I'm having trouble deciding what my honest response is, because I've been avoiding certain activities and durations of activities for so long that...
Unfortunately, yesterday I read a comment in another thread recommending ignoring any Chinese studies involving health and religion/tradition, due...
It would be pretty hard to convince normal (very busy) people to assign 2 hrs of their days to deep meditation ... just to improve their poo...
That makes me not interested in reading the study. For me, the first 4.5 mg dose provided complete blockage of that pain by the next morning (<12...
It's at least possible that people with less grey matter than average are more likely to develop long-covid, or at least report more severe...
Maybe there simply isn't a strong correlation, with ME and Covid, or ME and vaccines. Some people will report worsened ME from either of those,...
I had a cytokine assay done, and a few cytokines were elevated or mildly elevated. The immunologist's interpretation was "There's something going...
Another factor: easy global communication means that everyone has access to the latest papers. Science is about asking questions, and if you do a...
As for the study recently discussed, I'm at least slightly biased to accept it, simply because its findings about LDN match my experiences with...
The problem is that ME has individual responses. There are plenty of instances where a certain treatment worked well for one individual, made...
It works well for me.
That would certainly have shown positive results for my trial of LDN. I went from occasional trudges (limited by pain) to multi-hour daily hikes....
The problem might be that they realized that they didn't know enough about the brain's systems to model it in a worthwhile way. A few days ago I...
Right, neither can be clinically measured or even clearly defined. I don't put much weight on studies based on reported pain or fatigue, because...
I did plenty of experimenting with LDN. The effects on my pain were reliable. I forgot doses reasonably frequently, and it was the re-emerging...
I agree that using a fancy word doesn't make it more meaningful. I do believe that ME is an abnormal state that adapts to maintain itself....
I like the concept, and hope that it will spread to other researchers. However, a study based on self-reported questionnaires is pretty flimsy....
LDN is my second or third best ME treatment (cumin wins the trophy!). It was very effective in blocking my neuropathic pain: muscle aches...
How do they know that those mice have chronic fatigue? Maybe they just bred a bunch of lazy mice.
When I read a paper and it claims that whatever their theory is, the statistical evidence is somewhere around the 'accepted' level (.05 or...
