  1. Today in #ChronicFatigue : I hit a week of exercising every day, without skipping any. And given it has been 15 months since I stopped work, and this is the first time, I feel the need to celebrate that. In this state it is so easy to do too much and knock yourself out for the day(s) after.

    It does feel a bit strange to celebrate though, because exercise in this context is 10 minutes at 4.5 km/h on a treadmill. For those of you not used to metric measures, this is a ludicrously minimal amount of exertion; I normally walk at around 6 km/h and ten minutes is, well, ten minutes. And if I try and do this twice too close together (like walking to get an ice cream, sitting for half an hour, and walking back) I wreck my energy levels and sleep for the following several days.

  2. CW: getting old

    You're all up on the #Grimm tale about #DeathsMessengers.

    & your throat infection returns or never left.
    & you've only just got over RSV & before that Covid, & even before that flues with #PostViralFatigue.

    But you've been confident these are all unrelated & any day now you'll be back to years long stretches of uninterupted good health.

    & then suddenly for no apparent reason, you think, "It's just like the story".

    & rush to find the #NigellaSativa & #Neem

  4. This is odd. JCVI know #vaccines reduce COVID-19 death & illness in previously healthy, younger people, incl. #LongCovid. I had #PostViralFatigue from COVID & I know several people with CFS/ME: post-viral conditions are no joke.

    They should develop annual nasal #vaccination targeted to recent SARS-CoV-2 variants, at a cost to those at lower risk, i.e. in line with flu for which I'm eligible for free annual jabs. I can't get a further SARS-CoV-2 vaccine!
