that was my first thought too. I reckon the most risk i'll be at this year, will be going for that jab! Glad i'm going to be offered it though

thats great @Rosie I think i am in same position as Peter & Wonko, sadly.

exactly this. its infuriating the equivalent thses days is mental health.... IAPT can only cope with mild issues, all complex cases (such as severe trauma related problems for example) that wont be amenable to a few sessions of CBT just get told - too complex sorry. So the milder cases get...

thats interesting @Rosie do you mind my asking what country you're in. I not sure what the situation is in uk

But those figures dont represent the number of infections, they represent the number of positive tests - which of course is dependent on howmany tests are taken. Its why the ONS figures are more reliable, because they are based on the same number of tests across the population. The local...

I use a standard walking stick like elderly people use, in fact it was my grandmother's stick. Its wooden or a branch or bamboo or something, with the top bent over like shepherd's crook for the handle. I couldnt manage without it. For balance and support. I dont always use it at home because i...

yes, there is this, imo ridiculous, thing about 'outdoors = safe'. As if outdoor air was full of disinfectant or something. Like people who wear gloves who act as though if they touch a contaminated surface with their gloves on, the gloves somehow prevent it from being transmitted to the next...

Yes. Also i was under the impression that in general, the fitter you are the lower your resting HR? If so then doesnt it stand to reason that unless the cohort was of only mild sufferers, the controls are likely to be fitter than the patients

would you mind if you have time explaining what that means Snow Leopard? I dont know what 'immune escape' is?

i really liked it @Sarah94 particularly impressed by how you got such concepts over in such a short story brilliant

Do we know if @Hilda Bastian is ok? I hope the reason for the silence isnt that she's not ok or something, i know she had that awful bereavement.

Awesome @PhysiosforME you are doing fantastic work, we are all so grateful to you. Your consistently humble recognition of how much we can learn from each other (despite your wealth of knowledge), & your collaborative attitudes, also really stand out to me - an example of how working together...

Yes i have read it before, it was some time ago, but i dont remember finding anything in it to be concerned about.

what a lovely tweet

Very well said @Lilas & if i may say very eloquent, i dont know why you believe your English isnt good! Its excellent if you ask me :)

Its funny i saw the title thread question slightly differently. So Yes But only because when i accepted that i was ill and swallowed the bitter pill of reality instead of trying to force my body into a different one, i stopped doing things that, as a person with ME are counter productive. So...

Well done Sarah! What level of scary is it? I dont generally like horror - i can cope with Dr Who but thats about my limit. If its the concept thats 'horrifying i can cope with that but i cant deal with violence/gore. If you gave it an age rating - like for a movie what would you say. Am...

from the study Brian is referring to... One imagines these are 'positivively associated' with Medically Explained symptoms too. If you are ill you stop being able to participate, & thus become more isolated. You also, well if you are rational & not a masochist, keep seeking healthcare (insert...

Looks ok i'm glad to see Chris Ponting there, Julia Newton's a bit of a loose cannon i'd have thought, not sure where she's at these days. I just so so wish they would include @Jonathan Edwards though, I'm concerned things might go off in an unhelpful direction - eg taking all biomed research...

yes... this is a true 'no shit Sherlock' type of study isnt it :D
