The iphone equivalent is Night Shift ( in settings under display)

There are more people seeking out old school phones so i’d expect that they might be better for simple screens but it all depends on what sort of interaction works best for him? Text? Call? NB sometimes the answer is to try email - less immediacy can be a good thing and the range of devices is...

I can’t help but imagine your skin is rather lovely - you’ll have had to take such good care of it over a lifetime. (My skin doesn’t burn as easily as it used to. I’m told it’s damage but it does make life a little easier too.) I forgot to mention: i don’t go out in the midday sun. I simply...

I stick to hats, long sleeved collared cotton shirts, and wrinkles. I do wish i’d found one that worked for me tho. Maybe i need to go full zinc oxide in shea butter…

Sorry, I’m no help there. It’s a fibreglass box we repurposed from something quite specialised. It even has ventilation slats. But there are a lot of plastic boxes sold so I imagine one would work for you. I must admit, it like that ours is more solid than that as plastic breaks down in UV...

We have a parcel box. It’s not locked but it looks like it would be. For the first few times it was 50/50 whether they put it in the box but now they do. We even have a ‘flag’ that we’ve asked them (a note inside the lid of the box) to put up when they’ve delivered something so we can look out...

phenylephrine as a nasal decongestant. Looks like your green toe pill needs the FDA. I agree with your analogy pointing out that a therapy really does need as much rigour as a pill.

Is there a transcript or slideshow version? (I’m very interested to understand this topic better and I just can’t manage to listen to this)

Did they look at / adjust for when in any female patients’ menstrual cycle samples were taken? (ETA: this might be a dumb question. I’m only asking because I recall that prostaglandin is related (some kind of feedback thing?) to progesterone which oscillates through the menstrual cycle - causal...

I have some Sony headphones, bought in 2016/17, which make a huge difference for me. I can’t compare them with anything else (apart from earplugs) because I never tried anything else (these were a loan that turned into a gift) tho. The warm ears thing really is a bit of a bother …but without a...

Yes. Had the vanishing after a good summer of sand and saltwater thing, was gone for a longish time but all back. It’s just one more thing to get around to mentioning again to do other (but too many things higher on the list) hope yours just goes, as they’re really supposed to. and sympathies...

“ It must last six months in adults and three months in children.” Needs “at least” between ‘last’ and ‘six’. (I noticed the same problem on health navigator today - suggesting to the uninitiated that ME/CFS tends to be a six month illness) I realised after I wrote this that we are now in...

Wanted to know what the SSS contained (Symptom severity scale): “To quantitate PEM, we chose the Specific Symptom Severity questionnaire (SSS) [9]. This questionnaire has nine domains, using a combination of 10-point Likert and visual analog scales for each domain. The nine domains are fatigue...

If this means: ‘reduce wait times so people get medical help right when they need it’ then great:thumbsup:. If it means ‘sick people need to get better faster’ or worse ‘all sick people need to get back to work within a deadline’ then :banghead::(

I’ve spent a lot of time with this too. The need to adapt and to develop the new skills suitable for my current capacity is …well, for me and for most like us, to make progress of some sort is what life is all about. (To the point where not having that makes life seem not worth living.) The...

That’s grim.:( Would be nice if people registering these names took a bit more time and thought.

https://www.cepr.net/report/understanding-and-addressing-long-covid/ I just found this by accident. Can’t see if anyone else has posted it. Quick skim shows they refer to ME/CFS and suggest a range of risk minimisation and resilience strategies. Nothing earth shattering but seems to actually...

I’d happily take a CPET that brought on PEM. I think there are a lot of us who have triggered PEM many times for much smaller reasons than the potential to actually find something treatable about this disease. The idea that I can avoid PEM in my life is a lovely one but not realistic due to many...

NZ has a long history in shoestring research in other fields than medicine coming up with useful results. There’s a great deal that can be done with educating volunteers, self administration with postal or courier delivery, instructional videos and zoom type sessions, etc etc. I’d love to think...

I thought this when I first got sick. Wore a tomtom touch for 2-3yrs in hopes my doctor might want to look at the data. Nope. (Obviously, that would just have been anecdotal in studying ME/CFS. But I always think people will want data. I would. Much prefer data to having to report things. So...
