Sadly, there are lots of people who are continuing to dismiss, reject, disparage, disbelieve and troll anyone who mentions Long Covid, ME, CFS, and PVFS. I found most of the opinions on this thread horrific. It's a public thread so it is not necessary to have a Twitter account to read it.

From personal experience I would suggest that gluten can cause this problem. My brain fog/ability to think gets worse if I eat gluten despite testing negative for Crohn's disease. My balance, which is also affected by the NPH I mentioned in my previous post, is also affected badly by gluten...

That is weird. In the UK the government was blaming almost every death on Covid-19 for several months. Since I don't keep up with Covid news I'm not sure if this is still true.

There is another kind of dementia that can be cured, or at the very least deterioration can be slowed down. It's estimated to be the cause of about 5% - 6% of cases of dementia. That condition is Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH). It is a condition that is normally associated with the elderly...

Could you describe your brain fog? I'm curious. I know at my worst that I struggled to read a recipe, prepare the ingredients and cook. I often found myself trying to do things in the wrong order, and found that, for example, if a recipe had 6 ingredients I might be able to read the 2nd, 3rd...

I've come across the term "foggy brain" in a thyroid research paper quite recently. I don't like it. I prefer the term brain fog. Once someone has suffered from it it can't be mistaken, in my opinion.

Maybe that explains why I have no energy and a rapidly deteriorating brain. I had my estradiol measured last year and it was so low that it was just reported as < 18 pmol/L - Range < 100 pmol/L. I got the impression they couldn't measure any more precisely than that when levels were so low.

Thought this might be of interest. ME/CFS gets mentioned. https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stop-gaslighting-chronic-illness-patients It appears to be very new. It reached 10 signatures only yesterday, and at time of writing has 649 signatures.

For those people (like me) who don't know what liminality means : Edit : I started reading the article, but even finding out what "liminal" means hasn't helped me to understand it.

Wow! That particular idea had passed me by!

This particular statistic can't be trusted. In 2003, when Cavanagh et al published it, the vast majority of researchers and doctors took it for granted that ME was a psychiatric condition. Just like at one time the vast majority of doctors and researchers believed women with MS were hysterical...

Can anyone translate? Does this mean 1) "Chronic illness is often explained with depression" ? 2) "Chronic illness is often explained by depression" ? 3) "Suicide is often explained with depression" ? 4) "Suicide is often explained by depression" ? I hate it when I can't understand what is...

But not me. I use as my yardstick the vaccinations I got as a child or young adult. I don't hear of outbreaks of (for example) diphtheria and whooping cough in the UK, and I was vaccinated against those. Before Covid-19 the fastest development of a vaccine from beginning to end was the one...

@Esther12 The quote in your post #4 is absolutely appalling! Turner-Stokes is utterly delusional.
