Lord of Ultima Tools Part 5: Other Extensions and Scripts

I was going to make this post about TDK (One Defiant) Extension, but I realised that the official TDK extension page has a pretty nice description of all its features, including screenshots, and I would just be duplicating their efforts.

So I'll cover a couple of the smaller scripts instead.

CFS and POTS: What Works for Me

For most people, New Year's is a time to celebrate and make resolutions for the year ahead. For me, it marks the anniversary of becoming sick. I have have been sick for five years. At first I thought it was just a transient illness. After two doctors and many blood tests, Ross River Virus was suggested, but that diagnosis didn't hold up to further tests. Much later, the doctors grudgingly admitted the label that I knew was the only one that fit - Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). I guess I should consider myself one of the lucky ones in that some of my symptoms have improved to the point that I don't really meet the criteria for a CFS diagnosis anymore (depending of course, on exactly which criteria you use), and I think I better diagnosis for me now would be Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). I haven't officially been diagnosed with POTS, and I only realised that I had it about a year ago, but my heart rate can more than double going from lying down to standing up.

But even though I have made some natural improvement over the course of the last five years, I'm definitely also managing my symptoms a lot better. It's taken me all this time to really figure out what works for me and what doesn't. So I thought I'd share my experiences in the hopes that it might help someone else.
