    Improvement of Fatigue and Body Composition in Women with Long COVID After Non-Aerobic Therapeutic Exercise Program, 2025, Miana et al.

    I'm stuck on the idea that anyone could possibly do 400 sit ups and it be considered "Non-Aerobic". As far as I know 400 reps of anything, or even 50, is aerobic exercise, even if the primary goal is to gain strength and not fitness. Try doing 50 squats with 100kg and then tell me, when you...

    Crowdfunding for David Tuller during April 2025

    I moved 250 miles away, from the address they had for me. Worked a treat (in that I have received no more letters from Berkeley since doing so).

    BBC: Plan for GPs to keep millions out of hospital

    Wouldn't planks of wood and some nails do the same job much cheaper, with no need for medically trained personnel? Or even, if money was no object, better locks and some no entry signs, believable ones, e.g. 'Danger - uncollapsed ceiling ahead'. It is relatively easy to keep millions of people...

    UK: Disability benefits (UC, ESA and PIP) - news and updates 2024 and 2025

    Yes, it's what they seem to do. It is not a wca, it's largely a paperwork check with possibly a few questions thrown in, of the sort what was your last address etc.

    Study links oral microbiome to cognitive function in older adults

    So..the association is definately, don't brush teeth, leads to cognitive issues/dementia and not at all that people with cognitive issues or dementia may 'forget' to brush their teeth? Coz they don't appear to have considered the later at all. Not at all, in any way.....but then I suppose when...

    ME/CFS Skeptic - How many scientific papers are fake?

    I'm 'surprised' at the '1 in 7 are fake', i'd be less surprised at '1 in 7 aren't fake', because in many areas that i have seen virtually all papers are clearly fake, whole swathes of the internet returns thousands of fakes, or at least highly dubious papers. But this is just my impression...

    UK: Disability benefits (UC, ESA and PIP) - news and updates 2024 and 2025

    It is not, in my experience, about how things affect at least me. Unless you have a recent diagnosis, apparently by a consultant, that, in their opinion, backs up your statements, then no award is likely. Given that, in their opinion, ME is nothing more significant than the sniffles.......they...

    Opinion Can Intermittent Hypoxic Conditioning Enhance the Benefits of Standard Long COVID‐19 Rehabilitation?, 2025, Kambič et al

    So, they want to strangle people who don't recover from LC? Starting with the sickest a.k.a. the most vulnerable first (presumably as the sickest LC patients/victims won't be able to fight back as effectively and this could mean that less restraints might be needed?)

    Common drug (Amlodipine) taken by millions may banish ADHD symptoms, study suggests

    Am I a zebrafish? As I have been prescribed amlodipine for many years (ever since it was decided, by someone who I have not met, who has not met me, that beta blockers were inappropriate for type 2 diabetics) and I really just can't be bothered to swim anymore. Who is prescribing things to...

    Bags for carrying bits & bobs around

    I tried something similar a few years back, probably a little bigger in that mine holds both a 700ml thermos and a small sandwich box, as well as a phone etc. I struggled with it TBH, it wouldn't stay put, stay where I wanted it to while walking. This may be because I am not a particularly...

    Duvets - what fillings are worth a try, and which brands and retail are good (eg for being able to send back)

    I use wool duvets, 2 of, one summer weight and one autumn weight, from devon duvets. A major downside of the ones from devon duvet is that, other than some short bits of fabric, there is no way of linking them - and as may be surmised from the above statement, I'e never been able to join 2...

    Impacts of the 2024 change in US government on ME/CFS and Long Covid

    Choroid plexus volume is enlarged in long COVID and associated with cognitive and brain changes

    I was/am under the impression that this type of research/findings gad been conducted for ME and other things about 20 years ago, with the same or similar findings. Since then these have been ignored or described as meaningless, without meaning, as no one knows how/why they do things, or even...

    UK: Disability benefits (UC, ESA and PIP) - news and updates 2024 and 2025

    er,...so it seems possible that all of them (DWP, NHS, etc.) may pursue us, in an attempt to force us back into the workforce regardless of any ill effects on our health, and my only option is to sue them, obviously after I'm dead, as nothing else constitutes 'harm' in the opinion of the people...

    Forget sending people anywhere, the amount of money is under a third of that needed to send them an invitation - not the paper, envelope, any staff, absolutely nothing, apart from roughly a third of the postage cost.

    BPS Thought experiment: What would happen if a ME/CFS patient developed Alzheimers/Dementia?

    Given current healthcare beliefs about ME/CFS then, to me, it seems very unlikely that anyone with that label would ever meet the threshold for diagnosis, as anything we say, or anything said by those with illness beliefs we have 'contaminated' is automatically, wout thought or consideration...

    What is the future of Covid?

    I suspect that covids plan. for the future of covid, is already well underway; Find a representative and convince them to enact policies in the best interest of Covid. Have that representative appoint lieutenants and place them in charge of all western healthcare. Scrap all healthcare that is...

    FDA proposes pulling Sudafed and Benadryl from pharmacy shelves

    Many years ago (20+) I used to use one of the sudafeds to reduce sinus pain - what I was under the impression sudafed was marketed for. It was, out of everything in the UK that could be purchased over the counter, the only one that worked, for me. Then, probably about 15 years ago, they...

    UK: Disability benefits (UC, ESA and PIP) - news and updates 2024 and 2025

    I'm going through a UC review ATM. It was arranged for them to call me on the 16th (of December) when my sister would come round here to handle the call. No one called, no one has called since, I have left 2 messages in my UC Journal but had no reply so this morning was 'stressful' while...
