I couldn't find, from a quick search of the paper, whether or not patients swallowed the saline. This could be important if in COVID, as in ME, there is a tendency to hyponatraemia.

I too voted "It depends" for the same reasons as others have given. I've just participated in a government-run at-home COVID study, which no longer pays, and expect to participate further, as I have lots of test kits they sent me when I agreed to. I was paid for my participation in earlier...

Do you have enough salt, @Woozy?

Yes - that's what I meant, @Woozy, - sorry if it wasn't clear.

Maybe you've been misdiagnosed? It's very common!

I've just noticed an error in the written report - it says "Females are more likely to experience...hyperthyroidism" whilst point 4 in the Initial Questionnaire Results above refers to hypothyroidism.

I'd never heard of Visual Snow Syndrome before. Once between the ages of 5 and 7 I experienced what I described as 'cotton wool' across my field of vision, and I was terrified and had to sleep in the bed of my aunt and uncle for the rest of the night. I am pretty sure I was OK in the morning...

Just did a quick search - methylphenidate is Ritalin.

I hope the picture of a mouse/rat is not indicative that drugs will be tested on them. The results would be highly irrelevant to humans, especially as we know so little about ME, so there is no way to 'make' a representative animal to test drugs on.

I haven't looked at it yet, but there seems to be a conflict between the title and the abstract. The title is 'A Systematic Analysis of the Effectiveness of Mitochondrial-Based Therapies', but the abstract doesn't mention mitochondria at all.

Hopefully the health service will provide suitable masks on entry. Some people may not have them.

I think I've signed it now by using Bing - Firefox kept showing the 'already signed' page. Is there any way to view the signatures of people who haven't left comments?

When I click I get this page: https://www.change.org/p/stop-the-abc-from-broadcasting-misinformation-about-me-cfs but it assumes that I have already signed and says "Take the next step". I've tried refreshing the page but it's still the same.

What a load of absolute cr*p.

I'm fairly sure that I've had a few occurrences of this, having become ill in 1995. I think that cannabis also brings it about temporarily. It definitely eases muscle tension. I've even been able to dance (as far as I'm skilfully able!). The early occurrence(s) lasted months, I think.

I believe it was Grenada in the West Indies where he went scuba diving, not Granada in Spain.

Thank you - hope you improve too. The idea of a colonoscopy rather terrifies me! I've just had a proper night's sleep for the first time in ages except when I take strongish sleeping medication promethazine. I wasn't woken by the need to pass large amounts of gas as I have been recently. I...
