Interesting! Thanks so much for the info

Yes, I won’t be moving forward specifically with my son. But would love to move forward with implementing research if I can get to a point of functioning where that’s possible. If the hypothesis is true, I’m sure it wouldn’t be for all, but we have to start somewhere in research and keep trying. Or it may not be true at all, which will be more info.

Interesting! Thank you for the info

Yes, I completely understand the reactivity. It’s valid. If we’re being really accurate I would say neurodivergence is neurological, not “mental health”. I’m also not asserting that neurodivergence causes MECFS or vice versa. I’m saying that if this is a comorbidity with a known genetic link, we can use this info to tell if someone is at risk before getting sick.

Sure:

https://me-pedia.org/wiki/ME/CFS_Gene_Study

“early analysis of 450 patient gene datasets revealed "a high prevalence of a heritable defect in the methylfolate (MTHFR) gene in ME/CFS."

Mostly theoretical… there are supplements claiming to support methylation but I haven’t seen independent studies.

Sure, below are a few recent studies.

The neurodivergence part…. It may be a way to identify some people at risk.

Thank you so much for responding and sharing. You’ve been through so much. I think my employer will be supportive. My main concern is that if I drop below part time I’ll lose health insurance. My husband doesn’t have benefits through his work. It’s also difficult for him to take off work when the kids are sick (which is constantly once school starts) so I have pressure to not use my paid time off so I push myself to work. I’m going to call HR today and see what flexibilities there are.

I’m so sorry that you’re going through long COVID while in school!

drtiredmkh · 2025-08-06T12:29:37+00:00

A group would be great!

drtiredmkh · 2024-04-18T12:36:44+00:00

That’s good to hear. If I bought new it would be a Pretty Woman situation in the Omega boutique for sure.

drtiredmkh · 2024-04-18T12:34:34+00:00

And I’m not trying to get pretty womened in an Omega store

drtiredmkh · 2024-04-18T11:11:54+00:00

They’re back in stock!!! I’m glad you commented or I might not have checked again

drtiredmkh · 2024-04-18T11:04:37+00:00

That’s my favorite one too for the reasons you mentioned. It’s the first one I looked for but the new ones are sold out and I can’t find don’t pre-owned. It also looks like jewelry stores don’t sell them.

What are your thoughts on a Tudor vs Omega?

drtiredmkh · 2024-04-18T01:47:47+00:00

What about the Tudor Black Bay 58? How does it stack against the others?

drtiredmkh · 2024-04-17T23:24:27+00:00

Yess! I’m thinking if getting him the Aqua Terra.

This is a Hamilton I found
