At least the thread title made me smile. :)
Your poll should have allowed multiple selections for 'didn't improve' or just had one selection for 'didn't improve regardless of when taken'....
I hope there's some good followup research on this.
Well, I scored zero. :facepalm: It's all guessing what the 'experts' guess is correct, since they don't actually know for sure.
It may not be as simple as standard neuroinflammation, but I'm still convinced that it's part of my ME. My ME symptoms always increased with...
21 years, constantly mild with varying degrees of feeling a bit better or worse. I've had quite a few symptoms and sensitivities occur and change...
Did they compare this to any other pain reduction techniques? Maybe females are simply more likely to check 'improved' rather than 'no change' on...
Aside from the psycho-nonsense issue, different brain activities have different effects on overall feeling. Playing a strategy game past 2:30 PM...

Is there any way we can convince psychologists to come up with ways to fix their own problems? They shouldn't give (bad) advice to other people...
I'm unconvinced that this hypothesis fits with the rapid switching between full ME symptoms and full temporary remission. This switch of state...
I think if it was an effective treatment for ME, someone would have noticed it after taking butyrate supplements. I've had different antibiotics...
