    US News : Western Wisconsin Residents struggle with chronic illness Nov 2019

    No problem! I am often confused by copyright issues. I think this warning just means don't copy the entire text of the article, or large sections of the article, and post it somewhere else. Or read the entire article on air on a radio show. Or do any other form of plagiarism. Posting links to...

    US News : Western Wisconsin Residents struggle with chronic illness Nov 2019

    I've been pretty foggy lately but I can't see why there would be copyright issues with posting a link to the article. It just eliminates a step in the process so the user can go straight to the article vs. clicking on tweet and then clicking on link to article. Wouldn't the US News & World...

    #MEAction: Dr. Koroshetz Declines to Take Urgent Action for ME. Read His Response and Take Action!

    An excerpt from today's ME Action email about the #NotEnough4ME campaign: The idea (in brief) is to make a video saying his response is not enough and post it on social media with hashtag #NotEnough4ME and tag Dr. Koroshetz and NIH. Link with full instructions -...

    Should ME organisations do more direct action to get more funding for ME research?

    If I'm reading your posts correctly (not really able to watch your videos) you're interested in more protesting in the streets. So my suggestion here may not be what you're looking for. However, one way to get started would be to ask some other organization to help us boost the number of...

    Solve ME/CFS Initiative: ME/CFS Advocacy Week and DC Lobby Day 2020

    Thanks for the new thread! I look forward to reading more about it as the time comes nearer. I once met with an aide to my own local representative to tell my story and advocate for more ME research funding & awareness. But that was here in Oregon, at her Beaverton office, not in Washington...

    Tilt table test

    A basic standing test may be okay for diagnosing POTS. But what about other forms of orthostatic intolerance? From what I've read the tilt table test and/or the NASA lean test are better at detecting certain problems like Neurally Mediated Hypotension (NMH). Several different names have been...

    Article: Brain studies show chronic fatigue syndrome and Gulf War illness are distinct conditions

    Dr. Klimas has also done research using tests that were able to distinguish patients with ME/CFS from patients with Gulf War Illness and also from controls. But don't ask me to explain it! I know there's a thread on the forum somewhere but not up to searching at the moment. But I do have the...

    OMF website resource list - should Science for ME forum be on this list?

    Thanks for the info, @Lynn :) I did contact OMF. I sent email to info@omf.ngo. No response yet. I will follow-up soon. I think Science For ME would be a good addition to the bottom of this page: https://www.omf.ngo/resources-international-support/

    USA: Center for Solutions for ME/CFS - news and updates from Columbia University's NIH funded center, Lipkin

    Yeah, it's clearly something they set up for the video. It's almost identical to what was used in the last video that they posted.

    Open Medicine Foundation (OMF) fundraising

    I promised to post photos of the bracelet - here they are for anyone who is interested (click to enlarge photos). I'm not sure whether these are given out free to anyone who does a fundraiser for OMF or whether they cost some nominal fee. I didn't get a chance to ask. A fact sheet from OMF...

    OMF website resource list - should Science for ME forum be on this list?

    While searching for a copy of an OMF fact sheet I stumbled across this web page: https://www.omf.ngo/resource-center-2/ It lists a bunch of resources, including patient forums, but not this forum. I have no idea what the OMF criteria are for getting on this list! But I thought I'd point it...

    Solve ME/CFS Initiative Community Advisory Council

    I the read announcement and the nomination form (PDF) which covers a bit more about the nomination process. But I haven't found out how large this advisory council should be. How many volunteers do they want/need for this council? I'm not planning to nominate myself, I'm just curious.

    Postcards to Doctors returns! (project from ME Action)

    Sorry, I don't have any references to actual research. My post was just meant to be quick summary of the announcement by the ME Action website. I hope this does not sound defensive! I don't mean it that way!:) I'm just not sure what you mean, eg, would like to change the way I worded things...

The aim of this project is to have patients (as well as friends, family and other allies) write doctors to urge them take a continuing medical education course. See Unrest medical education for information...
