    Thanks for sharing your experience, Conor. There are a lot of us w/ severe ME who are very concerned about getting the vaccine. Hope you can continue to stay on a healing course, calm your nervous system, and see consistent improvement. Wishing you all the best

    Hi connor this is quite a normal pattern with ME with ME you have a maladaptive stress reaction to everything most of ME suffers including myself have and are on your same journey also we can tolerate meds I've had ME about 17 years I would not take covid jag because I feared reaction with my ME everyone makes there own decision about that also I also use a tens machine for pain and cold and hot pads you are very brave and honest so please know every word you say I've been there and still go there with any stresser so keep your chin up and good luck with the future all the very best take care and thanks for posting big hugs patricia knights 🙂

    I used to have a big garden. I loved all my plants and trees..but when I got sick I had to sell my house, I just couldn't take care of it and garden. I'm eager to watch your other channel 😄.

    Found out about ME/CFS after having Long Covid for 9 months now. Your videos do a good job showing what it’s like for someone with it. I am afraid to take the vaccine honestly because of the chance of getting worse is not one I can take. I wish you the best.

    Great to see you're doing so much better. I think we've all been in the pit during a major setback. It's hard to describe how horrible it is to someone who hasn't been there.
    Anyway, glad to hear how it's all going 🌈 All the best 😁

    Hi Conor. So so great to see you and to see your continued improvement. I’ve heard quite a few people say the reacted quite bad to first dose then nothing the second or vice versa. Also after the initial flare comes a great flow of better health. So, so great to see you on the other side. Cheering you on. :)))

    • @conorhope2307
      @conorhope2307  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks! I just add somewhere between 3% and 5% each week to my sitting up time, or standing up time etc. Way back when I was really severe, it was adding on 5 seconds onto brushing my teeth time each week etc So I had to start small, but it does build up, and then you're able to take bigger leaps eventually. Wishing you all the best 😊🌿

      A combination of long term stress, lots of self-imposed pressure to do well and probably certain genetic predisposing factors.
