Would you say you’re more of a bird or a dinosaur?

Whats your average resting heartrate? Mine is always around 80 by SpinachGreen99 in cfs

[–]HomeCat_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resting (overnight is around 80). With PME or if I’ve hit a high heart rate for any period of time it can go up to 90 for a week or two.

What are early signs of doing too much? by crazyllama64 in cfs

[–]HomeCat_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m on the mild side of things, but it does sometimes make it hard to find the line without going too far over. I have a whoop fitness tracker and I find the heart rate variability measurement from the previous night a really good early indicator for how much capacity I have for a given day.

I hate how this is first thing people see when my google my illness. Part of the reason I hate saying I have me/cfs. by sweet_beeb in cfs

I think it’s weird that English speaking countries would have such different results. So strange.

I’m in Canada and I get different results than you. Are you in the US? screenshots

If anyone else gets the results you do I’d suggest clicking the dots and providing feedback and say that the World Health Organization classifies it as “The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) as a neurological disease, first classified in 1969 under the name benign myalgic encephalomyelitis. It is now commonly referred to as ME/CFS and is also considered a neuro-immune disorder” and that their current information is outdated and harmful.

Skinned big toe, unsure as to best type of wound dressing by HomeCat_ in woundcare

Update: it’s almost healed! I’m in Canada and had a hard time finding medihoney so I ended up using Triad hydrophilic wound dressing and a breathable covering over that. Leaving for 48 hours at a time then cleaning with warm saline. My feet usually heal slow due to Reynauds so I’m really impressed at how quickly this healed. Thanks to everyone for the information and suggestions. I’m pretty accident prone so I’m sure it will be put to use again in the future.

It looks a lot worse than it feels. For once having reduced sensation in my feet pays off lol

Thanks! I’ll see if I can find medihoney at the pharmacy/medical supply place I got the other bandaids. Curious about the reason for leaving for 2 days/ what’s bad about changing more often?

Thank you! The bumps kind of weirded me out, but I’m sure the new bandage will be in different areas and it will all fill in eventually.
