    Comforting factors that influence the severity of fatigue and other somatic symptoms from the perspective of CFS, 2020, Overgaauw

    On a personal level (N-1) I would find a having few million quid quite soothing. It would certainly help relieve some of the stressors in my life, a lot of which are caused by my not having a few million quid. A lot of the other stressor, not all, but a lot. could be reduced by having a few...

    Exploring the concept of vigor and dys-vigor in men of 50-65 years: effects of Robuvit®, 2020, Ledda et al

    I am left with the questions; Medically speaking what is 'vigor', and how is it measured? (I am aware of the common usage of 'vigorous', normally meaning over enthusiastic and non sustainable activity i.e. vigorous activity may be undertaken for minutes, but not for weeks - I'm just not aware...

    Pacing - what do you do/how would you describe it?

    The problem with trying to assess the condition and reliability of a possibly faulty brain, using that brain is....lol I can be completely out of it cognitively and have no clue, until something happens that my brain can't handle, like trying to get a bath and forgetting the way I have pretty...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    It seems possible that having an invading enemy force, (we, and the US, are seemingly at war with the virus after all) or billions of them, inside the US national security adviser, is a threat to US national security that cannot be tolerated. It probably could also be seen as indicating a...

    A Proposal for Explaining Progression from Light/Moderate to Severe Chronic Fatigue, 2020, Höck

    Vitamin K2 (don't remember which type, think it was the longer lasting one) helped with the joint and other pain, allegedly cursed by the 'mobilisation' of something or other. But as I said, I raised my levels from '11' (of whatever the UK units are - test said anything below 25 was sub range...

    Advice on mask-wearing to protect against Covid-19

    Someone really should design and produce a version with holes in to make breathing and talking easier, possibly with a fan attached to help keep peoples faces cooler ;)

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    Welllll..... Government finds out R value in Spain is 'high' so decides to implement a 14 day quarantine on those returning to the UK from Spain. Do they do this in a sensible manner, given the situation was/is that anyone coming back from when they found out the R value was higher than they...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    Covid-19 - Psychological research and treatment

    Given that whether an outbreak is in progress is decided upon on the basis of positive test results in an area I fail to see how this could in any way be the case. Flagrant distortion of reality. Otherwise known as a barefaced lie.

    A Proposal for Explaining Progression from Light/Moderate to Severe Chronic Fatigue, 2020, Höck

    Shockingly 'fixing' vitamin D status did not cure my ME, or anything else, and it was pretty low - and the process was at times excruciating.

    UK - Resources for help getting food during quarantine and other supermarket related problems

    We may need to urgently increase the education budgets in the UK My food parcel arrived and once I remembered that (found it in the hall where I had left it after bringing it inside) I found this ; This is a tin of meat, it's been supplied as one anyway. Granted it may contain the same...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    Probably not. I'd imagine it's more like; Not admitted to hospital = no proof of illness no proof = deranged liar deranged liar = needs CBT (or local equivalent)

    BPS attempts at psychologizing Long Covid

    We have tiger repelling rocks, of various types, that work, mostly. The trick is to make them really quite large. The biggest were left lying around the middle of Europe a while ago - quite effective, although it's rumoured the odd elephant has got through, elephants aren't tigers. Also...

    Chronic fatigue syndrome may hold keys to understanding post-Covid syndrome: David Tuller and Steven Lubet July 21, 2020

    You are both right ;) Unfortunately we live in a world with vested interests, so one side, the side that lumped everything together, will probably now try and split off post covid from the rest, in order to remain 'right' in their eyes, and try and hold on to their reputations and power...

    Cochrane Database Syst Review - Psychosocial interventions for conversion and dissociative disorders in adults (2020) Ganslv et al.

    erm...surely not 'all the significant causal factors' but only the ones that fit with whatever pseudoscience they are currently promoting? As otherwise they may note that poverty and poor work conditions etc can influence health, to the degree that they actually try and do something about them...

    NICE Statement about graded exercise therapy in the context of COVID-19

    Got a different name innit. (and obviously specialists/experts can therefore treat several related if not identical things as completely different - coz - they's got different names so they must be different.)

    Waking up in the night and hearing a brain-generated sound

    I'm still getting the phantom door buzzer. Waking me up. Happened a couple of nights ago. Only problem is that the door buzzer was turned off, so it couldn't have gone off.

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    From the above link This is obvious and shouldn't require a Professor to point out. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/ Looking at the figures the 'Recovered' figure has been zero and has now shifted to N/A - so he is correct, officially no one in the UK has recovered from...
