I'm afraid I'm a pressure cooker hater. We got given one for a wedding present. It sat in a cupboard for around 35 years, and then I offered it on Freecycle. The lady who picked it up sent me an ecstatic email to say how much she loved it, and how fantastic its condition was. Hardly surprising...

The appendix is here.

The Grauniad has a better article about it, and does include a link to the actual paper in the New England Journal of Medicine. Can't say I'd want to take the risk, indeed have to keep refusing the blasted things. I think the placebo and nocebo stuff is over-egged by researchers. I don't...

Thank you so much for trying dear @Lucibee. :hug: :trophy@ It's really all we can do, isn't it? I wish I still had sufficient brain left to help out on stuff, but it went walk-about and doesn't show much sign of coming back anytime soon. I really appreciate all of the people who work so hard...

Most people who want to make a complicated argument on Twitter make a Thread. Confines on character limit is no excuse whatsoever.

Interesting article, but Ysbyty Glan Clwyd is in Denbighshire, not Bangor as it states near the beginning of the article!

Whereas it's mainly people who didn't go to hospital at least from what I can make out on Twitter. It really is difficult for these people, they aren't really getting help from anywhere, and because they didn't get tested they are told they didn't have Covid so they don't get any help. It's...

I've read some of the LC patients things on Twitter. Some are being refused scans and X-rays since "You didn't have a test for Covid". Yeah, because they were sick early on, and tests weren't available unless you were hospitalized. They were the people who were told to self isolate at home...

This article from the Grauniad is about shop bought masks, but has some interesting information in it that you sewing mavens might find useful.

Isn't a mere 3 female subjects rather a small number even for a pilot study? And I assume they're only using women from the hysteria point of view, so why bother with even a single man. Grrr. Pass me the sick bucket.

Watched Indie-SAGE yesterday. They have put together a 6 week plan starting with a 2 week school closure and the usual kind of other stuff. The interesting part is they have a plan of how to come out of the shutdown, something that doesn't seem to have been looked at by English government. In...

Farm to Fork has just re-started deliveries on Merseyside. We got our first delivery tonight since their shut down over summer. Looks good! Though some of it will be going in freezer (meat especially) as since my tooth extraction am limited to what I can chew still. Food box from Farm to Fork

Just starting to try and catch up on the Forum after unexpected tooth extraction last Thursday, day after travelling back to Liverpool from Wales on Wednesday. Brain not in good state, so although I've caught up on this thread, I can't tell if the recent stuff from FT has been put on here yet...

It's hardly surprising that a lot of ME patients suffer from Anxiety and Depression. It's normal, surely, to be anxious about losing your job - some people will have been in highly paid jobs, and will be worried about how to pay their Mortgage as one instance. I've been seeing a fair number of...

Glad the anaesthetic was OK for you dear @Rosie. Wishing you comfortable recovery and good results. Sending you "The Vibes" and love from Liverpool. xxx

His wife now a Dame. :banghead:

I remember reading about Post Polio Syndrome back when this paper came out. Back then it seemed to me to be very similar to ME. I still think that's the case. Post Polio is another viral post viral syndrome, it may be a bit different to ME, but in my view it's certainly in the same family.

Check out Danny Gregory for good ideas for drawing. He used to do a daily thing for drawing, though I think that's over now. His books (I love Everyday Matters) are good, and he does paid for lessons online, along with other artists. Never tried the online classes as I'm not really well enough...

OH made a donation on his 75th Birthday. :)
