    The NHS says these are the 20 most painful health conditions you can suffer from - Cambridge News Mar 2019

    I think many things can be more or less severe. You might have had mild shingles and very severe gout. For me, the absolute worst pain I have ever had, and never want to have again, was sciatica caused by an extruded disc. :arghh: I still carry oxycodone in my purse, just in case.

    Minister targets anti-vaccination websites - BBC March 2019

    There is an article in my local paper today that say a boy nearly died of tetanus and incurred over $800,000 in medical bills because he had not been vaccinated. I had never heard anything against tetanus vaccine. I gave it to my horses and myself for years. That is a fairly low number. It...

    A lot of fancy donuts cost a dollar or more now. ;) Your showing your age. Or a variety of other things. Anti-depressants seem to be doctors' favorite toy right now.

    How is your motor control?

    Mine is fair. I can still use knives. If I don't prepare food, no one will. I drop and fumble a lot of stuff - on the counter, on the stove, on the floor, on my clothes. :(

    New proof that narcolepsy is an autoimmune disease

    It's been long enough ago that I am not sure, but I think it was the try to fall asleep for 20 minutes 3 times thing. I did not fall asleep, so they said I did not have narcolepsy. I think they called it a sleep latency test.

    New proof that narcolepsy is an autoimmune disease

    The sleep lab I was at had several rooms so that they could test several people at one time. They did warn us that one person was coming in late. They arrived just as I was dropping off to sleep. They made quite a bit of noise, which woke me up and I was not able to get back to sleep. The day...

    New proof that narcolepsy is an autoimmune disease

    The last time I saw my doctor, she said that she thought my sleep problems were caused by narcolepsy. According to my sleep test, I do not have narcolepsy. However I did not sleep during the night part of the test. That may have caused problems with the day part (narcolepsy) test.

    Any experiences with chronic sinusitis?

    @johnny_Drama You need to get anti-fungal medication up into you sinuses using a sinus irrigator, not a nasal irrigator. Swabs are not a reliable test because the infection may be farther up in the sinus than the swab can reach. I think most of the discussion of this is over on PR.

    HOMELESS: How AMMES is Keeping People with ME in their Homes

    I am surprised and appalled that landlords are permitted to evict someone when the temperature is well below freezing. :mad: It wouldn't take long to die of hypothermia in a car.

    One-sided weakness

    I agree that it is not normal and not typical of ME (if there is such a thing as typical ME). Do you have a doctor you can see? It might be a good idea.
