@AbyssPearl Have you heard of Daridorexant? It works in a different way - not a sedative but prevents wakefulness. It's new to the market in the UK. Interestingly benzos stop my daughter from sleeping. Everyone is different.

@Fatigo_MECFS My daughter has. My understanding is that doses from 15-45 mg can be helpful for PEM. There’s more information about it from the Bateman Horne centre in the USA. They have patients on it.

@KatyBruce108 @KarenLHargrave Thank you Katy. One of the reasons I wrote it was to bring very severe ME out of the darkness and onto the radar of people who can make a difference. So much goes unseen.

@ClagueNjc36 @PhysiosForME I'm sorry she's really suffering. Thank you for posting about athetoid arm movements. I looked it up and it's what my daughter gets when she's in severe energy deficit and PEM. I didn't know how to describe it before.
