If blood flow out of the brain was reduced could that cause issues?
They probably liked the short online CBT intervention because it required the least effort out of these useless treatments.
I'm not opposed to the idea as I think it is clearly true that the feeling of PEM, just like fatigue and pain, must be produced within the brain....
How much energy does it take for T cells to proliferate? It is plausible to suggest that the proliferation of a certain type of immune cell has a...
I think that is a very important point. I used to be sure that cognitive exertion itself could drive symptoms. However, I have realized that I am...
Didn't watch the presentation but I did see that at least one, if not more, of the controls were closely related to the participants. Given that...
That is an important point. Even if we get good evidence that this is occurring in ME/CFS it may be the case that it is a response to another...
I assume it also regulates brain temperature as heat can't effectively radiate through the skull
My thinking on this is that there is a group of symptoms that occurs from exertion in ME/CFS. There is also a group of symptoms that occurs when...
Did you try to exert yourself while you were infected? Also I presume you had ME/CFS at that point so that makes it a little hard to figure out...
How similar is PEM to how one might feel after they exerted themselves during a bad infection? I'm trying to think back to when I had an infection...
This is the study mentioned by Younger in his most recent video. Couldn't find a thread on this paper.
In this pilot study, a human intravenous injection of low-dose endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) model was used to test if fibromyalgia is...
The idea of measuring the signaling response to a stimuli is a good way to go about this. If there ends up being a signaling problem, there has to...
What about a shift in how certain brain cells are utilizing energy. If there is some subtle shift in the way energy is generated perhaps cells...
It must also be the case that almost everyone is using the term incorrectly. Most of the websites I have visited suggest that FND is due to some...
Ahh ok I understand the nuance now. People with FND do not have any pathology but only in a definitional sense. It is impossible to have FND and...
I thought we agreed that FND is a label to describe a condition where some symptoms can not be currently be attributed to some identifiable...
Some threads discussing papers which showed abnormal brain lactate:...
I don't think it was expected to be a cure for GWI. Even finding a treatment helps with symptoms can be useful and tell us something about what is...
