So, trying to summarise what I've learned here so far. A true low reading is due to low oxygen in the blood. This is obviously important in the...
Can't comment on the new version but back when I could still read books I got an older edition out of the library. Meh... Just looked up the...
They looked at ME patients both before and after exercise but for the controls there only seems to be one time point? Also, the numbers of dots...
Fukuda would be fine if they made sure it was Fukuda with PEM. Which I'm hoping Dr Levine would have done. But unfortunately not made clear in the...
I don't know enough to judge how good this hypothesis is but testing it asap and thoroughly does seem worthwhile if only because we keep getting...
If the purpose of the public thread is as a resource for journalists would it be an idea to have several public threads, each on a different,...
Some sort of atypical autoimmune problems may well be going in ME, or in subgroups of ME, but calling them characteristic of ME seems to be...
Maureen Hanson sums up the whole sorry saga: [MEDIA] "The BMJ article from Paul Garner shows the danger of assuming that the course of long COVID...
This really worries me. Also, a biomarker may not be widely accessible, e.g. if it requires expensive scans or the sort of tests only a few labs...
Yes, there's bound to be significant bias. People with fewer resources, be they financial, social or cognitive ones, simply won't get diagnosed....
Yeah, but they didn't specify what sort of pain. The fatigue and headache combo after cognitive exertion is not unknown outside of ME. Plus they...
Has anyone been able to access the full paper? PEM induced by cognitive exertion is underexplored, or should I say it's even more underexplored...
How did you get on? In my experience reactions can depend on where on the body you test. I react to wool (lanolin?) if it touches my neck or wrist...
Will this be translated into English? At least the bit about the different time courses should be more widely available as there's been so little...
Was too long to read for me but it's possible to listen to it as a podcast, about 51min, which I did. Pretty good.
I borrowed one for a while. With warm hands - a rare event - my oxygen levels were always 98-100%. With cold hands - most of the time - they...
The infuriating thing is that nobody knows. It's scandalous that nobody knows, that there hasn't been anywhere near enough research to be able to...
Yeah, I have been wondering about that for a while. Could explain the seemingly non-viral onset cases. Presumably the old corona viruses, just...
Have now read the paper (https://sci-hub.se/10.1016/j.jpsychores.2017.10.010). Despite being loaded with BPS authors it doesn't actually lead to...
For most basic purposes a sleep tracker is overkill, I agree. But I do see a couple of uses for them if or when they become good enough to...
Separate names with a comma.
