Thank you for such a wonderfully narrated and articulate response and for sharing your personal story. I had a similar response to my first covid jab. The following day I felt so healthy, I thought the jab had caused a spontaneous recovery. It only lasted 24 hours but it was a spectacular feeling.

Yes, it's triggered by different infections & also vaccine injury, operations etc & they all contribute to the type of symptoms we suffer from but chronic fatigue is not CFS. CFS is a condition & chronic fatigue is a symptom. They are not interchangeable.

Tracy @tracyme.bsky.social · 25/12/2024
I said 'chronic fatigue' not 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome'. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a terrible alternative name for ME whereas chronic fatigue is simply one symptom of many illnesses and conditions.

Well, it's been the longest ever wait, but the switcheroo is flexing its muscles again. H69/V70+ sequences popping up in multiple countries. I've been wondering for a while whether it was inevitable, or whether BA.2.86 had somehow killed it off.
A growing curve of h69/v70+ covid sequences - at a very low level so far.

This festive season, we’d like to encourage those with a loved one w/ME to gift an act of kindness. Ask what would be most helpful and comforting to them, what may seem small to you could be immensely helpful & meaningful to someone living with ME #DecodeME #RandomActsOfKindness
Graphic with yellowy beige background. At the top left there is the DecodeME logo, at the top right are dark blue and green baubles. At the top centre it says ‘Supporting someone with ME’. Beneath this it says ‘Remember to check in on your friend/ family member with ME this festive season and see what would be most helpful and comforting for them.’ Underneath this it lists suggestions to do this, including: Go shopping, call or text them to let them know you’re here for them, cook them a warming meal, keep including them in your plans even if they have to decline most of the time and sit with them quietly.

I haven't done a gaming one but did some from the ME Association. I checked my email to see if I was mistaken but it was the pacing narrative study. I was able to leave & go back to it but my link was taking me back to the start so had to email in to fix it.
