I get reactivations of herpes viruses (?) frequently, dizziness. weakness, fatigue etc. often. For me it doesn't feel like the flu, but who knows sometimes it might be the flu? I don't think I have an autoimmune issue though. We've got lots of time to wait and see how the vaccine plays...

Yes, hold on I forgot to post it. I'm working on a very slow laptop today and I'm frustrated! https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ene.14711

I had a OxyMark Panel done that was sent to an international center for metabolic testing. It measured everything from OAT,amino acids, antioxidants, oxidative stress, essential fatty acids and iron metabolism. The conclusion was that I was not converting nutrients/food into energy. I have...

How did RD "prove" CFS is real? This: "Davis had discovered that the processes in each cell that convert food to energy were not working correctly in his son. The scientists had “found scientific proof of ME/CFS,” clearing a major hurdle for a disease that many still today deem imaginary". I'm...

Not necessarily. My understanding is that we no longer have the virus, so the cause is no longer what is keeping us ill. Our physiopathology might share similar pathways to PEM.

It makes no sense to me either. If the first dose didn't cause any allergic reaction, then home visits for the second jab would be safe. In my province they've decided to vaccinate fewer people and save the second jab for them at the later date. Mixing of vaccines is not recommended...

"However, the advice said that while every effort should be made to complete the dosing regimen with the same vaccine, if the patient is at “immediate high risk” or is considered “unlikely to attend again” they can be given different vaccines." :confused:

Only "on rare occasions". Who would be a candidate for this?

I received a letter in the regular mail 2 days ago from the OMF asking for donations, and a photograph taken by Whitney, "Never Forget the Light".

I've noticed that American doctors on twitter are intrigued by ME when it's brought to their attention. Nothing from Canadian doctors when it's mentioned though- silence. I didn't it post it here, but there was a rural Canadian doctor who sarcastically (hard to tell) said she wanted...

I was considered 'malnourished' because I was depleted in proteins, fats and minerals. I ate a healthy diet, but had serious malabsorption problems at the time. Many chronic illnesses have gut issues so there's that too.

It's like the pathophysiology of ME was just some midcentury campfire story.

I have been experiencing muscle cramps/soreness that migrates all over my body since menopause. Some bring me to a full stop where I have to literally sit on the floor. I don't think it's magnesium in my case because it's quite different from when I had severe mg deficiency many years ago.

Or they could be experiencing undiagnosed POTS?

I was diagnosed with "CFS/PVFS" in 1992 by the clinician who co-authored the Canadian Consensus Criteria. He never used the term ME/CFS back then. My diagnosis today remains "CFS".

Dr. Byron Hyde states that "CFS" is given as a diagnosis because the illness has not been properly investigated.

@Jonathan Edwards Aren't these antibodies found in normal individuals too? Is there a genetic factor? I remember when I was thrilled to find out that my lymphocyte immune markers were 'abnormal', only to discover that abnormalities are genetically controlled...

I was hoping to get vaccinated at home when it becomes available, but I'm not sure they'll l have the necessary equipment in case of an allergic reaction? I don't have allergies that I'm aware of, but . . .
