Thanks for correcting that. I guess some researchers are a bit behind others, or have some reason for not reading known medical literature. I...
Interesting. I wonder whether activated platelets might communicate with RBCs, causing the abnormal deformability observed, or the vascular...
So, where are the reports of people with brain fog who use these common drugs and find that it reduces the symptoms? Theories and in-vitro...
ME seems to affect immune system function. Could that allow viruses to attack the body more effectively, resulting in some of the observed (yet...
I can imagine this leading to hospitals touting their wonderful "patient engagement" policies ... and blaming all the failures on the patients.
The immediate problem I see is that these factors are all unmeasurable; they depend on personal judgement. I don't see it being all that much...
If you're asking a medical centre for a doctor who accepts that ME is a real disease, it might help mentioning that you're not expecting treatment...
Do keep in mind that there is no "one way that fits all" for ME. I haven't checked the literature, but I expect it comes down to "learn from your...
Those are the easy solutions to difficult problems. Write a prescription for antidepressants, and that means that the problem is solved. Of...
No, I can do overhead work if I get accustomed to it. I just haven't done much of that for a long time, so those muscles (and blood vessels?)...
When I see results like that, my question is: would that group have had similar results if the treatment was magic crystals or other such things?
Some people laud the English language for its flexibility, but that flexibility creates problems for science, where precision is important. I can...
If "weakness" means reduced physical strength, that's another symptom that not all of us have. My ME never reduced my physical strength or...
I see my case as "curing PEM didn't affect the other ME symptoms", so PEM isn't the root cause of those symptoms. Also, I think many of us suffer...
"Fix" ME by passing new social policies? Have a big fancy conference, talk about the philosophical issues, and then all PWME can go back to their...
"PESE involves an abnormal worsening of symptoms and cognitive and physical functions after any type of normal activity." My PEM did not trigger...
I greatly disagree. It's a symptom of ME, and not absolutely part of ME. Curing PEM doesn't do anything for the rest of the ME symptoms (it...
Yes, I can imagine significant (limited) funding going to trying to understand and treat subgroups that are only due to psychological differences....
I don't feel like reading the paper, but the abstract doesn't mention controls who were chosen for similar levels of exertion reduction, dietary...
These may be subgroups for symptom presentation. For example, if the core dysfunction for all PWME is astrocytes having some part of them that...
