...infections like zits and styes which involved inflammation and are again symptomatic of TH2 shift. Even today I have episodes of asthma and migraine as part of a cycle which I attribute to increased histamine release in my body, which some theories ascribe to mast cells becoming overactive...

...onset the only times I was impelled to lie down by illness were with a couple of episodes of flu and, to a certain but lesser extent, with migraines. I've had migraines since childhood (still get them, though not as frequently as I used to back then). While preferring to lie down is common...

Broadly agree from my experience of Long Covid: first few months featured significant fatigue and generally feeling dreadful and fuzzy in the brain, but the OI/PEM stuff (including the urgent need to lie flat at times) didn't develop until months 3-5 ish. I generally prefer resting sitting in a...

You’ve just described decades of my life. Now I can count the good hours as those where I can prop up sitting in bed or very rarely on sofa enough I can use laptop and do normal things like drink etc and don’t feel terrible. They come to an end with a need from your body to lie back down and...

...makes people want to lie flat. This is not because they are tired or sleepy but because they feel bad. The same happens for flu, vertigo, migraine (I assume), really bad toothache, and so on. During our post Covid illness my wife went to rest on the bed maybe twice in three months for a...

...with cerebral small vessel disease: a population-based study (2023, Stroke and Vascular Neurology) Increased glymphatic system activity in migraine chronification by diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (2023, The Journal of Headache and Pain) Glymphatic system...

This isn't as bad as I thought it might be although it has a rather FNDish perspective. The phrase "brain fog" is certainly far too broad a term to be of clinical value and to elucidate whether attentional, affective, higher cognitive etc symptoms are meant by the term is absolutely necessary...

I have written the following for a producer of clinical guidance. It is in response to a request from a doctor (who claims expertise in managing ME/CFS) for acupuncture to be recommended as a treatment for ME/CFS in an update of clinical guidance. Suggestions for improvement welcome. If it is...

That’s normal in Uk too. I did once get a bed whilst waiting for discharge, after 8hrs I had a migraine. I was the last of my “group” to be seen aka they forgot about me as I wasn’t in the waiting room. The only place which had a bed for me to use was the DWP medical assessment place for work...

...the same task when everything is firing on all cylinders as it should be vs hopping on one leg with a dropped shoulder, dodgy eyesight and a migraine. And then you put the whole dishwasher on with no tablet in anyway, and didn't realise the filter needed emptying on the tumble dryer so it...

...some kinds of separate pathologies in ME/CFS or Long COVID because they occur on the same day more often than other combinations. One example looks like jaw pain, constipation, migraine pain, headache, dizziness. The blue areas are the opposite. They are the least likely to occur on the same day.

...blog. I could comment on the Ellis/Beck history but for now just a couple of other brief comments: So many people don't understand that migraine is not just headache. Vertigo, nausea, (increased) sensory sensitivities, etc. Often you feel impelled to lie down or be completely still. To...

People with meningitis get told this too. With devastating and deadly consequences.

Old thread on here but a recent example from Reddit (r/fnd) — @rvallee will probably appreciate the ChatGPT aspect!

...suffering my GP suspected meningitis so sent me to hospital. Which resulted in me being told there was nothing wrong with me, maybe I had a migraine, and obviously the whole experience made things worse for a long time. The point about a a generation with social media skills is interesting...

...on a health website that said that the health conditions with the strongest association with depression are CFS, fibro, IBS, weight gain, migraine etc etc. Yet, when I checked the study, I found no mention of CFS at all (or fibro for that matter). I found no such list in the press release of...

I feel it is central to my experience, I am neurodivergent and was primarily very sensory seeking and under registering* had migraine which involve light sensitivity (during migraine) for years, since getting CFS my window of tolerance in the first place is much smaller, and then being in a...

Well... the cycle of migraine bouts which inspired the OP seems to have broken, that is the good news. I think this is mostly due to a new infection becoming established as the dominant recurring virus of my collection, as I now have a cycle of URT (upper respiratory tract) infection with runny...
