Yes, making this study pretty much useless, unless the improvements were really large. With the bias probably made worse by selective recruitment...
The authors' take on existing treatment guidance for Long Covid (and ME/CFS): Was there going to be a good trial of low dose naltrexone? I'm...
Yes. The article at the link in the tweet notes The article gives no link to the preliminary study and a feeble effort at finding it yielded...
Thanks @Evergreen. Apologies for my confusion. The article notes that the couple live in England, and had done prior to the onset of ME/CFS. I...
@Tilly, I honestly do have an open mind on this, but I did not find the video convincing at all. There's a discussion about ways to make a...
Yes, I want to reiterate those well-expressed points from @Jonathan Edwards and @Robert 1973. I'm not sure how we get many of our high profile...

Wasn't the last paper about cortical thickness in post-Covid condition worried about a reduction rather than increase? Edit: Yesterday's paper...
I think this looks interesting. As I understand it: Get blood cells from people with ME/CFS and healthy controls Make stem cells Grow the stem...

The levels that are considered elevated for any biomarker are often set somewhere around where 90% or 95% of the population would have a lower...
:) I'm not sure that is a clear sign of low risk.
I don't know how you would test drugs on some cells in order to find a cure for ME/CFS? I mean, it's not like cancer, where you just want to kill...
I do find this wide acceptance of MCAS being a common co-morbidity of ME/CFS a puzzle. I think it's worth investigating to get to a clearer...
Very sorry to hear that the process seems to have been subverted @Suffolkres.
@SNT Gatchaman, this is your field I think, what do you think about attempting to replicate this, maybe in conjunction with the Tairāwhiti MRI...
