The discussion on the effects of steroid treatments on ME/CFS has been moved to Corticosteroids, hydrocortisone, prednisone for ME/CFS
So many reasons why the Laren et al review is flawed

If people want to discuss this, we have a thread: Gastroparesis and post-prandial pain
A post on an interview with David Systrom has been moved to David Systrom, researcher, Brigham and Women's Hospital, USA
