Washing one’s hair if one has energy and arm limitations can be very difficult. A call participant mentioned Shampoo Caps that one places over the hair, rubs in, removes the cap and hair is cleaned – no rinsing needed. Some of these are available with fragrance free shampoo (They said they tried both of these. The Medline was what the hospital provided for their partner.) https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/walgreens-rinse-free-shampoo-cap/ID=prod6293401-product https://www.medline.com/product/ReadyBath-RinseFree-Shampoo-and-Conditioning-Caps/Z05-PF66410?question=Shampoo%20cap& They also told us there are wash gloves with similar shampoo – though they haven't tried this. https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/cleanis-aqua-pre-moistened-wash-glove,-shampoo/ID=prod6187681-product https://www.cvs.com/shop/cvs-health-pre-moistened-no-rinse-shampoo-glove-prodid-920210?skuId=920210&cgaa=QWxsb3dHb29nbGVUb0FjY2Vzc0NWU1BhZ2Vz&gStoreCode=R10694&gQT=1

PAIN Postacute COVID-19 syndrome and fibromyalgia syndrome are associated with anti-satellite glial cell IgG serum autoantibodies but only fibromyalgia syndrome serum-IgG is pronociceptive — Berwick, Richard J. et al. "as RC2 (recovered) participants, reporting no pain or fatigue, demonstrated equally strong staining, anti-SGC staining titre alone seems insufficient to explain symptoms in PACS. Instead, high staining in the recovered PACS group likely indicates a persistent immunological imprint from recent infection (2-6 months prior)."

Cryptohack. Решение Oh SNAP. Атака Флюрера-Мантина-Шамира (Fluhrer, Mantin, Shamir)

Приветствую, Хабр! В нескольких предыдущих статьях я рассматривал различные режимы шифрования для блочных шифров, постепенно сдвигаясь в сторону режимов, превращающих блочные шифры в потоковые. В новой статье в фокусе будет чисто потоковый шифр - RC4. Я расскажу о самом шифре, а также об атаке FMS и применении её для решения задачи Oh, SNAP с платформы Cryptohack.

Spotted in the news / online Read any articles or research of interest to therapists and counsellors? Please share them with us! We've rounded recent ones up up and added them to our website. Here's what we have from March and April 2025: Physiology for Psychology by Emily Cochrane of POTSUK on how this physiological condition gets misinterpreted and treated as 'anxiety'. #ThereforME published a piece by Ella Barnard who is lost for words trying to describe the reality of ME/CFS. The Smithsonian published an excellent article about how mental illness has become a scapegoat diagnosis for many women with serious physical health problems. And a fantastic piece of research from Australia looking at young people with ME/CFS and exploring how they face challenges building independence and forming their own identities when their paths diverge so much from those of their peers. Can't recommend this one enough! Read our roundup of March/April publications: https://chroniclivingtherapy.com/1-elsewhere-web/

From Canada:

The gut microbiota promotes pain in fibromyalgia

cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896

"Transplanting gut microbiota from women with fibromyalgia into mice induces pain. It also induces immune activation, metabolomic changes, and reduced skin innervation"

@fibromyalgia
#Fibromyalgia #Fibro #FMS #FM #ChronicPain

Highlights • Transplanting gut microbiota from women with fibromyalgia into mice induces pain • It also induces immune activation, metabolomic changes, and reduced skin innervation • Gut microbiota promotes pain through several mechanisms Summary Fibromyalgia is a prevalent syndrome characterized by widespread pain in the absence of evident tissue injury or pathology, making it one of the most mysterious chronic pain conditions. The composition of the gut microbiota in individuals with fibromyalgia differs from that of healthy controls, but its functional role in the syndrome is unknown. Here, we show that fecal microbiota transplantation from fibromyalgia patients, but not from healthy controls, into germ-free mice induces pain and numerous molecular phenotypes that parallel known changes in fibromyalgia patients, including immune activation and metabolomic profile alterations. Replacing the fibromyalgia microbiota with a healthy microbiota substantially alleviated pain in mice. An open-label trial in women with fibromyalgia (Registry MOH_2021-11-04_010374) showed that transplantation of a healthy microbiota is associated with reduced pain and improved quality of life. We conclude that altered gut microbiota has a role in fibromyalgia pain, highlighting it as a promising target for therapeutic interventions.

Interessanter Artikel über die Zusammenhänge des menschlichen Darmmikrobioms und Fibromyalgie

Klingt für mich nach einem vielversprechenden Ansatz, um Fibromyalgie besser diagnostizieren und behandeln zu können. 💪

While these are merely the first steps in understanding the role of the gut microbiome in chronic pain and specifically FM, one might envision exciting future perspectives for better mechanistic understanding of FM, for the development of objective diagnostic aids and potentially for new therapeutic modalities.
