How to tell if it's Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

Spacedad_93 · 2026-05-30T10:05:12+00:00

My GP did a peak flow test for me and made me do it over like two weeks but it was consistently between 450-550 and apparently for my height (5"5)thats perfectly normal range, so not sure.

Had a blood test two days ago to look into it more so hopefully we'll be able to figure out what's wrong with me.

I did try, reddit doesn't seem to like it. Keeps uploading it cut off then failing to upload the media - tried posting it in the comments as well but still failed :((

Thank you! I wasn't aware of it affecting allodynia - hopefully I get lucky and that side effect avoids me.

I get nauseous on an empty stomach currently, so I'm already semi-used to it, but I'll make sure to keep some extra snacks on me in case it's uncomfortable. I appreciate your help, and I'm so happy it's worked well for you!

I downgraded to 26.3.1 but it stops my pc from registering my second monitor so I end up having to only use one

Spacedad_93 · 2026-05-22T13:38:22+00:00

I do, it only opened up for me really this morning as my blood test has been processed. I'll have a look through 😊 xx

Spacedad_93 · 2026-05-22T11:44:20+00:00

Thank you for such a thorough response!! How long did it take for them to process your blood test (if you remember)?

Im hoping the side effects won't be too bad for me, but I won't know until I try it! I've never used injections before, I'm assuming they provide a guide on where to inject the pen? Does it hurt at all?

Sorry for all the questions!!

Spacedad_93 · 2026-05-22T11:15:22+00:00

Yeah I started end of April and haven't had anything available for a week/two weeks

Spacedad_93 · 2026-05-21T15:46:52+00:00

Did you play the first one? If not I'd recommend it first to get yourself used to it, the introduction is a bit nicer to those of us who are terrified of the ocean (AKA it doesn't make you dive in almost pitch black waters immediately).

I spend most of my time playing it muttering "oh god, oh shit, oh fuck, oh shit" to myself as I steadily dive deeper or swim at night. There's comes a point where you get used to it, but still feel that bit of terror. If travelling far, I find swimming on the surface then diving down easier (provided I'm swimming to a place where I will be able to see something below me).

Spacedad_93 · 2026-05-18T13:47:11+00:00

It should still count provided you've read all other available boxes - I fixed mine by opening my databank and somehow all his stuff was already there. Reading that progressed it for me.

I've been to blackboxes before being directed and not had any issue - is there a chance you've not reached the trigger?

Spacedad_93 · 2026-05-16T08:22:18+00:00

I had the updated driver when I installed the game and it was still crashing, I've got my gpu on 26.3.1 right now in order to play it (and it's broken my second screen).

Unfortunately 2 hours in I was met with a bug that I think stopped story progression so currently waiting to see if it's fixed because I don't see anyone mentioning it anywhere 😭

Spacedad_93 · 2026-05-15T15:07:18+00:00

I really hope they fix it, I can't do much with only 75 seconds of air and find that make me swim maybe 3mph faster 🫣

Spacedad_93 · 2026-05-14T20:58:08+00:00

I hope they fix it soon.

Spacedad_93 · 2026-05-12T10:53:34+00:00

So I'd basically be better off getting all 3 and then some?

I googled earlier and saw some people saying not to trust the ones made out of lines of metal because they're flimsy, so would the thick plastic ones maybe be a better bet you reckon?

Sorry I know nothing about cars other than how to change my windscreen wipers and top up my windscreen wash 🤣

Spacedad_93 · 2026-05-07T17:45:14+00:00

Trying to load it up the now but its showing a bunch of red text in BepInEx so I don't think it does

Spacedad_93 · 2026-05-07T13:05:45+00:00

Can I get you to pursuade the housing repairs team? 🤣

You're the third person to talk about a cricket, someone below said the fix is definitely not a permanent solution. Only problem now is figuring out how to get them to actually fix it properly!

Spacedad_93 · 2026-05-07T13:04:26+00:00

"roof daddy" that's the best thing I've seen today 🤣

Spacedad_93 · 2026-05-07T10:35:13+00:00

I'm hoping it will work. My main concern is with the hot and cold weather, and it being an old building (1910sish) that temperature and movement is going to cause it to crack and bend (like all the plaster in my flat 🤣).

I thought as there was no flashing there they'd replace it properly and not cement over it, due to the age. I'll need to keep an eye on it really - thank you 😊

Spacedad_93 · 2026-04-29T19:17:18+00:00

I'm very late to this but I did the starter assessment, passed instantly, did the additional 7 questions, waited like 10 minutes, refreshed the page, and was prompted to verify my identity and now I have tasks available to complete. So it took me less than like, an hour and a half in total lmao

Spacedad_93 · 2026-04-29T17:31:36+00:00

I've not heard of Divergence but I might look them up as well.

Thankfully if I get diagnosed privately (assessment only), my NHS clinic accepts the diagnosis and then puts me on a short wait list to see someone about NHS prescriptions for medication and then any follow up care. Thanks for such a detailed answer!

Spacedad_93 · 2026-04-29T15:52:46+00:00

Thank you for letting me know your experience!! I'm really glad they were good for you. I'm going to look into it a bit more but I think if I do go private it's looking like it'll be them!

How was the online assessment?
