wow People are being declined from attending ME/CFS and long Covid clinics if they are overweight. Why? Being overweight does not cause post exertional symptoms or POTS. Losing weight will not cure the condition. Imagine any other disease having a BMI caveat for help.

Abstract Background In adults with serious respiratory illness, fatigue is prevalent and under-recognised, with few treatment options. The aim of this review was to assess the impact of graded exercise therapy (GET) on fatigue in adults with serious respiratory illness. Methods Electronic...

What I meant by 'special diet' is that it can mean a whole range of accommodations for an individual and your particular needs? I don't know if such a service exists but there are so many people like yourself with issues.

I'm not in the UK but perhaps you could try googling "special diet food delivery"? Some companies specifically cater to diabetics, celiac and persons with food sensitivities.

Over the long-term, standing more compared with sitting does not improve cardiovascular health, and could increase the risk of circulatory issues related to standing, such as varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis. However, their efforts may not produce the intended result. New University of...

An early season flu bug is giving the Maple Leafs as much grief as opposing penalty killers. “It’s up in the air right now,” head coach Craig Berube said of Nylander’s availability. “Hopefully he’s fine, we’ll see. “We’ve had more guys (sick) too, but they were able to keep going. We’ve got to...

Conclusions Neurovascular brain immunology has heralded the advent of multidisciplinary research integrating immunology and neuroscience with vascular biology and hematology to study the blood-brain-immune interface. Leveraging advances in genomics, imaging, and machine learning, this emerging...

Abstract The brain-vascular-immune interface has emerged as a dynamic player in brain physiology and disease. We propose integrating vascular risk factors with genetic susceptibility as the nexus for the discovery of mechanisms and therapies for neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and...

KEY POINTS Question: Determine the short- and long-term physical impairments and skeletal muscle cellular changes in survivors of critical COVID. Findings: Survivors of critical COVID have high prevalence of weakness, fatigue, and reduced functional exercise capacity with muscle tissue...

My temp during delayed PEM is around 95.5 for three days but I feel hot and dehydrated.

@duncan The ME doctor I saw in the early 90s told me that most pwME feel as though they have a fever but their actual temperature is low. It's our bodies natural mechanism of trying to increase our core temperature.

@forestglip But does the flu/cold circulate all year round? It's common for me to have a mild sore throat, worse fatigue, deep aching et on a regular basis even in mid July. I live alone and don't spend a lot time around people. I'd be at the doctors every month if I thought I had an...

I know we discussed this before but I thought I would bring it up here if that's ok. Who gets the flu or a cold? I don't know for sure if I've ever had the flu or a cold. The first 12 years never. But as ME went on I can't really say for sure if how I felt was from the flu or a cold...

There are most likely some pwME who are infected with enterovirus. I would imagine that they would need many tissue samples in various areas of the gut to detect it. Have you seen the discussions on this thread

Taking tissue samples from lungs from LC patients could produce answers. But I'm not so sure tissue samples(except the brain) is going to produce anything useful for pwME? Dr. Chia took gut samples from pwME for enterovirus but I'm not sure he found anything? My best friend was a...

The UK is just like Canada. The Premier of my province once told reporters "there are plenty of jobs out there" when asked about increasing financial disability supports that are below the poverty line so persons with disability can afford food and rent. He said it's been shown that working...

Kendall praised projects in Leicester and at the Maudsley Hospital in Camberwell, in south-east London, which offered employment support - such as training on CV writing and interviews - to people with serious mental health conditions, including on hospital wards. "The results of getting people...

Possibly. Wouldn't the length of time after viral onset be a factor? I had all the PCR testing done 10yrs after ME onset. From one of references above (LINK) "Treatment with antivirals or combinations of antivirals and immune-modulating agents during acute COVID-19 may also prevent PASC...
