Minutes for November's Members' Meeting. https://forward-me.co.uk/16th-november-2022/

Adrian, I know you're really busy, but the MEA page for MERC and PAG desperately needs updating (https://meassociation.org.uk/research/cfsme-research-collaborative/). Perhaps now is a good time if this ad is to be posted, otherwise it gives inaccurate information about MERC and PAG. I think...

This is from their mailing list. Came the other day.

Amazing that these people see severe M.E in the clinic and still don't get it.

I would imagine this association might not apply to the LC-ME subset, and is in fact due to the association between BMI and possible cardiovascular / breathing issues, and the known extra risk of developing conditons such as diabetes after covid infection.

"The research also shows that people with long Covid are much more likely to need additional, and often lasting, NHS care than those who make a swift recovery." Mindblowing.

I pride myself on being able to find and understand information very efficiently, but I have no idea what 'Tantali fibromyalgic supplicium' means in this context. I suppose it's probably latin, but Google is not much help either.

Yes, I realised that! This is more common than it should be. I've seen it dozens of times.

I'm afraid much of the research in this area from Japan and China is not worth the paper it's written on. It's strange because in some areas — such as solid-state physics — they excel. "16. Kuratsune H, Yamaguti K, Watanabe Y, et al. Acylcarnitine and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. in: Carnitine...

No.

The address for corrections — which is the address I used — is: guardian.readers@theguardian.com I had to email twice because the person manning this email address misunderstood my issue with the article's title. But it was corrected after that.

I contacted the editor and the article title has been amended to include 'syndrome'.

I think you are misinterpreting. The headline, article, and paper are about one particular drug, not blood thinners / blood clotting in general, or other potential mechanisms, such as platelet activation.

As stated above, this has very little to do with long covid, so I don't think this damages the blood clotting hypothesis for LC (which I remain quite skeptical about).

Delayed onset muscle soreness — the healthy type you get after exercise.

I wonder what he is doing behind the scenes, in collaboration with people in Norway and The Netherlands in particular. I suspect he's trying to influence guidline updates and related exercises.

A 'conceptual model' of chronic fatigue. He really is down the rabbit hole, with his friends in the Netherlands and Norway. PS I advise people to screenshot Paul's posts to share here, just to document his nonsense. He's clearly not going anywhere, and I have a feeling he might even be ready to...

That's interesting. What is the disorder, if you don't mind my asking?

I don't think its the subcutaneous fat because the pain/soreness feels very muscular. I think I have issues with my fascia. Even before I got symptoms consistent with ME I always felt I had muscle issues — for example I have chronic problems with the IT band (essentially fascial/connective...

I actually meant I can 'feel' as in with my fingers. In specific locations, my muscles — especially the surface layers and fascia, just under the skin — are taught, lumpy, with small, localized areas of extreme sensitivity. I think there's objectively some sort of issue, at least in my case. I...
