Thanks, @Mij. It was fine when I posted it, I even answered it. Perhaps Twitter doesn't like Long Covid being looked at? There were a number of people responding when I last looked at it, everything seemed as sensible as you might expect (there's always somebody who disagrees - possibly they...

Oh, and Independent SAGE are maybe going to talk about Long Covid on Friday. It's always worth watching them anyway - an hour of sensible information and they answer questions from both the general public and journalists.

A Long Hauler on Twitter has put out a request for information from the ME/CFS/PVFS community.

Oh dear. So sorry to hear that @Rosie - another month of worry plus the worry of can you get the anaesthetist to understand too. Big hugs to you :hug: :hug: :hug: and hopes that next month things can go ahead. Please remind us when the time comes around - I'm a great believer that knowing your...

That abstract strikes me as being a way to pull the wool over the eyes of patients and "ordinary" people. Fill it full of words that any normal person won't understand. What on earth is "meta ethnography"? I looked it up and still have no idea of what it is and what its relationship to this...

Will be thinking of you tomorrow @Rosie. Here's a picture of the last of the nasturtiums from our Allotment. I hope the bright colours cheer you up and give you something pleasant to think about. Hugs from Wales. :hug: Last nasturtiums from our Allotment

You see them on the TV news all the time. I scream at them, but of course they can't hear me since they're on TV and I'm in my bedroom. But just as bad are the ones whose noses aren't covered, and whose mouths are covered but not well (you can see their upper lip). I noticed an awful lot of that...

Thank you very much to all of you who have given me helpful suggestions about Vit D. I'd like to bring this back on topic for @InitiialConditions, who is asking about deep leg pain. Dear @InitialConditions, I don't know if you think Vit D might be helpful? If not I'm very sorry for taking...

TB and syphilis are not viruses.

Some time ago (3 or 4 years ago?) I had bad pain in my left leg, front of shin I think. Asked my GP and she thought it might be Vit D deficiency. Blood test showed my Vit D was low, so she prescribed Vit D pills. I'm supposed to keep taking them, but the ones with calcium that were prescribed...

OMG there's a photo to scare the BeJesus out of everyone!!!

As a Green Party member I should contact her. But I don't have capability to right now. I've been thinking about this for around a year now, I think. My apologies to you all. Can't make any promise to make any contact soon. Feel bad about it, but takes more brainpower than I have to make a...

That doctor isn't very keen on the guidelines is he? :rofl: Can't wait to see his next episode! :) :party:

This is quite an interesting article on various symptoms and some of the research that is starting up. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/07/brain-fog-heart-damage-covid-19-s-lingering-problems-alarm-scientists

-2020July24-[Future%7c+Button]']The people with hidden immunity against Covid-19 This arrived in my inbox on 24th July, so not sure if it's been posted already. I regret to say I haven't had time to read it completely yet (life is chaotic since we arrived at the caravan) but it looks to me like...

I've rather given up reading every single Long Covid story that comes up on Google or Twitter, but my feeling is that there seem to be more stories from women than men. Perhaps it is just the press prefer to interview women about it, or men don't want to be interviewed about it? I may well be...

Which? (Consumer organisation in UK) has an article on making masks, and some suggestions about what kind are suitable and where to source them if you can't make your own (obviously a limited list, but could be useful to start with). I think it may be available for non subscribers, but can't...

I missed this the other day, but am about to watch it. If you go to their Twitter feed there are lots of tweets about the main points in this discussion.

Good luck with that! They wouldn't take me on as I wasn't in the governments list of vulnerable people despite me being 71 and OH is 74. And to compound my fury they emailed me THREE times to tell me, over 3 weeks. Basically the message was that unless you were a previous customer or on the...

This is UK specific, but it wouldn't surprise me if similar occurs worldwide with crop pickers. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-53381802
