It might be, but then it might be something of the same sort but importantly different. When I had Covid I had 'sickness behaviour' as for flu. I...
One point I just realised is that if someone is sitting up almost by definition they are at risk from aspiration because any gastric contents...
I am not sure there is anything very robust. But impaired oxygen extraction would suggest to me that the cells had received signals that inhibited...
I don't really follow. I am suggesting that ATP is not being used because its use is blocked or not switched on probably via the balance of...
There are lots of theories but I don't see those as ME. I see ME/CFS as a clinical pattern of illness that we want to find the right theory for. I...
Yes, that sounds right. I see at least two aspects to the immediate difficulty of doing something and with Sean there seems to be agreement that...
Indeed, but that is a different issue. One thing that I intend to add in my updating of my Qeios article is a statement that the word 'functional'...
Because I see it as the central truth of the problem - and I doubt anyone will get anywhere until that is openly discussed. If the problem is...
My impression is that picking up problem weight loss is not the weak point. The failure comes in getting a strategy in place for coping with it. I...
Yes, sure, everything is suspect, but if you spent a month as a neurology intern I don't think you would come away thinking that 'functional'...
Yes, but I doubt many neurologists would say there are no non-epileptic 'seizures'. There will be true epileptic events with little or no...
Surely this is a common situation. If I have severe pain in my back I cannot bring myself to do something that will exacerbate that pain however...
But is it in fact Dr Weir's experience? I am not aware that Dr Weir has given patients IV saline. Maybe he has, but as far as I know without...
I don't know anything, I am not claiming to. But I am suggesting that what is often assumed isn't known either. There is nothing to suggest a...
I understand that - which is why I include in the concept of intolerance both a sense of intolerability and a simple impossibility to do things....
That would be my assumption. When we suddenly feel we cannot even stand up, or have to vomit, with 'gastric flu' that is not because of a sudden...
Discussion moved from this thread There are a few issues with this. Firstly exhaustion is the big factor it seems for many. Which leads to a...
It certainly seems as if there was no coherent plan, based on experience with ME/CFS patients, within the hospital. But it is not clear that Dr...
The problem is that for systems with complex regulation it is never that simple. Take my lawn mower. After being used for ten minutes it starts...
It involves putting a tube through the skin into the stomach. It is done endoscopically. I am not sure what more one can say.
