Makes no sense to me. Fair enough small people may have smaller lungs, so breathe out less air, but they also run around a lot more than larger people, so presumably need more lung fulls of air to do so - so that aspect would probably balance. Add to that that in all the running around they...

Pacing is easy - if I feel significant vertigo, or one side of my body stops responding, I should have stopped everything 2 hours ago. Not that I do things for hours you understand, I do little sub tasks, preparation etc, and split tasks into multiple bits, resting in between, but I still...

erm...I thought we were only at 5-7% penetration (someone on BBC news earlier today) and herd immunity couldn't possibly kick in until 60% at the lowest.... Add to that the possibility that acquired immunity may not last longer than a few months. And of course the 'possibilities' opened up by...

My food parcel has arrived and it's 'better'. Variations on the typical parcel I receive include; I got wholemeal bread. I got tinned fruit (unfortunately in syrup but it can be rinsed) I got tinned peas (unfortunately one large tin, so really convenient for veg for a main meal for 7 days)...

Depends - but all of the above options have occurred at some point. Sometimes food will 'perk' me up, sometimes alcohol will also do so. Sometimes it will make me feel worse, and shut me down. Sometimes it can make me feel better but then I find out I've been unconscious for a 'while'...

Bearing in mind that sainsbury's is/was charging me a tenner for 3 months midweek deliveries (so up to to 36 but more realistically 4-6 deliveries) paying £4.50 per delivery would simply mean less orders for the same amount of shopping. Which would equal more sick days for delivery drivers, as...

This is clearly a mistake, a conflagration(?) of the 'hypnotoad' of urban legend with another popular urban legend that toads cause, and cure, warts has been morphed into - hypnosis cures warts.

I had occasion to look at Sainsburys online offerings last night. Things have not improved, in fact the range of items I could buy have shrunk, drastically e.g. what was 3 pages of tinned meats is now 7 items. What's left seems to have gone up in price by considerably more than nominal...

That attitude may change. After my successful test trip to the post office last week I went again today. I probably saw about 200 people on the bus trip and the short distance between the bus station and the post office. Only one person was wearing a mask. Me. Several others had masks, but...

I find this alarming. ME is G93.3, not CG53. PVFS is G93.3, not CG53 The whole co-opting the name and chopping and changing it around seems to have resulted in a classification error, obviously accidental. I was diagnosed with PVFS G93.3 (I was shown this and the difference between this and...

Unfortunately I suspect they will do as they have always done, which as a first step involves either plan A (deny that long covid has any objective reality - this they already seem to be attempting) or plan B (if/when plan A fails then split off the group that has post covid symptoms - to...

I am awaiting the statement from BPS lobby that the term 'long haul covid' is medically inaccurate, as none of these people are any longer than they were previously, few have hauled anything that can be proven in standard medical tests, and that the standard widely used covid tests have not been...

Last Thursday I had to go out, so wore a mask for longer than a few minutes. It was uncomfortably hot on the bus going into town, but within 10 minutes was perfectly comfortable (hot day, bus had windows shut, I was in a mid weight coat on a hot day, couldn't have helped). By that time even my...

I am convinced that 'they' have known about long term symptoms after a virus infection since at least the spanish flu. So all the disdain, disbelieve, medical, social and welfare abuse were premeditated acts of policy, and not ignorance. 'They' knew that something that resembles ME existed and...

I do not own a skirt. Now I've got to buy a skirt? (I may still have a kilt in the loft somewhere if that's an acceptable substitute - but I'm pretty sure it would be impossible to put on over my head, so maybe not)

Do many people live in therapists offices tho? It's one thing coming up with new ways to think and to do things, to effectively change who you are and how you react, in a therapists office, but quite another once you come into contact real life, with other people. It is 'likely' that any...

I cannot read the linked article as it requires me to either turn off my ad blocker or sign in using a social media account, and I do not feel inclined to allow it to place tracking cookies on my pc, or use those provided by social media platforms. So two thirds of people who catch covid-19...

I am not qualified to give an opinion but it occurs to me that possibly the people taking very high doses of B12 might have been doing so for a reason, and that it may not have been taking high doses of B12 that killed them, even indirectly. It might, just possibly, have been whatever the...

Virtually anyone who's ever used google maps GPS on a smartphone should have been able to tell them that the app idea was 'silly'. The reason that some countries got it to work was simple, a much more connected infrastructure, with virtually everyone, and every home, having built in internet...

Blood sugar going up is a normal response to 'illness' - apparently happens to everyone, diabetic or not. Not at all unusual. It also tends to happen in the morning, wake up, liver starts pumping out the damn stuff just to help you cope with all the tigers it thinks may exists in your living room.
