There is only one thing worse than being Gosho, and that is not being Gosho

I really have little or nothing to add to that LHG. It's very easy to read and covers just about everything I can think of.

Here's something extra though, which may be of as much use to ME researchers as to you. Whilst reading the part about the type of person affected by ME, it reminded me that not only was I leading a particularly busy life when it hit me, but I was in the same circumstances when glandular fever knocked me flat for 6 months at the age of 21. Also, when I was even younger than that, I often used to get extremely fatigued after a cold or some other illness. That always passed after a week or so.

smiley - blush Thanks Gosho

I read your comments with great interest - I had glandular feaver at about the same age, and I often got colds worse that the other kids and for longer, but had not made the connection smiley - erm

Thank you

Good question! Been a very lazy but long day smiley - smiley had an early morning visitor, read my book (no not while my visitor was here!), did a small amount of housework, then went for lunch with friends. Next looked for taps (unsuccessfully) then went to the pub for supper!

How is work?

I have to catch my bus in about 5, 10 minutes, so it's going to be a quickie smiley - winkeye Did you ever see the film 'Love At First Bite'? There was a scene were Dracula (Frank Langella) was leaving a woman's apartment, and she said something like "OH, please stay, just for a quickie" and he says (in a Transylvanian accent) "With you my dear never a quickie.... always a longie" smiley - winkeye
