    LSD

    I used to use LSD and magic mushrooms quite a lot before ME, but I don't think I have used them since, except an inadequate amount of mushrooms some years back (wasn't enough to give me a proper trip). They both usually made me feel refreshed afterwards, and pretty good during the trip too...

    Excellent as ever, @Robert 1973. I'm afraid I don't have the mental energy to contribute, but hopefully some others will.

    George Monbiot on ME/CFS, PACE, BPS and Long Covid

    Sometimes I have the impression that the higher one's qualification, the more bullsh*t comes out of one's mouth (with a few exceptions, including @Jonathan Edwards). When in hospital I often found the nurses talked more sense than the doctors, again with exceptions. I had one nurse come and...

    George Monbiot on ME/CFS, PACE, BPS and Long Covid

    This reminds me - not sure why - of when I was in hospital with ME, and the high-and-mighty senior doctor ignored/pooh-poohed the apparently junior doctor with him who started to take an interest in what I was saying re my illness and to ask me more questions. I often wonder what happened to...

    Oxalates may be a problem for people with M.E.

    I avoid foods high in oxalates, I think - like spinach, and beetroot? I can't remember offhand whether it was due to oxalates, but I can't tolerate them. I didn't stop them because of something I read, but due to the actual effects, possibly on my digestion? I can't tolerate Brussels sprouts...

    Special Issue: Recent Advances in Faecal Microbiota Transplantation, 2021, Review article and call for submissions.

    Disappointingly, "However, there are several limitations of using FMT in treating neurological, mental, and psychological diseases: (1) for many diseases, the therapeutic effects of FMT are limited to animal models and isolated cases." "Despite the promising results, the rationale for the...

    Sorry but what's MM? Maybe I know but it won't come to mind at the moment.

    Resources for help getting food during quarantine and safe handling of food

    I'm afraid I don't have the energy to wipe things down, and only have a sink downstairs which contains washing-up and a cold tap in another room down a step. I tend to cook everything that hasn't been kept for a while, and try to be careful with post for at least a day, using rubber gloves to...

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    That sounds very unlikely (zero negative effects from the vaccine).

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    I think that I have immunity to just about everything, and that vaccines may worsen my condition. The reason I think so is that I rarely catch anything, and haven't for a long time. I used to get colds as often as anyone else, but stopped getting them years ago. I think that a larger portion...

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    Yes - I'm not having it unless I am forced to, due to auto-immunity that I think I have, as stated earlier.

    The biology of coronavirus COVID-19 - including research and treatments

    The error that jumps out at me - and that is the type I would probably make - is "opportunities is" rather than "opportunities it".
