Let's just hope that their 'advice' isn't dangerous dogmatic hogwash.

This is at variance from a letter I received from my towns mayor this morning. "The council understands that government will be writing to people classed as clinically extremely vulnerable detailing the support that will be available with shopping and other basic needs. This will be via the...

I can see a massive flaw in the above argument. No, one, takes, one, aspirin. Aspirin also isn't great for headaches, not mine anyway, ibuprofen or paracetamol work better, in at least pairs. BTW is he saying that aspirin is a placebo?

Slight change in ASDAs charges for priority customers. I was informed of this when I went to amend an order today, that had been been booked over a week ago. Prior to today, on this existing, booked, order, for the 5th of November, there was no delivery charge, but today, there is now a £2...

Am I misunderstanding something? Have they found that, contrary to the alleged normal experience of healthy people, if they take someone who has damaged joints (due to say arthritis) and make them pointlessly and repeatedly mobilise that joint, then these people report an increase in pain...

But we already have a term for those who are vulnerable to coronavirus, who are 'anxious' about the effects, and who are uncertain as to what will happen. We call them 'the living'. We also have a terms for those who are not concerned, who have no anxiety about how coronavirus will affect...

Lightning is always quiet, silent in fact. If you study lightning in isolation, (not in a vacuum lol) then you would have no idea why seconds to minutes later there would be sound. The problem is made more difficult because lightning is hard to study, it's difficult to run experiments on...

So they are specifically excluding any similarities with ME? So according to my reading of this they will deliberately ignore anything that suggests that people with long covid may end up with ME, no matter if they meet the diagnostic criteria (fully, including the exclusion criteria). Not...

This paints an even worse picture. Currently says 153,000 covid related deaths by February 1st. A couple of weeks ago it said 134,000 - so the trend, of the predictions, is...not good. https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-kingdom?view=total-deaths&tab=trend This is linked to off the...

It seems that currently long covid is applied to anyone who doesn't recover in the officially approved time - so say a month, any longer and they have 'long covid'. As far as I am aware many people are recovering (at least apparently) within 3 months - so covid, then a post viral period, then...

Seems so. (Not a medical opinion merely a personal one)

One of my first memories, if not the first reasonably solid memory, is from when I was about 3, of RLS. I am also male. It is therefore unlikely I was entering the menopause. Last time they were checked my ferritin levels were really quite high, over 1000, so, as I was still having the...

As far as I know the body only has two methods of handling excess and unused glucose. It can either be excreted, or ut can be absorbed/converted into fat. A possible hypothesis as to why some people get fat and some don't, or even get thinner, in the situation where glucose isn't being used...

A pwME will put on more fat if eating 5kg of cake a week than someone who doesn't have ME, even with exactly the same activity levels?

I'm fairly sure that they have never said deconditioning is the primary cause. What they say is that its a perpetuating factor, that continues disability once yhe primary cause has resolved.

I thought that was known virtually from the start. I remember graphics showing outbreaks in Italy and a few other places tracking air pollution levels and I'm fairly sure they were only a month or so in.

Last night i had hollow depleted heavy burning in the muscles on top of my arms/shoulders, both of them, from thinking on the sofa. So not just legs lol

Doh!!! UK policy would seem, assuming that those deciding on it aren't very, very stupid, to be engineered to promote the spread of not just this virus, but of all viruses. Schools, eat out to help out, distribution of those likely to be infected through care homes, lack of PPE for both the...

Is there, in fact, a mental health emergency? If so, why? I hear people who've been primed going on about it, and quite a lot of people will be feeling stressed, about jobs, money, homes etc. - but...and this is important - this is a perfectly natural response to a stressful situation, albeit...

It sounds like an extremely efficient way of making sure everyone gets infected, even if only one was to start with.
