Jebuz! :/

glad yer (mostly) ok now though! :)

Sorry for not being round much my self: my health sucks nuts, sigh, so mostly just playing  games or such  (Fallout New Vegas is awesome!)

Ooooh! Bryster, dunno if you've seen some of the latest news on Me/CFS, but...you know the XMRV/MLV virus they think is the cause? now being linked to breast cancer! researcher found 25% of such tumours had the virus, where as average in normal population of having XMRV os around 3 or 4%.
If proven by further research, that's huge because, if I get this right, from other research in animal testing with XMRV, this bloody virus is integrally linked with the cancer's survival: you kill the virus, you kill the cancer

ie no more chemotherapy etc, instead you treat the damn virus = dead cancer!!
All very early days though and needs many years of research, but, wow...!

oh and another thing, did they test you for Orthostatic Intolerance, due to your ME/CFS? if you have that, that can be a trigger for strokes

FOlk with severe ME/CFS tend to end up with very low blood volume about 2/3rds normal, so blood presure goes whacky (which has happened to me...meh), thus, risk of stroke/heart attack goes way up when you are not in a supine position, especially when standing (orthostatic intolerance: inability of heart to pump blood to top of body when in a standing/vertial position).

That's what killed the guy who was punched in the incident in the shopping centre in ENgland last year (a scumbag punched him thinking the vicitm had jumped the queue, victim had ME/CFS, dropped dead on the spot, as punch triggered heart attack cause of the orthostatic intolerance etc)
