Is this a treatment study or a symptom provocation study? If it's the latter, a HIIT workout will be harsh but effective.

Wow, it's clear that knowledge of PEM and that exercise isn't safe is spreading throughout medicine based on this.

Agreed. Who on Earth calls stigma a symptom?

I don't agree with your criticism. I looked through the paper. It doesn't treat long Covid as psychological. It doesn't treat the suffering of people with LC as fake. It cites factors such as grief over becoming disabled, social isolation caused by reduced social functioning, stigma...

Good point. That's a major problem with metabolomics and microbiome research.

I don't find the $10 test useful. Plenty of people will pay for a treatment they thinks helps a little, but is just a placebo.

They hit it out of the park with their rebuttal.

It's rather speculative if you ask me.

What can you make of this paper? I highly doubt assuming long Covid lasts 140 days is a good measure. Especially when people with more severe LC are likely to stay debilitated for longer.

Sounds like a blip.

No, it doesn't. They listed this as a limitation. They seem to compare two different groups, rather than the same students before vs. after infection.

I don't see the commonality.

I would sign up immediately if they took Medicare and it was available here. I'm very uncomfortable with doctors who don't understand ME because suspect I have medical PTSD. Pennsylvania might come soon--I imagine they're prioritizing the biggest states--but I'm not holding my breath for...

There's a new ME/CFS telehealth service out there called RTHM Health. They started as a specialist service for long Covid but have expanded to ME/CFS, POTS, and some other disorders Their sign-up form implies they're currently accepting patients from Arizona, California, Florida, New York...

Agreed. Getting a few tubes of blood drawn hurts a little but I know exactly what it feels like, versus the unknown of a fingerstick.

We need a study like this on ME/CFS, to prove the viral assocation. It's a shame it hasn't been done already.

As its main symptom is PEM, ME should be classed under exercise or exertion intolerance. The researchers hired by the CDC concluded there isn't even enough evidence to write guidelines. In an ideal world, this would feed into research funding decisions at the NIH.

We need something better, like a study following a large cohort of pwME.

It's good except for the fact they interviewed Peter White to both-sides it.
