    What's happening with my body in middle of night?

    I have experienced something vaguely similar on a few occasions, but I can't offer any ideas or suggestions. It started with my waking up vomiting, after a it happened on a few occasions I would wake up just before, when it was in my throat. I spotted a pattern, sort of, it generally followed...

    Ketogenic diet

    My body, and I assume others, has a tendency to turn any 'excess' protein into sugars, very, very rapidly.

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    My understanding is that it's exactly the same thing if a vaccine is produced - a vaccine is simply an artificial way of obtaining herd immunity with, hopefully, a lower death rate.

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

    I believe that they are currently bagging stuff so that it can be left for 'quarantine' for a while before unpacking, but I haven't dealt with Tescos so couldn't swear to it. But if they aren't then contact free deliveries even to a ground floor house would take ages, simply for them to take...

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

    Based on my recent experience, and some prior experience that's not all that relevant (pre covid-19), it seems the drivers pretty much do what they please, although not more than advertised by the store. So if the store says, as some used to, that they will bring it in to your home, then some...

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

    That's simple - the items that were on the empty shelves, in the empty aisles, those are necessary. If they weren't, according to the popular opinion (which seems to be what counts), then they wouldn't have all been bought. The ones on the full shelves, in the full asiles - those aren't. So...

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

    I was under the impression that virtually everything a supermarket sold was 'necessary' - although maybe not as a single item, given the purpose of a trip out for shopping. So, strictly speaking marjoram isn't a necessary item (virtually no nutrition) but if you've also got mince etc. in your...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    Less welding equipment is required here - when the Chinese authorities say don't go out they meant it, and were reported to be welding doors shut.

    I could amend as normal on my last order, about a week ago. You can/could amend up until 11pm on the day before delivery. Nothing I've seen suggests this has changed.

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

    Has this, in fact, actually been, established, as a fact? Coz it's not the same thing as saying that a virus triggered responses that led to ME. It's stating, as known fact, that ME IS an overactive immune response. Which, you'd think' would be dead easy to detect. And it hasn't been AFAIK.

    Crowdfunding: Trial By Error: [David Tuller] Reporting on ME, CFS, "medically unexplained symptoms," and related stuff, 2020

    The glitch seems obvious. The buttons on the front page set the amount in the text box, and also select the appropriate 'perk' radio box. The radio boxes do absolutely nothing, they should be linked to the amount to donate, as a primary function. However - they seem to have changed the...

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

    I would think, and I am probably wrong, that there were no organisations doing this, prior to this. It seems likely that it's being done, either by charities or voluntary organisations, with no prior experience, and very limited supplies. The only existing model I am aware of in the UK is food...

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

    If it was coming from a food bank type place it will have been 3 days worth, and 'standard procedure' (for food banks) suggests a new application/voucher will need to be submitted to get more. As it looked like 3 days worth.......it was actually less than the trussell trust say they give in a 3...

    turn it off (important but often missed step it seems). towels, more towels, couple of bowls/pans of boiling water inside, change water every 10 minutes or so - depending on the size of your freezer all the ice should just drop off into the bottom within 20 or so minutes. No need to scrape, if...

    I have all of those ingredients, that need using up (other than milk but from the sounds of it not a lot is needed). I am assuming, as no pastry is mentioned, that it's cottage/fish pie style, with the cheese and leek bit in the bottom topped with mash?
