Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to identify potential changes in cardiorespiratory fitness among athletes who had previously been infected with SARS-CoV-2.
Methods
In this prospective observational multicenter hybrid study (CoSmo-S), cardiopulmonary exercise testing on treadmills or...
We found overlap of genetic influences on hot flashes and psychiatric conditions (e.g., depression), which might help to explain why antidepressant medications are sometimes helpful for hot flashes, and why hormonal treatments are sometimes helpful for depression
I know a few people (one pwME) who get regular medical hydro/water massage to treat pain. It has prevented them from taking meds. It works for some with chronic joint, musculoskeletal pain. But it's not very practical for those who are housebound and might make pain worse.
Abstract
Background Most women experience hot flashes (hot flushes) during the menopause transition. Menopausal hot flashes typically persist for years. For a sizeable minority of women, hot flashes are severe and substantially impairing. It is worthwhile to further investigate the genetic...
Long Covid sufferer's call for better support
A doctor from Leeds who developed long Covid and the debilitating effects of ME has said NHS patients like her have been “left to rot”.
Becky Williams, 34, first caught Covid in March 2020 and has been left house-bound ever since, with her symptoms...
I did hydro massage therapy during Covid infection for leg muscle exhaustion. Only my legs were in the water. It was temporary relief but felt good and I was able to stand and walk around for an hour.
A new large-scale, meta-analysis, suggests hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can control insulin resistance in healthy, post-menopausal women. This finding could help guide the use of HRT, something that has long been controversial but could apparently have substantial benefits for certain...
Abstract
Background: With limited pharmacological interventions, post-COVID-19 condition is a clinical challenge, and supplementary therapies are essential for symptom relief and enhancing quality of life (QoL).
In our prospective observational study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of Salus...
Highlights
Role of domestic animals in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
High genetic recombination events in pet cats and dogs.
Spill over of VOC to household pets from their infected owners.
Human – household pet association might be the cause of another outbreak

Back in the early 70s we lived on a farm near a German family farm in Germany. They had a dog named Kiki that I played with and he was covered with several live ticks. I recall he had difficulty walking for long periods of time.
Dr.Jonathan Edwards reminded me that OI causes low BP so I don't have OI. My BP has been normal my entire M.E journey- 33yrs. The orthostatic impairment started after I had a relapse from taking immune modulators reactivating EBV and HHV6. That was 10yrs post M.E onset. Maybe I have...
That 9 months timeframe is interesting. I've read several accounts on X from pwLC saying they improved completely after 9 months. I felt completely recovered 9 months after my sudden viral M.E onset in 1992. The endocrinologist who did the thyroid scan told me I would most likely recover...
I don't think that post 30 days of having Covid would be a good indicator of having Long Covid. My RHR was up at least 4-6 months after contracting Covid. I didn't return to my baseline for at least 6-8 months.
Abstract
To better understand the impact of Long COVID on an individual, we explored changes in daily wearable data (step count, resting heart rate (RHR), and sleep quantity) for up to one year in individuals relative to their pre-infection baseline among 279 people with and 274 without long...
The direct-to-consumer medical testing industry is booming, with the global market predicted to reach more than US$9 billion by 2033. Genetic tests are increasingly available—with ten new ones entering the market every day—as well as biochemical tests for markers associated with health or...
Stand-off at A&E . . .
Frustrated patient was involved in a stand-off with staff in a busy A&E after his friend brought in a mattress for him to lie down on.
The makeshift bed was dragged into the middle of the emergency unit at Ashford’s William Harvey Hospital as the man grew tired of...
My concern living in Canada are the long wait times in the ER, over 15hrs+, patients are choosing not to go. I would chose not to go unless I'm transported by ambulance for a very serious issue.
A nurse on X wrote recently that she left her shift to go home and came back the next day to...
