    COVID-19: UK volunteers to be deliberately exposed to COVID in world-first trial

    They are, apparently, according to an interview with an 18 year old on BBC News 24 this morning, not being paid, but are receiving £4000 'compensation' for the 17 days they will be isolated. Apparently this is to ensure that they get the right quality of applicants or something, I tuned out...

    UK: Petition: Specify ME/CFS on the list of neurological conditions under group 6 for UK Covid19 vaccine

    Diabetes isn't classified as CEV but is classified as group 6, according to the letter they (the government) sent me last week telling me to make an appointment for a jab. It seems being on the 'list' is only dependant on what they have identified, or think, may make someone at risk of needing...

    Post-COVID-19 Symptom Burden: What is Long-COVID and How Should We Manage It?, Sykes et al, 2021

    Aren't males traditionally trained to ignore/minimise 'anxiety', 'fatigue' and pain? Isn't this traditionally what males do? So less males reporting such things doesn't necessarily indicate that they experience less of them, only that they have been trained, since childhood, that complaining...

    It would be 'naive' to think that things can't get worse. They can.

    Article : ‘Revenge Bedtime Procrastination’ Is Real, According to Psychologists

    Seems a bit on the wrongly thought about side to me. I can, and do, several times a day, fall asleep in front of a screen. What I seriously struggle with is falling asleep in bed - which I admit does lead to me tending to go to bed later, but experience has shown me that if it, say, takes 2...

    The NAD+ Long COVID Theory

    I would question whether this is a 'treatment' tho. From my point of view, despite it having being proposed for 'a while' no one, other than those who make the stuff, or are employed by them, directly or indirectly, has even bothered to do any 'studies' on it. It looks to me like long covid...

    The NAD+ Long COVID Theory

    Isn't this just an old recycled theory of what 'causes' ME, that didn't pan out. Pretty sure I've seen it before, years ago, in the context of ME not long covid (as long covid is a 'new' thing) Not all recycling is a good thing.

    Livestrong: 5 Tips for Maintaining a Fitness Routine With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

    'Experts' in what, exactly? Possibly an expert in plumbing, or maybe how to grow oranges, or even forensic accounting. Coz without some idea of what they are claiming expertise in, and its relevance to the subject being discussed, what 'experts' say may actually be a strong indication of the...

    Livestrong: 5 Tips for Maintaining a Fitness Routine With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

    In my experience all livestrong 'articles' are like this, very 'surface' and generic - sort of like astrology applied to health - Generic statements that will apply to most people. That to anyone who doesn't know better, or think, seem sensible. You lot are only spotting it coz they have now...

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    They seem to be ignoring, or downplaying to the point of not mentioning it, the evolutionary pressure we are putting on the virus/human organism. All they seem to be concerned about, with regards to mutations, is getting the number of 'infected' down as this 'will' reduce the number of...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    Surely that's an open admission that such investigations are not, as they are supposed to, being carried out for pwME? Even as a lowly diagnosis of exclusion it is implied that things should be looked for (excluded), and treated if found. What the above amounts to is saying that 'things' must...

    Low oxygen SPO2 anyone?

    Uncertain - according to a quick google. The reason for anemia appears to maybe have an effect, but that aside there would appear to be studies suggesting that it doesn't, that it does (raising reported SpO2) and that it does (lowering SpO2). So...uncertain. I copied your question into google...

    Low oxygen SPO2 anyone?

    Not what i meant. I meant that anything that makes your skin redder is likely to affect an SpO2 reading - such as a hot shower.

    Low oxygen SPO2 anyone?

    As far as I am aware they work by detecting how red your blood is - as hemoglobin that's bound to oxygen is red. So basically they are looking for red and inferring from that how well oxygenated your blood is. It is probably a little more complicated than that (e.g. they may only be measuring...

    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    She did say that it was good for everything - she didn't limit it to medical matters ;) So a little bit of moderate exercise may be all we need to repay the national debt, cure world hunger, get perishable food into the EU before it spoils, and rising sea levels, floods, people melting in the...

    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    I'm fairly certain that at the time Claire Gerada was in the press stating that she had got over covid with a few days bed rest and chicken soup - crowing about it in fact. If that was the length of time she was laid up then 'deconditioning' is unlikely to be the 'reason' why going for a run...
