Long covid has made the idea of persistent infection much more credible. One argument against persistent infection in ME/CFS has been that as the...
I wonder about this too. FND has some patient support now, but in 20 years, will the majority of FND patients rebel against what they perceive as...
I read the article by FND portal. I see nothing in there that would validate a diagnosis of FND. The person has some neurological illness that...
I've had an arginine infusion as part of a medical test and it made me feel good. Maybe that's got something to do with NO?

Since RA is not generally associated with PEM that suggests these microclots are not causing PEM (at least not alone). If we ignore that for...
Having thought about this, I don't care if it makes no sense or doesn't fit with established knowledge. We need a replication to confirm or refute...
I hope this means that there will soon be a replication attempt. It does look like the kind of finding that would help us a lot in making sense of...
