    Vulvodynia; next target "MUS" for ACT

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

    I think this (rather long) article does a good job of looking at both sides and concluding that the lab was the most likely source. https://thebulletin.org/2021/05/the-origin-of-covid-did-people-or-nature-open-pandoras-box-at-wuhan/

    Investigating reduced tolerance to alcohol in ME?

    Yet another reason to wonder if I really do have ME.... Overall, my tolerance of alcohol has decreased exactly in line with my age. There have always been times when I wouldn't know I've had a drink and other times when one standard drink wipes me out. I suspect this is quite normal and...

    What is an engaging, informative, short, accurate description for ME/CFS?
