A new charity (UK based) has just been launched by my son to help SEND children move into career pathways after school.

It would be amazing and truly appreciated if you could contribute in any way or share this link to help it become a success.

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.

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.

A growing curve of h69/v70+ covid sequences - at a very low level so far.

A growing curve of h69/v70+ covid sequences - at a very low level so far.

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.
