Having got into true crime TV documentaries I’m now discovering the world of true crime podcasts. NB these aren’t necessarily the best idea if you’re feeling low (would increase perception of the world as a dark place I expect) but they are absorbing for times of being bored sick of being sick...

I wonder how common temporary deafness is?

Yes this is what I assume it is (glue ear is this type of problem, so something I’ve always been prone to). I can empathise with this :(

I’ll edit vertigo in

I’d refer to it as sick on Sick but I think it’s very interwoven for me eg both things probably related to immune dysfunction. I think if I hadn’t had ME I’d have fought off the viral infection before it caused permanent inner ear damage. If I didn’t have ME, my brain would consistently ignore...

I’ve added tinnitus

As an aside I’m trying out the Low Fodmap diet. Digestive pain was getting so intense I was starting to skip meals/ need liquid food. During the elimination phase the intense, inflammation style pain went and I felt like I slept more deeply. I’m now doing the reintroduction phase. I’ll write...

I’m posting this poll out of curiosity but I’m also hoping for some new tips for myself in the thread. Do you have ear problems? I’ve had ear problems since before I can remember. I had really bad glue ear when I was young. It was bad enough that I stopped speaking because I couldn’t hear and...

I think I've added all suggestions so far into the first post.

Are these all 'Sciencey'?

Ah yes, RNA, must have been foggier the other day!

I’m intending to come back, add some comment and add everyone’s titles into the first post, but before I go for today here are a few more audiobooks I enjoyed: I found this entertaining. I think some pwme might get very frustrated with the idea that she has chosen to stay in bed...

I’m going to add some comment and links later but here are some I like taken from screenshots to save energy These are podcasts I listen to on Stitcher Audio long reads are long Guardian essays read aloud, usually topical. Science is science news from the Guardian More or Less is fact...

Freakonomics is very interesting, I listen to that too. It’s basically economics made interesting. This American Life is American people’s lived stories. That’s also one I follow.

@ScottTriGuy what are those about and which categories should they go under?

Also what do you use to listen to content? https://www.stitcher.com/ I’ve listened to 700 hours of podcasts in the last 18mths on Stitcher. Some of my links will be stitcher links but you can also find many of these podcasts elsewhere. The idea is you stitch together the podcasts to create the...

There is an excellent thread on TV shows in this forum: https://www.s4me.info/threads/tv-shows.483/ There doesn’t seem to be an equivalent for audio content though. In my experience of ME there are times when audio is the only accessible form of entertainment. My intention is for this first...

Eg as discussed in this video, Are these molecules in the serum?

This isn’t something I know anything about. Are the molecules too big to be the elusive factor Ron Davis is trying to pinpoint?

@Esther12 there’s nothing wrong in being sceptical- I’m sceptical about it too and usually I do ignore rat models and just don’t have the energy to read much TCM stuff. There’s something about this that caught my interest though. I also think we might need to guard against a cultural prejudice...
