At her worst, my caree was prescribed Fortisip - and now has a major problem with them because of the associations. They can be bought at a chemist's, but it can be difficult to get them prescribed, because apparently they can be exchanged for drugs on the black market. Can't remember the...

Could it be that you'd actually contracted Covid before you were vaccinated?

Indeed not, and it's very badly set out. I did one only yesterday, because I needed to get something prescribed again that I'd used several years earlier. It starts with a general "what's the problem?" question, so I answered, fairly briefly. The following 3 questions, I think, then asked for...

Apparently, today has been ME Awareness Day, a fact of which I have remained totally ignorant all day :(

I've found over the years that putting the affected area (generally my wrist) in water as hot as you can bear for a while is a good way of easing the problem. Also, trying to hold the mouse or whatever as loosely as possible, rather than tensing your arm, tends to help.

The Guardian doesn't operate a paywall. Possibly the article may not be accessible from outside the UK, though?

The other day, I went into a hall where dance classes have recently resumed. The "if you have any of the following, please don't come in" notice now has four separate symptoms listed, the fourth being "increased fatigue". Is this actually another recognised symptom, or something someone has...

2nd AZ jab a couple of days ago: virtually no reaction this time :)

I just wish they'd hurry up and release some more slots for my second jab: the only ones they've been offering since last week have been one morning which I absolutely can't manage :( And while I think of it, some more details on side-effects of the vaccines - and the ones you need to see a...

I was going to advise more or less what Creekside has already said. (Comes from being at uni and not wanting a certain person to be able to tell whether I was in my room or not!) An alternative "draught excluder" would be the stuff that's sold in a reel, but is actually bent in two lengthwise...

(Australia): Side-effects of vaccinations which need urgent attention because they might indicate blood clots: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/medical/if-you-experience-these-symptoms-after-a-covid-jab-you-should-act-fast/ar-BB1fUFYa?ocid=ASUDHP&li=AAnZ9Ug Also, a worryingly-formulated...

Seems that you've got this sorted already, but f.lux is the one I've seen recommended a lot.

Here's a long article relating to the AstraZeneca jab - history, politics and so on. Hopefully the title isn't too offputting: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/medical/in-defence-of-the-astrazeneca-vaccine-%e2%80%93-and-what-comes-next/ar-BB1fEqH7?ocid=ASUDHP&li=BBoPWjQ

That was what I was telling people, after I realised I'd been a bit dehydrated when I had the jab.

Yep, that sounds about right :(

Apparently, Prozac and itraconazole can be repurposed to help fight Covid-19: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/medical/covid-treatment-anti-fungal-drug-shown-to-have-impressive-results-in-killing-covid-19/ar-BB1ftxOt?ocid=ASUDHP&li=AAnZ9Ug

Thanks. I didn't bother looking 100+ posts back.

Pfizer? AZ? Moderna?

Hmm, Peter has encapsulated the situation in the UK very thoroughly, I think. All I know is that, sometime over last summer, I sent various pieces of information about ME, including the MEA letter, to my caree's GP*, and following that she got bumped up from nothing at all to "extremely...

So, what happens if you mix-and-match vaccines? https://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/medical/heres-what-happens-if-you-end-up-getting-two-different-vaccines/ar-BB1flVws?ocid=ASUDHP&li=AAnZ9Ug
