This is pretty much the same (at first glance) as Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which I had, and got a LOT worse. I know several #peME who had it and experienced the same outcome.
Lots of hope here for #peME - although GWI probably induced by exposure to sarin, and wouldn’t have the viral persistence of an original infection. I wonder if they have EBV reactivation anyway?

I am trying to count my small-scale wins, but it’s been getting increasingly difficult. Today I just dropped it all and went into mourning. I wish my soul felt dead because then I wouldn’t feel this horrible aching spin inside me.
#longcovid #peME #disability
This is how I feel. I’ve been crying all day. I just can’t believe it. I mean, I can believe it, but my heart feels like it’s been pulled out of my body and my soul has been twisted and smashed for good measure.

I relate to this so deeply

Comic: First panel: A cat in a bed made of a box rubs her eyes. Second panel: The cat remains in her box and yawns and stretches. Third panel: the cat is out of the box, looking out of the window at a blue sky. Caption, “What a wonderful day…” Fourth panel: The cat is back in the box, asleep. Caption, “…to take a nap.”
Today I get to see my little nieces and nephews (who aren’t so little any more)! Huzzah!
Got to rest all day so I’ll have energy for dinner and play time tonight.

An interesting read. Higher levels of EBV and herpes virus (as already known) but the hypothesis of IFNa auto antibodies wasn’t apparent

Interesting…cardiology won’t see me for a full POTS diagnosis.
They’ve written to my GP saying it definitely sounds like POTS, and recommending starting bisoprolol first, then trying midodrine and then ivabradine depending on how I get on.
Cardiology form afar 🤔

There were signs along the way that my health was worsening, but I couldn't get doctors to pay attention. My body just stopped. I couldn't push anymore because my body just wouldn't.
I'm in a better place now because I'm able to access treatments, but #fatigue continues to be my worst sx.

Hat aus der #MEcfs #peME #PEM Bubble Erfahrung mit Amitriptylin? Nehme es seit letzter Woche (40mg 3 Tropfen/Nacht). Kopf- und Muskelschmerzen sind wesentlich weniger geworden, aber ich fühle mich unglaublich benommen und kraftlos. Meistens bis nachmittags, dann geht es einigermaßen….
Two to-do lists written and prioritised for the week 💪🏼
One for work and one for home. Highlighted with low, medium and high intensity activity to help with pacing.
Have you got a system? #peME #mecfs #chronicillness #spoonie
Anyone else newish to life with housebound M.E. feel they’re dissociating their way through it all? I’ve been housebound for 5 months, mainly bedbound, apart from a couple of health appts. But somehow I still feel like it all isn’t happening. Is this some kind of grief mechanism? (1/2)

Lovely to have found you. Artist, tea drinker and #peME here too :)
