I wouldn't fit that label, since "fatigue" isn't one of my symptoms.
I managed to block my PEM maybe 10 years into my ME. That means there's some mechanism that can block PEM. Why couldn't someone have that...
Might "hypersensitivity" be a better term than intolerance? It might better communicate that it's a biological dysfunction, rather than a...
Any tool can be used well, or abused. I was thinking more along the lines of a note somewhere in the criteria saying that a lack of PEM is not...
I'd like to see that part of general education. Start with elementary school, maybe with examples of toys that look awesome in commercials, yet...
I'm not suggesting that the general diagnostic criteria shouldn't require PEM; just that it isn't 100% required, and that some people will meet...
Is telling people that eating fast food might raise their chance of heart attack by 5% and cancer by 7% really going to reduce the times they pull...
Going back to short-sightedness is simply human reality. When not faced with imminent disaster, people will choose to support new entertainment,...
Aside from some treatments/supplements that cause problems if stopped, I highly recommend anyone who takes something long-term to occasionally...
Not necessarily. With bad management and ineffective monitoring of spending, actual patient care might not improve.
While PEM is a good criterion for cohort selection, I think it's important to point out that it is possible to have ME without having PEM, and...
Alberta's provincial government has restructured the health care system several times in the past decade, each promising to cut costs and improve...
I do see potential problems, such as small cohorts "proving" a biomarker, but results in many false negatives in a larger population, and once...
They chose (cherrypicked?) some symptoms vaguely replicating human symptoms of a disorder that isn't understood, and managed to find some...
Their conclusions don't match my experiences with ME. My "fatigue-like" symptom doesn't lessen my ability to use my muscles; it just makes me...
I hope their work is valid. It would be very useful to be able to measure fatigue quantitatively. Even if it's costly, the quantitative results...
I was wondering if ME symptoms could be mapped to specific brain regions, which could then be checked for commonalities. Some ME symptoms might...
I developed plenty of intolerances since my ME started, and they change with time. I go through periods where meat makes my ME symptoms worse,...
Wouldn't the BPS crowd jump on any new name, possibly to even worse effect on victims? Surely they'd say that the syndrome (their term) was...
A paper with a lot of inferences but no solid supporting evidence. It implies that taking probiotics should treat ME, but lots of us have taken...
Separate names with a comma.
