I haven't checked to see if this has already been discussed, but I seem to get tinnitus (much?) less often if I put cotton wool in my ears before washing my hair. Avoiding getting gunge in there or poking with fingers or anything else also seems to help. It seems to cause a build-up of stuff...

Haven't read it, but am put off by the use of 'chronic fatigue' instead of 'chronic fatigue syndrome'.

I heard voices for about a year after coming off addictive drugs, in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They then stopped quite suddenly. I called them 'my aliens'. I didn't mind them at all! (They seemed friendly and informative.) It was before getting ME.

Just seen this again. I think it was Clostridium.

Very impressive, clear, and very well-supported!

I don't know if there'll be anything related to ME/CFS, but he is one of those being consulted on tonight's programme 'D for Diagnosis': "From the medical library of the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, Professor Sir Simon Wessely, former President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists...

Eight instances of 'hearth rate' instead of 'heart rate'!

Kaolin and morphine appears to have been banned - can't get it any more (at least last time I tried). Goodness knows why - because of a tiny amount of morphine? I always used to keep some in case of an attack of diarrhoea. Eventually there was only a disgusting-tasting version, and then nothing.

@Creekside referred to Cuminum cyminum earlier.

Thanks, @Wonko. I have curry most days and it contains cumin. Previously I used proper spices including cumin when cooking. No noticeable effect...or was there? How much do you use, @Creekside?

What is the PEM blocker? I don't think I've heard of this.

But there are probably other listed symptoms that we don't all have, but which are common, for example headaches and feeling dizzy or sick.

"a sore throat or sore glands that aren't swollen"? I hope this will be changed in the new guidelines. My neck glands are permanently swollen now - have been for years.

Just noticed a typo above: "Dr. Luis Nacul, and ME/CFS patients, cares, and public". Can somebody notify them? I can't find anywhere to email.

I've sent the following email to four people, three of whom have ME and the other who has friends with ME: 'Dear All, There is some important potential ME research proposed, and sufferers can indicate their possible willingness to participate here (filling in this form does not commit anyone...

Thanks very much - I have signed up. I do hope they get a grant. I've been wanting to sign up for research into ME for as long as I can recall, and I've had it for over 24 years!
