Do you mean "(stop eating well) (before bed)" or "(stop eating) (well before bed)"?
Actually, I'm not sure one of these options would even have the correct syntax.
As the others said, "well before" meaning " a long time before". General advice is to restrict your eating times to a 10 hour window and fast the remaining 14 hours, so breakfast at 9am means you must eat dinner by 7pm
I'm European living in an European country with universal healthcare and I still can't afford or reach a doctor. First they make you call a nurse, that appointment will be in 5-12 weeks, then maybe if the nurse thinks you need the doctor you wait another 5-12 weeks to get to the doctor. And it costs. And also the possible exams or meds cost as well. Yes, less than in USA, but still too much..
It's not unreasonable. A few folks have developed it after getting vaccinated against COVID. To anyone thinking they might skip on the vaccine for your reason: don't. Health outcomes are still way way better if you get the vaccine.
Definitely possible, but harder/nearly impossible to verify.
Anyways long COVID isn’t one illness, it’s an umbrella term for health problems following a COVID infection. It can mean anything from COVID triggered Autoimmune diabetes to loss of smell after COVID.
No worries, just be aware that like most chronic illness communities they are riddled with dodgy treatments. People all have their theories and their pet supplements when in reality we just don’t know.
but the useful thing is being in a group of people who suffer similarly, if you can get past the annoying alt-med, everyone cosplaying as a biologist, thing.
Was it caused by COVID or caused by the endless daily high stress caused by the world being run bybthe worst paychos causing people to just completely shutdown internally and kind of wish for a nuclear holocaust to clense the Earth, asking for a friend.
The first. Before COVID infection I was a healthy young person doing 30 hours of sports a week, since getting COVID I’ve been unable to leave my bed suffering from dozens of symptoms vomiting every day getting loads of infections because apparently my immune system called quits.
And just to be clear. While I initially faced disbelief from loads of doctors. I eventually found one specialised in long COVID who confirmed this and then I was confirmed when I had to go through the 1000 loops of hell to get disability income. So I’m not pulling this out of my arse.
(And frankly the “Actually it’s probably just stress” is the sort of minimising and harmful prejudicial attitude that’s hurting advocacy efforts and making it hard for long COVID to be taken seriously by the general public.)
The sympathetic/parasympathetic disregulation probably responsible for some MECFS cases is a different mechanism from the immune system disregulation probably responsible for others. Though, it is unlikely that just general stress would get you MECFS, you're probably burnt out, which is also a real thing but different.
Key question: do you have an effort limit, and will surpassing that effort limit cause your body to revolt (sometime within the next ~24 hours) as well as lower your effort limit for future episodes?
I am basically at the point where I juat flat out don't care anymore about anythng. Because why bother. At this point, best case scenario, the world cooks us alive and kills all the food in 10-15 years.

Great question. Do not eat before bedtime. So your second one: (stop eating) (well before bed).
Thisiswritteningerman@midwest.social · 4 pts · 27d
"Well" describes an amount of time in this instance, though thats only implied. "Shortly" could be considered it's opposite here.

The lion should probably be more concerned with his fucking health, wtf?
FFS people talk to your doctor and make healthier decisions if you are experiencing this to the point it's noticeable.

Doctors: Idk your test results are in the normal range 🤷

These problems aren't the kind that you prevent by 'healthier decisions.' It's you got a virus and got unlucky.

I have this, I think it's long covid.

It is if it followed a COVID infection.

I've heard of people developing long covid after an asymptotic infection.

I did get the vaccine just to be clear. I highly recommended everyone else do the same.

daggermoon@piefed.world · 3 pts · 27d
It seems the most likely explanation. Either that or severe depression. Early onset dementia seems much less likely.
FundMECFS@piefed.zip · 4 pts · 27d
Yeah. Definitely I wouldn’t shy away from joining Long COVID communities and the like. They will be helpful probably. BTW, do you experience PEM?
daggermoon@piefed.world · 2 pts · 27d
Thank you. I never even considered long covid communities. Assuming I understand correctly, I don't believe I suffer from PEM.

I’ve had this thing happening the last couple days where the top of my head is tender to the touch lol but the lion don’t care.

And most doctors are useless about it refuse to believe it.
