    ME Epidemiology - prevalence and peak ages of onset

    I know I do not have a science back ground but HORMONES!!! Puberty and pregnancy have huge hormonal shifts which also require co factors, pathways etc. Perimenopause can also start in 30s with shifts in estrogen production. Iodine deficiency is seemingly common, B12 and magnesium are required...

    Want to learn about neurology

    When I jumped in at the deep end for uni a few years ago, I tackled the module I would have felt least confident with ( electrical systems) on the basis if I passed that I would cope (!) I used YouTube and Kahn Academy for a lot if the basics as I found 10 min videos were ideal for me in "...

    Autism and ME/CFS

    ADD is slightly different from ADHD ( doesn't t have the hyperactive part, if anything less active and engaged). A friend's daughter was recently diagnosed at 21 with ADD. Noone picked up on it. Idiosyncracies were simply out down to her personality until she could not cope at uni.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy "Evidence-Base" Is Exaggerated (Psychology Today)
