I'm looking for studies that assessed levels of functional impairment and levels of activity (ideally objective - steps per day, hours of upright...
This is not an either or issue. AIDS activities directly targeted NIH and also went to congress. In our case, there are significant parallel...
Not sure if this is helpful but just in case... To improve consistency of data being collected across studies and thus the comparability of those...
Ughh - that study. Only 17% of the patients were unemployed due to their illness and only 8% of patients maintained a CFS diagnosis two years in a...
Havent seen the full paper yet so it will be interesting to see what limitations are listed. But US doctors across the country diagnose CFS and...

I'd think the very fact that researchers are using exercise challenges specifically because exercise exacerbate the disease adds further support...
AFAIK, in the US at least, patients have gotten the tests through research labs or in some cases through commercials labs when the tests can be...
I've understood the evidence for NK cell dysfunction differently. Articles in 1987 and 1990 by two different groups both found low function. And...
AFAIK, others have replicated the findings, although I have heard one researcher who did not. The IOM report said quite a bit about NK cell...
The IOM discussed the following but were criticized even in 2015 for missing key studies: 1. impaired immune funnction with a highlight on NK...
There's a lack of replication and some inconsistencies but the IOM report concluded "Sufficient evidence supports the finding of immune...
Just to clarify... The CDC ME/CFS website does not recommend a specific ICD code and it does not use the term "SEID." It has used the term...
Just to clarify... the only country in which CFS and ME have two different codes is the US. Every other country follows the World Health...
