You might want to look at my Qeis article. For me ME is a defunct concept that was always too muddled to be useful. Basically a confusion of two...
You are not being dim. I think you have hit the nail on the head. I don't see the validity of the exhaustion idea as an immunologist. Edit: andI...
I think the Hng piece is fairly realistic. The great majority of physicians I know do not really have ME/CFS on their radar. Nearly all have never...
I understand that it can be over interpreted but I was using it in a combined argument with the fact that first day CPET in ME/CFS tends to be...
I agree too but note that the biggest problem has been just this focus on function justifying GET as an answer to ME/CFS to increase function...
No I probably misread that but they do reference that garbage review on 'EDS' and chronic pain. And they seem to accept that EDS has 'similar...
'Long infection' is something we have been well aware of for at least fifty years. But it is a very organism specific thing. Nor virus persists,...
I didn't see any reference to EDS there.
This all gets quite metaphysical and when I said thing I was being general. BUT is you want to be purist and metaphysical then the modern...
That list is simply a string of un-evidenced or meaningless statements presented as expert advice. The paper is presumably just a bid to justify...
ROS generation in infection is local and as far as I know not a major feature of viral infection. As an immunologist this quotes all sound to me...
Since when was EDS a functional somatic symptom disorder? This seems to be some sort of professional consensus, while being medically illiterate....
The only possible reason for this group of people co-authoring a paper is to further a political objective. Unlike a proper review this is written...
Maybe it has not occurred to Caroline and others at the MEA that a very large number of sensible physicians are likely to agree that the patients'...
All sorts of mechanisms may well have gone under our radar. The mechanism I based treating RA on had gone under the radar of immunologists for...
There seems to be a deep lack of common sense in psychological theorisation that pops up in all these ideas. We are told that a pathological...
Yes, I agree that researchers seem not to be even trying to model that long term aspect. Theories about mitochondrial function or low blood volume...
And judging by reading a bit more of the thread the thresholds seem pretty much all over the place both for different people and individuals...
Yes I get all this stuff but I am trying to make the point that I think in unravelling the problem scientifically the biggest mistake is to...
I don't see any particular reason why. I am finding it hard to see how this concept of proteolethargy relates to disease if it occurs in both...
