I've also read of people receiving donations from overweight or obese people who have then ended up with the same weight issue. I've also read that if the donor tends to suffer from depression or anxiety, that that can also potentially be passed along to the recipient.

I was going to say 'don't eat too many'. Been there - done that! :eek:

Enough said. That guy is a nut.

Arnie Pye, my mom was told the same thing after she complained about hip pain in the area of her hip replacement. :banghead:

I don't even think that a higher dose of the antibiotic is necessary. They found that people did just as well taking the antibiotic for half the number of days providing that the antibiotic was working and they were symptom free for a couple of days before stopping taking it...

I believe that these are things that they can actually see from looking at the back of the eyes.

Thanks for the explanation, Trish. I don't know if we have home service here in my part of Canada. So it isn't actually an optometrist who does the eye exam but an optician. Is it just a sight test you are given or are they checking for diseases also? Things like brain tumours? high blood...

@erin You should definitely get that checked out if you haven't done so already. As Cheesus said it could be edema, but you also want to make sure that it isn't a blood clot.

FB is notorious for posts not showing up for days on some people's newsfeed or pages, or going missing and then showing up again later on.

I think that this is normal. If you look at a person's diet, within a few weeks of changing what you eat will greatly affect your microbiome. I watched a show a few years ago about gut bacteria, and they had someone who ate a lot of fruits and veggies change their diet to eating McDonald's food...

Yes, however, I think in my case it is age related and most definitely computer related. I don't think that ME has anything to do with my blurry eyesight. Most of the blame there lies with the internet and ME forums and FB.

I went through about a 10 year period where I was forever getting coughs for no reason. They would last weeks to months and then go away just as suddenly as they started. Touch wood I haven't had them for a while now. My sister occasionally got them also and she didn't have ME so I'm not sure if...
