    Are there subgroups of chronic fatigue syndrome? An exploratory cluster analysis of biological markers, Asprusten et al, 2021

    If I had the energy I'd compare this to their previous work on why the criteria doesn't matter, but I can't say I feel like it. Seems like many of the same arguments.

    In-Depth Analysis of the Plasma Proteome in ME/CFS Exposes Disrupted Ephrin-Eph and Immune System Signaling, 2021, Hanson et al

    Protein ratios may have a biological relevance, they may not. If the proteins are connected in some way, like they are both important for a specific function, a change in ratio between them could imply that something is going on in that pathway. But we don't really know what the normal ratio...

    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    My degrees are in biomedicine and in (soon-to-be clinical) nutrition. I don't think everyone have access to a journal club. I've been part of one, in neurobiology, where one of the professors were working on making a course for psychology students sort of like a journal club. From that I gather...

    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    As someone taking a health-care education, I don't understand where we students are supposed to learn to read studies or evaluate evidence. We have maybe 5-10 ECTS in scientific methods in five years of education. Some of my stat courses have been with med students, they don't seem to have any...

    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    Isn't that part of the mandate for Recovery Norway, to help research such conditions? I don't feel like reading their webpage to find out. You forgot the patients has to be newly diagnosed so they don't identify too much with the illness.

    Finding your own way to manage patients with functional disorders, Emmanuel, 2021

    I think it is purple kale and hot yoga, much better for detox.

    News from Scandinavia

    I was just going to post this. Haven't read it yet, but look forward to doing so (although I guess there will be a lot of distressing answers). I can't remember if I answered the questionnaire myself.

    Keeping Up Appearances - How to look good while feeling ill

    I have a capsule wardrobe, where every item I have fit together. Keeps my wardrobe small, but depending on what you already got/what you like to wear etc it can take some time to plan it out in the beginning.

    Fingernail defects?

    I don't recall any expression studies, do you have references? I remember two studies that indicated increased gut permeability/reduced gut barrier function, and one study where they found a mutation in actin (cellular skeleton component) I think.

    PEM: Swimming compared to other activities?

    That's definitely not my experience from hiking in winter. Then again, I would not be cold due to warm clothing.

    Fingernail defects?

    I have some nail pitting/Beaus lines (not sure when it goes from a pit to a horizontal line to be honest), I guess it has to do with my psoriasis. Only two nails, one of them almost never, the other one had a pit or line for most of last year, sometimes multiple. Coincides with my psoriasis...

    @Kalliope do you know how to get in touch with Sissel or Jørn? There are some errors in this post, when they explain the biochemistry. The contact form does apparently not work if I am to understand a reply I got just now that Trine is not using the blog service anymore..

    Food Implications in Central Sensitization Syndromes, 2020, Aguilar-Aguilar

    Yes, the practical This! ME was not mentioned at all when we were taught about different diseases where such help could be necessary :banghead: I did not read past the central sensitization, I just enjoy the topic :P

    Food Implications in Central Sensitization Syndromes, 2020, Aguilar-Aguilar

    Has to be included in everything, together with the importance of a dietitians guidance. Lest some forget we exist and need work :whistle:

    Food Implications in Central Sensitization Syndromes, 2020, Aguilar-Aguilar

    I would very much like to know. It wouldn't surprise me for moderate/severe, and even some mildly affected. Many symptoms of ME can disturb food prep and/or appetite. There is a rehab centre in my town where they sometimes have ME patients, some of them keep food in the drawer next to bed...
