into ATP fast enough to replenish energy. Of course there are other factors too. Could be muscle strength in your wifes case too. I don't feel...
