    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.

    Orthostatic intolerance

    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...

    Long-term changes in wearable sensor data in people with and without Long Covid, 2024, Jennifer M. Radin et al

    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...

    Long-term changes in wearable sensor data in people with and without Long Covid, 2024, Jennifer M. Radin et al

    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.

    Why can't hospital outpatient clinics cope with patients who can't sit for long in the waiting room? Or can they?

    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...
