Dream setup if money and reality didn’t stop you?

What’s your dream home setting as severe?
…If you could just snap your fingers and be there - kind of like magic 🪄 ✨

Don’t let reality and money hold you back!

A few examples..

- Cozy studio in Tokyo where you can lay in bed and watch the city and neon lights? Order food and cute stuff and get it delivered in no time! 🌃🍣🛍️

- An old house on the coast where you get to drink tea in bed watching the ocean and experience all four seasons? 🌊⚓️

- A small cabin in the woods? Remote, cozy, fireplace and books. 🌲🪵🔥

- Or a house in suburbia with carers, chefs, cleaners and so much staff that absolutely all your needs are met so you can use your precious few spoons on your kid(s)? 🏠👶🏻👧🏼

Edited the intro- you don’t have to do the shopping or renovations 💙

When do you think that we will have biomarkers commercially available?

The three to five years mark has been around for the last 20 years.

Some biomarkers sound promising and have been repeatedly abandoned

I understand the subgrouping comes first.

I mean, people are killed by psychiatry, it's kind of urgent

How to get out of rolling PEM when digestion is triggering PEM?

I've been eating less and less because digestion itself is extremely hard for my body.

I'm already on a somewhat liquid diet, low histamine and all that

Every time I eat something I get incredibly painful one sided tinitus "shocks" that go through my neck into my chest, along the vagus nerve I think (usually my warning sign for massively overdoing it).

How do I stop crashing from digestion? Is it time for a feeding tube? :(

Halloween activities?

very severe, looking for things to do that don’t require a device especially. but I may want to watch some not too simulating Halloween-ish movies/shows because it’s my fave holiday.

Fludrocortisone. That's the last thing my specialist prescribed. Very scared to try it

Anyone has tried it while severe/very severe?

It's always the same: I have a specialist appointment. They suggests something. I get hopeful. Then I look into whatever it is and realize it has more potential harm than good to do.

Anyway, I take it ("what if this is what moves the needle?). Umpleasant side effects.

I tried ivabradine and ended up badly. I'm scared of trying fludrocortisone, I can't physically afford a trip to the ER.

Cfs leak (?)

One year ago I've experienced a thunderclap headache, which brought me from moderate to very severe in 60 seconds. It cause me to have extreme POTS, whereas I didn't before. I've had a brain - not spine - mra /mri and there was not fluid found, but still they found "broadened Vilchow Robin spaces in the basic ganglions". This finding was not there 4 months earlier in an mri I did.

I have different kind of tinnitus but not the "blocked ear" or underwater ones, not severe headaches, no pressure on the skull base.. But I still wonder if I have a cfs leak and if it plays a part in my severity.

I'm laying flat 24/7 so I can't compare laying and sitting up. Sure, sitting up makes me extreme dizzy, but that could be also from the flat laying or pots.

Doctors don't know sh*t and I can't move anyway.
