If true, that would be interesting, possibly showing that PEM was due to immune system activation.
I think I have more trouble falling asleep if music is playing, since my brain is trying to follow it. This may depend on a person's noise...
Would the lack of increased ventilatory effort when feeling "ME-fatigued" be reasonable evidence that it is not peripheral fatigue? I don't...
How much effect does environment and activity have on cortisol levels? I'm just wondering if measured levels could be misleading because the...
I hadn't considered that possibility before: that ME's "fatigue-like symptom" might be a misperception of normal levels of whatever signals the...
I expect there are "fatigue"-causing mechanisms in addition to the ones known to be caused by pharmaceuticals. There are probably others that are...
I'm impressed by the ability to remove specific cells from capillaries. It's not like moving some dropped items before vacuuming.
Yes, it it can for some people, temporarily. So can many other things that aren't corticosteroids. Whacking a malfunctioning piece of electrical...
If cortisol levels are relevant, why doesn't supplemental cortisol reduce the symptoms?
Good review. I've seen so many people excited about some study, ignoring the many other studies that didn't support the findings.
They should have selected a few controls from other chronic diseases. Does spending 2 years not enjoying your regular activities also change...
I definitely think of ME in terms of feedback loops. Which ones though? There are so many in our incredibly complex bodies. I do think more...
They said "with similar symptomatology", but how similar? Maybe the similarity is only due to how the questionnaire about symptoms is worded?...
I think this is the kind of lack of knowledge that ME's secret can hide in. ME's symptoms are similar to sickness behaviour, but SB isn't...
I've had plenty of experiences where despite doing the same sorts or levels of fatigue-causing activities--or resting--the previous days, I'll...
I think any of the brain stimulation methods, electrical or magnetic, have potential for altering brain function temporarily, and sometimes those...
Early in my ME, it felt good to lie on my woodworking bench, with sunlight shining on me. Not close to the ground, but the hard surface felt...
I didn't realize I had intermittent AD/HD. Does that mean I have intermittent lead levels too? Looking though that list again, wouldn't people...
Not really, since there are so many other factors involved. I recall the example of cancer rates correlating with living under powerlines. Those...
I think they were wrong to use the term "fatigue", since that's poorly defined, and the definition or recognition differs between people. My...
