Did you have a viral infection at the time you were vaccinated? I was vaccinated with several vaccines during a viral infection when I got ME. I'm not vaccinated yet, but have no problem getting the doses once my current viral infection is gone.

https://www.healthline.com/health-news/can-we-mix-and-match-covid-19-vaccines-experts-say-not-yet#Not-the-first-time-vaccine-mixing-is-attempt I've read that they've also had better outcomes mixing vaccines for the Ebola virus.

It is the same cluster in the same province.

@Binkie4 It appears that the COV study is referring to side-effects of the vaccine. This doctor was speaking specifically about improved efficacy of mixing doses because Canada has put another pause on AZ.

On state news this morning (CBC), an infectious disease doctor was saying that mixing vaccines could be more beneficial than administering the same vaccine. He mentioned another type of vaccine for a different illness that did just that. I didn't hear too well on what that illness was.

He's offering what he has, but making it appear that it’s more than what it is. I would rather hear that they're making progress in treating symptoms than getting people's hopes up and continue to say "cure". I feel it diminishes the seriousness of this illness.

Mine are generally on the low/normal side. They don't represent how I feel.

If your GP goes strictly by reference range then you might be in trouble if you're not receiving your lab results. A ferritin reference range of 12 to 150 ng/mL is not a good indicator. Anything below 20 is the first sign that I don't feel right. I feel best at 50+. Maybe it's just me...

How is it that some of us have more 'available energy' on some days and not so much on others? Why is it that sometimes when I start out on my walks my legs are not wanting to hold me up and wobbly? It's like I have MS legs. Then as I get going, my gait becomes smoother and I'm able to...

@Arnie Pye Apparently, copper deficiency is rare. It goes to show that our minerals, amino acids and fatty acids are not being absorbed properly. I had the profile of someone who was malnourished despite eating a very healthy diet and drinking fresh veggie juices every day. I took...

The odd thing is that my periods were always light too. Since menopause, my ferritin is now steady at 95. My GP kind of laughed when I was surprised to see my ferritin so high, not understanding that my periods were always light. I should also add that my copper (ceruloplasmin) which...

My sister has Hashimoto and takes iron regularly to keep her ferritin in range.

I have experienced, ME loss of available energy (for lack of a better explanation) and need to lie down, very low ferritin fatigue (weepy type of tired fatigue), and now menopause full stop unable to walk another step fatigue. They ALL feel different. My healthy (now 60 yr old)...

A doctor finally tested my ferritin a few years into ME and my level was at 4. I took iron supplements regularly for years. My doctor didn't understand why my levels dropped so quickly and later realized that I had absorption issues, and undiagnosed h pylori. I felt a different type of...

There is nothing remarkable. "Is Long-Covid stirring up other underlying chronic infections?" Dr. Hyman going to try to sell you his books by subscribing to his newsletters on 'treatment' and lifestyle changes, and how he cured himself of 'CFS' that could help LC pts.

Virios currently holds 20 patents that include composition of matter, a unique synergy patent and method of use patents for FM, IBS & CFS patents. as well as Functional Somatic Syndrome (recently renamed the Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD). These additional chronic conditions represent a...

Long-Haulers beware of what's in store for them:
