Another potentially useful tool for figuring just what's going on in bodies. Even if this sort of testing shows no differences between PWME and...
Shhhh! That was carefully done to get numbers that looked good. After all, the goal for publication is numbers that look good, regardless of how...
Perhaps a good control would be to have another set of patients watching Disney movies, or Action/Adventure movies, or cooking shows or nature...
Not really. We seem to be developing ME from immune activation events, whether viral or other microbial infections, or physical trauma ... or...
Yay! A published study that doesn't claim to be an effective treatment. There should be awards/rewards for publishing negative findings. Maybe...
One more possibility: monitor the nerve signals, and process that data to look for abnormalities. Maybe signals are travelling differently on...
Some of us, myself included, can do fairly strenuous exertion without triggering PEM. I've had periods where I've done strenuous daily exercise...
From a quick check, it looks like sodium channel function can be measured with existing technology. There are radioactive sodium isotopes for PET...
For some reason, the first thing that popped into my mind was "The Emperor's New Clothes". Someone people are impressed by (or want to impress)...
Depending on the language they were written in. ;) It sounds like the author is claiming that poorly-defined kinda-sorta-similar symptoms are...
Oh, then why has there been any fuss about them? I didn't read any of the reports about them (waiting for some confirmed interesting findings),...
No, definitely not beliefs. There are various well-known disorders of perceptions. Some people might smell colours or hear textures. Some...
I thought of an experiment that might be useful for the microclot theory: take samples from different parts of the body and compare numbers of...
I had, and still have depending on various factors, the perception of muscle aches in my front thigh muscles. I'm pretty sure that there's...
Klingon probably doesn't have words for "fatigue"or "I don't feel well". Such weaknesses are just not spoken about.
As a cause of ME, or just as something that worsens existing ME? I suppose there could be some cases where a persistent infection could keep a...
Pick the bad psychological research paper of your choice. Translate it to a different language. Does that improve the bad science? Language,...
I wonder whether this could allow localized immune activation. For example, maybe it could activate astrocytes directly around a vessel, altering...
I have no doubts that my immune system is involved in my ME. I'm also convinced that my glial cells are involved. When I had my temporary...
I definitely agree with that. I think many of PWME's symptoms are perceptions of feelings without the physical/chemical abnormalities that...
Separate names with a comma.
