I think it is worth noting that the CSI is biased to diagnosing women as having central sensitisation. There are two questions that relate to...
Essentially yes, although the details are slightly different. Substantial effort went in to selecting GPs who supported the idea of central...
Yes. Although the differences in BMI, smoking and activity levels between the fibromyalgia and sex and age matched controls aren't massive. And...
A discussion about the prevalence of various sorts of involuntary movements has been merged into an existing Symptom Discussion thread:...
When a test was negative: GP 13: “Not that I think it will make me doubt the diagnosis, but I did have a story in mind and then I couldn’t explain...
Yes, the survey is circular nonsense. 1."Central sensitisation" (having symptoms without any identifiable pathology) has this set of symptoms...
Another account attributing benefit to enoxaparin treatment is now at [Case Report] Treatment of Long Covid with Enoxaparin, 2025, Wright, Kell,...
Yes, although it's easy for people to say the perception of fatigue of the healthy males after some bicep curls or whatever is quite different to...
I think the way people like O'Sullivan get around the issue of patient confidentiality is that they 'fictionalise' their examples. I think they...
How about The ME/CFS Peer Review, or just 'The Peer Review' (given that you often cover topics beyond ME/CFS) There are two of you, a pair. The...
I like "ME/CFS Skeptic", but perhaps that is partly because I knew what to expect when I first read one of the blogs. I think ME/CFS Science is...
GNAI2 googled snippets
On TSP1 (thrombospondin-1, THBS1) US: Annual ME/CFS Working Group Meetings from 2020. Stanford/OMF
All that said (re my post), GNAI2 and TSP1 proteins do look to be different (both increased) in some of the LC cohort, compared to the other two...
I like the introduction. I like that there are matched groups of Long Covid, recovered and healthy controls. Group sizes are small though. The...
Yeah, unfortunately it's a bit questionable. For example: Participant 2 had physical deconditioning, anosmia/ageusia and difficulty concentrating...
If anyone is familiar with the technique used to identify the proteins and feels inclined to describe it here, that would be great. They then did...
Hmm, this study comes across as overly definitive and over-confident in the abstract. There are no recovered controls, so they avoided major...
[ATTACH] Thanks @forestglip. Chart 1k confirms what I had calculated: 9/14 fully recovered people were men (64%); 8/21 LC were men (38%)....
An odd definition of severity, not related to impact on function, only number of symptoms. It doesn't sound as though the control group was well...
Separate names with a comma.
