Hi Julie

You know what? I do actually think I am onto something here. The more I am looking into this the more I am seeing a pattern. There definitely seems to be a link between NBE and weight. In fact the links extend well out into other health issues, but that take us well beyond the confines of this forum, and the capacity of my addled brain too :-)

Thanks for the suggestion of checking out the profile of Sfem and Pansy. I have had a quick run through Sfem's post, and although he doesn't make a big thing of it I did notice that he refers to holding on to weight more when on PM and issues with strength and fitness. So perhaps it's more of a common problem than I realised? Just that I am at the more extreme end of this particular issue?

A plan is slowly forming in my mind. Still trying to formulate all the factors as I don't think I have it together enough yet, but making progress. I will admit that it's not so easy doing this in isolation, and the way the CFS affects the brain it makes concentrating for any length of time a problem. It would really help if there was someone to bounce ideas around with.

Exciting times though :-)
