We have a heated pool in my building, so I have easy access. The problem for me is that the warm water makes my BP drop, and I feel unwell for days after. I also don't do well with resistance type exercise- walking against water made my legs weaker and sore. I benefit from...

I've just finished watching a documentary about the 1918 Spanish Flu. A third wave followed in January 1919, ending in the spring.

Most of the available antibody tests can say only whether someone has antibodies, not how many they have or how powerful they are at fighting the virus. Many of the tests are also flawed and signal the presence of antibodies even when there are none.

I like to power walk when I feeling well enough to do so, "group" exercise is way too exhausting and would make me feel much worse.

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother. The virus in Canada has spread like "wildfire" in care homes, almost half the deaths are in long term care homes. The systemic problem rooted in care homes goes back before the pandemic, no inspections, short staffed etc, it was just a...

I slept like a baby for the first 11 years of ME. It was when I started improving and exercising that I went into complete insomnia phase for almost 2 years. I also started experiencing terrible sleep disturbances/wired/tired when I returned to work for a short duration after a...

@Yessica check out DR. Sanjay Gupta's home made mask:

Well no it didn't cure ME, but it was interesting that the gut symptoms (grinding sick nausea etc) started at the same time as my sudden viral onset. I had gut issues similar to yours for years that increasing got worse over time.

@ScottTriGuy I did the urea breath test to determine if the infection (h.pylori) was active. I believe I had the infection for at least 5 years at the onset of ME before a virologist decided to test me. I also take PepzinGI, it has healed my gut completely.

Same. My symptoms were worse at night.

I've decided to wear a small silk scarf to cover it.

@ScottTriGuy I'm sorry that you're experiencing these horrible symptoms at night. It sounds very distressing. Do you think it could be related to autonomic issues?

I am going out grocery shopping this week and plan to wear a mask for the first time. I only have N95 masks that I obtained a few years ago and now feel uncomfortable wearing it. I hope no one judges me, or thinks that I hoarded masks and took them away from healthcare providers.

:jawdrop: Canadian police are to begin visiting homes to enforce the government’s COVID-19 quarantine, the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) said on Friday, warning that “recklessly” failing to comply could result in a $1-million fine and three years in prison.

To date, more than 380 trials for COVID-19 have been posted on Clinical Trials ranging from repurposed antiviral drugs to diagnostic imaging techniques.

How do we explain reports out of South Korea that recovered COVID patients are testing positive again?
