Does anyone else just eat natto anyway? I've been eating some usually once a week or so for quite some years. I'm sure that's not the dosage in whatever these supplements are, but... why don't they study effects of natto eating for comparison? Sign me up! I love natto but these supplements and...

"Insurance medicine" LOL. I am going to think of that whenever I see "CBT" now, along with a range of other key terms.

Honestly are there meetings where they come up with this stuff? "If we can get access to the post-surgical patients, we can get anything!"

They are only looking for people who have ever experienced any improvement? There is a gift card at stake!

I had ME/CFS originally diagnosed following glandular fever. I can't remember how long I had been ill for but it was over 6 months and less than a year. It seemed to be common knowledge that you can develop ME afterwards. This was like 20 years ago. What has happened?

I also think the severe ME page is a good development but it's just quite hard (imo) to navigate to. Is it just me? Maybe it would be possible for them to give it more prominence and make it more obvious it's there?

People benefiting from "pulmonary rehabilitation" after covid must have had very different chest problems than I did. The phrase makes me shudder. This would have made me so much worse and I had to stop seeing the specialist, who kept pushing forms of exercise despite that. I realized that...

Sorry to hear you have not been well after covid. I hope you are improving and that it's not too bad. Love :heart: This event looks really interesting; I look forward to any uploaded videos. Thanks to all who organized it and took part.

In some ways I wonder if Biden saying the pandemic was over was a good thing? (Am I finally losing it?) I have seen more pushback against this and coverage of the fact that it is not over than I have in a long time. Many people seem to see that it is manifestly not over, and it got more focus on...

"unnecessary treatment escalation in MS" - particularly chilling phrase

Update: I have completed the questionnaire and been selected to take part, which is a strange feeling. I was in the middle of worrying I hadn't described my case accurately enough. So I wanted to write about that. I found it harder to do the questionnaire than I thought as I really had to...

Does anyone have access to the full text in the BMJ? Did they actually mention and contextualize ME/CFS?

Thank-you! Phew! I started to worry I had missed it after all the waiting! Glad it's progressing. :heart:

Sorry if this has been asked; I have not been feeling up to completing the questionnaire - when is the deadline? Did I miss it? Thanks in advance.

Is there any hope of a vaccine that will prevent infection (a good amount) someday?

How does this relate to the long covid services UCH was/is running? :(

"The entire fatigue experience"? Ketamine? Okay.

I wish instead of stuff like this we had articles about e.g. trying to understand the mechanisms behind post-exertional malaise, which is actually what is needed. This just seems wishywashy and contributes to a "medical mystery" narrative of ME/CFS as a cluster of non-specific symptoms and...

Sorry but this is an amazing article title. Self-parody.

So, is it not the case that there's a chance these intranasal vaccines will be more effective in preventing infection? (For some other reason?) I thought I saw a claim that there was some demonstrated superiority (needing more evidence)?
