    What can we learn from the Post Office scandal publicity (including TV)?

    I've wondered this, too. There's been no suggestion that someone, e.g. at Fujitsu, was siphoning off the money themselves, yet wouldn't this be a possibility?

    Preprint Females are less likely to receive bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation in witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, 2023, Munot et al.

    It's quite well-known that the "typical" symptoms of a heart attack are those found in men: in women, they are often quite different, and not nearly as recognisable, because we've all been taught to be aware of male-type symptoms only.

    BBC Article : Why Covid is still flooring some people

    I thought the more times you got it, the greater the risk? That seemed to be the message from some people's experience.

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    Another one via MSN: Rare clotting effect of early COVID shots finally explained — what could that mean for future vaccines? (msn.com) "Rare blood clots tied to some early COVID-19 vaccines that are no longer in use may have been the result of two out-of-control immune reactions happening at...

    Covid is evolving – but the UK is not doing enough to evolve with it - Professor Sheena Cruickshank, October 2023

    Sounds not unlikely. I went to a Christmas "party" (work-related) in a room above a pub on Friday - it wasn't that heavily populated, thank heavens. A couple of days ago, I - and many others - received an email from the organiser (who had been there) mentioning in passing that she'd do...

    Air Fryer worth it at all for someone with severe ME?

    I was reminded of this thread when I looked in my junk mail folder tonight and found an email from Robert Dyas suggesting buying an air fryer microwave oven! https://www.robertdyas.co.uk/kitchen-electricals/small-appliances/small-cooking-appliances/air-fryers They have some incredibly...

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    Yes, and a lot of the free ones issued during the pandemic aren't valid beyond January 2024. I fear I may be having to use mine up over the next few days, anyway :(

    Which one's the Sanofi, please? I hadn't heard of that one before.

    What items/documents would you like to send to GPs/primary care physicians if you were doing a mail-out?

    I sent this one to a GP a couple of years ago: Review of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: an evidence-based approach to diagnosis and management by clinicians (degruyter.com) There was also something from the Bateman Horne Center, but that's giving a 404 error now. There was...

    Media articles about endometriosis

    Appalling. Amazing it could have spread so far without being detected.

    Ed Yong Articles on Long Covid & ME/CFS

    And, irony of ironies, one of the articles linked to at the bottom of the page: "How to Have Your Most Fulfilling Vacation Ever". If only ... :(

    Gentle(st) stretching routine

    No, but I was thinking more along the lines of when you wake up in the morning, or something, assuming that you've been fairly warm overnight.

    Gentle(st) stretching routine

    I don't know if it's relevant here, but in my ballet class (sorry) we are now told not to do any stretching until the body is warmed up. It used to be that you'd see ballet dancers on the floor stretching before they started doing any movement, but I don't think that's the case any longer.

    Europe: News from the European Union and the European Parliament

    Instead, some translator has committed the sin of rendering (I presume) the French "rappelle" as "recalls" :( Sorry, but that always bugs me when it happens - it is a pig to find a correct English term, but "recall" ain't it.

    UK: Disability benefits (UC, ESA and PIP) - news and updates 2023 (including government plans to scrap the work capability assessment)

    Trouble with snail mail is that if they're all working from home it's possible that nobody will be around to read it.

    Dentistry; dental treatment

    There is an existing thread on this, although I'm not sure where it's gone, because I remember the MEA having produced a leaflet about anaesthetics. Edit: Ah, no wonder I remember it. I started it :) Members only - Dental treatment | Science for ME (s4me.info)

    United Kingdom: BT Home Essentials broadband for people on specific benefits

    Thank you, Simbindi. That's very useful to know, as we may be moving soon and will have to go through all the rigmarole with BT or whoever. Do I need to speak to someone in advance, I wonder? Edit: looks as though PIP isn't a qualifying benefit, though, which isn't helpful :(...
