I came across a dating app designed for people with chronic illness and disability. https://info.dateabilityapp.com

There might be increased understanding within relationships where both people have chronic conditions or disability.

I did a preliminary search on Google and apoptosis has been linked to major depression. It's almost like pwME are BPS guinea pigs.

In my experience, even in mental health services, they take the time to ask about your symptoms to ensure they reach the correct diagnosis regardless of the GP referral. I'm struggling to understand how that's possible can anyone provide any explanation? @SNT Gatchaman @Jonathan Edwards Is...

These assumptions may need its own thread, but I think it could be part of why the NHS won't include PEM on its website. Are NHS staff even diagnosing pwME with ME/CFS? My diagnosis reads standalone Chronic Fatigue Syndrome…… GPs tend to refer patients to fatigue clinics based on patient...

Abstract Essential elements of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) are muscle (weakness) and tenderness, cognitive deficits, neurological impairments, especially of cognitive, autonomic and sensory functions, but above all, post-exertional “malaise”: a prolonged increase of symptoms after a minor...

What is the purpose of a second parent, especially in this case?

Interestingly, in the past, all the conditions that makeup MUS were advised to be considered following thorough clinical and diagnostic testing. Currently, the leading researchers say it's not needed. What advancements caused that to change? If SVT was so helpful in diagnosing MUS, why wasn't...
