    Crowdfunding: Trial By Error [David Tuller]: Reporting on ME, ME/CFS, long Covid, and "Medically Unexplained Symptoms", Oct 2022

    With careful planning and foresight I managed to avoid getting one.

    UK - Energy - suppliers, costs, grants, meters etc

    That is 'unfortunate', for me. I received one for my old address (which has received 2, one before I moved and one afterwards). The postcode I am currently in has also received 2 (one before, and one after I moved in), but because I am in the process of starting a universal credit claim (being...

    Long Covid in the media and social media 2022

    So instead of approaching each patient, listening to them, and forming an opinion, doctors should start from the assumption that patients will have psychiatric issues? and yet doctors can say this, in print, and tell other doctors that this is a correct approach to take, and not be struck off...

    Vegetable prep - seeking suggestions

    For veg, especially leafy green veg, I'd think you'd be hard pressed to beat what can already be obtained pre frozen. And it's a lot of work to prep veg for freezing. Possibly just pick one or two types that you don't like the pre-frozen versions of and try and do it better - chances are you...

    USA Centers for Disease Control (CDC) news (including ME/CFS Stakeholder Engagement and Communication Calls) - next call 4 Dec 2024

    For those who live in my flat, in the UK, google informs me that is 8PM, on the 6th of December, 2022. Today (local time, to me).

    Gravity and the Gut: A Hypothesis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome 2022 Brennan

    So remove gravity and IBS stops? Easily testable. Train up pwIBS as astronauts......and see what happens. Of course it'd cost a bit, but people are launching cars and who knows what else up there, the cost to launch a few pwIBS seems a small price to pay given they say it affects 800 million...

    Relation of Urinary Mercury Level to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome among Workers of Artisanal and Small-scale Gold Mining: 2022

    Presumably it's more helpful to the mining/refining companies involved who wish to not give compensation, mercury poisoning, when mercury is used in the extraction/purification of gold, they would be liable, but CFS, nothing to do with them = no compensation payable. Or something similar.

    Covid-19 vaccination experiences

    I was under the impression that the 'allergies' thing was mostly, if not exclusively, due to people having egg protein allergic reactions due to eggs being used to produce some vaccines - but not AFAIK covid vaccines used in the UK. Yes, some people have a bad reaction to covid vaccines, and...

    Blood pressure all over the place

    I'm not a medical type personage, and know nothing, about anything, not even about what I don't know, but.... it might be worth getting checked out, if it can be done conveniently - it seems that a difference of greater than 40 between top and bottom numbers may not be fantastic - it appears to...

    Long Covid in the media and social media 2022

    If recovery means stops experiencing the symptoms of xyz then everyone recovers, eventually. From everything. Of course the length of time varies, for some it could be 200 years, but eventually, no more symptoms. This is at least my understanding of in time.

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

    Brain fog can affect judgement, and make me insistent that a conclusion based on faulty cognition and memory is correct. It has, in the past, also led to behaviours like he is showing, trying to correct, or minimise those who don't share the same point of view, due to having functioning brains...

    Memory problems

    Wouldn't that simply prove that they charged you? Not that you actually went ;)

    Website 'neurosymptoms.org' founded by Jon Stone, funded by the Scottish Government promoting Recovery Norge

    Top rate ESA (SG) is currently a smidge over £7000 (£7038 or something close to that), not £6,115. and of course, for some, there is also housing benefit, possibly up to £5K or thereabouts. Doesn't really undermine your basic premise tho, that disability benefits are nowhere near even close to...

    Lightning Process - discussion thread

    It was probably designed for it - didn't it used to have a 140-160 character limit, like texts (used to, may still do, ain't sent a text in...a long time)?

    ME/CFS services in the United Kingdom

    erm...aren't we already accused of paying too much attention to bodily sensations? and they want us to pay more attention, using some form of hypnotic state? as someone who has spent a considerable amount of time learning to ignore 'bodily sensations' - I'd probably be even crazier if I didn't...

    Long Covid in the media and social media 2022

    So.....one in 8 people, 10's of thousands of people (not hundreds of thousands) would suggest the entire world population is around 800,000, at the most (or at least that only 800,000 people, max, have suffered from a covid infection) and I was under the impression that they were saying that...

    Trial By Error: My Six-Month Review

    They confuse cause and effect all the time, which implies they don't understand the way the arrow points. So, with that mindset, time travel, not just easy, but virtually impossible not to do inadvertently.
