I don't think I will. I should be OK in future, but I'll be better if they make it later!

I think it was the bloke who came that phoned me, and previously it was a female, and they just gave times and asked if it would be OK. I think the previous one was about 1100 am, and I said it was too early. But when the bloke phoned, again I said that it would be too early, but I had taken...

I've just had my first tests. I've offered to participate every week for a month, then I think it's monthly for a year. Despite my printed info saying "the telephone advisor will then be able to book you in for an appointment at a time that works for you, including at evenings or on the...

Or nose?

There's just been a report on the BBC News that someone has got the virus twice. I think it was a slightly different version, and in a different country. Can't remember if it was the usual news or the World Service. Here's a report on it...

I'm very foggy at present, so don't know if this is relevant, but: "Healthy cells with ME/CFS plasma behave like patient samples, while ME/CFS cells with healthy plasma behave like healthy controls i.e. no increase in impedance." From...

I know that psychology has been rubbished here a lot, but it does contain a bit of sense - shame about all the rubbish that is mixed up in it. I did psychology for a year as part of my Masters degree - the rest was science - and approached it all with an open mind, but made my own mind up what...

"Campaign groups supporting survivors of the virus have previously warned that doctors are dismissing ongoing problems or misdiagnosing the ongoing effects of Covid-19 as chronic fatigue syndrome. But in the first study to show a conclusive pattern, researchers at North Bristol NHS Trust found...

Not very with-it at present, but thought this BBC article might be relevant: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/explainers-53783890 It's called 'Coronavirus: What are the risks of catching it from food packaging?'

Not terribly with-it, but doesn't that just mean that people who are more active (for whatever reason) have less risk of dying? And isn't that bl**dy obvious? It's not necessarily that increasing activity reduces risk?

You may be right, of course - a lot of it is guesswork. Just found a government page: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-for-consumers-on-coronavirus-covid-19-and-food/guidance-for-consumers-on-coronavirus-covid-19-and-food I'm not very reassured by "When food defrosts, its...

I was rather surprised to see this as a matter of concern, but perhaps I am missing something or being too trusting? I get my veg from Riverford, and don't take any precautions other than using rubber gloves on the veg and the cardboard box on the day it's delivered. On their website...

I agree, but I don't agree with this: "Because of the condition’s unclear pathology and root causes, the disease was long dismissed as a psychiatric illness by doctors and ignored by researchers." I don't think it was dismissed as psychiatric until the psychologists came along!

Does that allow for people who die?

and it still is. I wonder whether the virus could still be there?

I'm not entirely happy with: "Crucially, the guidance fails to emphasise the importance of establishing a safe baseline of activity (which for some people means reducing activity levels) and then progressing with very gradual increases in physical and cognitive activity which take account of a...

I was in a slow-onset group, although I was extremely preoccupied with a crisis and didn't have (much) room for anything else, so I can't be sure whether various things were to blame, like a tetanus jab. But maybe it was something even earlier (I seem to recall a bad attack of flu). The onset...

I've been waiting since November 2016 to be put on a waiting list. I could always book an emergency appointment with (A & E?) or maybe private, but at the moment it seems even more fraught than usual due to coronavirus. I don't have the energy to clean my teeth more than once a day, and don't...

"Exertional fatigue, cognitive dysfunction (“brain fog”) and memory issues...are commonly noted in ASD." Are they? "The patient should also be allowed frequent breaks during the appointment as needed." Definitely agree, but there may come a point when continuation is impractical or...

Is this true? "Patients with ME/CFS are significantly more likely to experience depression and anxiety"
