Does anyone know Dr. David Lynch's background in the above video? I am not familiar with Dr. Lynch....
Great video of this panel discussion! I was interested to hear that Dr Davis does himself have EDS. So Whitney might have some version if it too? I’m sure they will have looked into that.
Yes.. that’s what he said. Definitely made me wonder since it is genetic if Whitney could have some type of connective tissue disorder. Obviously this was 5 or 6 months ago, but Ron might know more about it now. Interesting about the 50% of patients number.. seems a lot.I did not watch the video, and might be misunderstanding @Mel9, but do you mean that Dr. Davis himself has EDS and he said that Whitney might as well?

For eight years, I have mostly bedbound, homebound or a wheelchair user. It has been a sometimes wonderful, but often unbelievably difficult journey. I wanted to share that thanks to three neurosurgeries, all of my ME symptoms are now in remission.!
Maybe I missed seeing it somewhere, but what kind of virus did you have?
Otherwise your options are: while you are working in a job with good benefits that offers a good PPO plan, but you cannot quit that job!
Seriously, I can't bear to read anymore about this. PR is awash with cci - an area that I feel I cannot do a single thing about - I'm a single mum in the UK. How can I find out if I have this issue? Where on earth do I turn? I'm totally lost and feel utterly hopeless now. This has not been positive info for the likes of me at all.

So I focus on any number of things that I feel could help me at least manage it for now, and/or safely postpone any needed surgery.
speculating around if CCI is or is not CFS, etc., etc. etc. based on no real knowledge one way or the other.
Everyone should be warned. And if you find yourself with a little whiplash, or a bit of bungee jumping stress, some mysterious virus: you may discover you'll recieve no medical care, also!
Otherwise, you will discover that in the US, healthcare is rationed: not according to need, but according to your ability to pay.
I know these kind of situations, only in my case something else triggers them: a substance (certain medications) or being high-altitude (e.g. in an airplane). It may be O2 "issues" - sth. like hypoxia maybe as a consequence of hyperventilation, because giving pure O2 makes all these symptoms disappear and normalize my body. I don't really understand it; I only have the observation. I find it very interesting, though, that you describe an experience that sounds pretty similar to mine (please correct me!), only with completely different triggers.In these moments of non-responsiveness, which began after my thyroidectomy, it can look to an outside observer (I have been told) like I have passed out or, if my eyes are open, like I am dead. I am still “there” inasmuch as I can hear what is happening around me, but I have a hard time having any thoughts or interpretation of events. My cognition is still there, but at a rudimentary level. I cannot move or speak.
