A major contributing factor is child obesity that has increased in the last 2+ decades. Perhaps because of higher levels of the fat-regulating hormone leptin? There's also a study (studies) that indicate associations to chemicals (phthalates etc) in products. I can't believe the amount...

I just looked this up. https://mssociety.ca/about-ms/types: Four disease courses have been identified in multiple sclerosis: clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), primary progressive MS (PPMS), and secondary progressive MS (SPMS)

My ME didn't start out with viral reactivations, I actually felt "virus-free" for 11 years. Something changed along the way where I'm feeling 'viral' 80% of the time. Some are actual viruses but others not so much. I'm not going to my GP every month to find out.

I think it is a consequence of dysregulated immune function for a subset that would include me.

I had a sudden viral onset in 1991 but was able to continue my studies and working feeling 'unwell'. It was when I received the second Hep B jab 3 months later that everything went downhill. I seem to recall through Dr. B Hyde's investigation during that time that contaminated vaccines...

Israel’ the world’s fastest per capita, shifted to booster shots on Sunday. :jawdrop:

India is about to launch one of the worlds largest public health initiatives by vaccinating ~300 million citizens for COVID through July! *150,000 staff mobilized in 700 districts. *45,000 ice-lined refrigerators *290,000 supply points Godspeed. In Canada, we have only vaccinated 0.73% so...

I have also contemplated everything you wrote @Wonko. I've reached the point where the inconvenience of going out to get the vaccine is bothering me more than the vaccine itself. :unsure: and going out twice for it.

I am definitely getting the vaccines. Hopefully in a few months they will be taking appointments nearby so that I don't have to wait in line. I'll have to ask a friend to take me though in case I don't feel well afterwards. There are many like us who can't stand/wait in lines and...

"Ok, 10 days is too long and 5 days is too short. Let's go with 7 days" Done.

"Only return to exercise after at least seven days free of symptoms, and begin with at least two weeks of minimal exertion" Did they just pull this number out of thin air?

If you do a quick google, the term 'psychological and stress' and 'mental morbidities' is heavily stressed in outcomes years later.

@leokitten These are the researchers and research that is going to inadvertently figure out ME.

@perchance dreamer Some people have said that slow-release NAC improved their sleep. It had the opposite effect for me too.

What on earth is Dr. Klimas going on about? "There are natural supplements that act to block or clear histamine and stabilize mast cells such as alpha lipoic acid, ascorbic acid, B6, diamine oxidase enzymes (DAO), luteolin, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), Omega-3's, riboflavin, SAMe, quercetin, and...

Researchers have designed an mRNA vaccine that delayed the onset of and reduced the severity of multiple sclerosis-like disease in mice. The vaccine restores the body’s tolerance to its own proteins, suppressing the disease's immune over reactivity...

My migraines were genetic, my grandmother suffered terribly with them. They stopped after menopause.

In 2001 a biochemist who owns a compounding pharmacy in my city proved CFS was real too. And we don't have to be 'severe' as RD mentions. I was running at the time.
