Removing fatigue from the name would be a bit misleading since it is the main symptom. That being said, incorporating autonomic dysfunction /...
All the time I read papers claiming that they found abnormality X or Y or Z, but very rarely are those abnormalities replicated in multiple well...
I have both. I feel like I have no energy to do things and when I try to do them my muscles and cardiovascular system give out very quickly. To...
This seems like a dead end to me, considering the Rituximab results. Maybe dysregulated B-cells are a downstream effect of something else thats...
What a poorly designed trial. How can a waiting list control group account for the placebo effect? They could have used a sugar pill at least. We...
It is quite likely that the blood brain barrier may be involved in the pathophysiologically of ME in some way. Many sufferers (me included) report...
Glad to be able to help. I think the paper's theory is not that far fetched. After all if the blood cannot go to the arms it has to go somewhere,...

If herpesviruses are at the root of ME/CFS, then how come we are currently amidst a long-covid (which is almost certainly CFS) epidemic caused by...
This is strange. I would have expected those trials to find harm. Maybe this is because the diagnostic criteria for participants was too lax,...
Exactly, a classic case of post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. This is a very common phenomenon unfortunately. On the long-covid reddit for example...
My bet is on pesticides. In Scotland many people reported getting CFS after being exposed to sheep dip (anti flea / parasite agent for sheep)....
I get insomnia and some neuro symptoms from MSG, so glutamine / glutamate definately affects me in some way.
That's how I experience it. When I do aerobic activities I feel lactate build up, this feeling comes up extremely quick, like my body immediately...
Yes, there is no way cortisol is at the root of ME/CFS. Certainly, reduced cortisol might be an effect of ME/CFS, but not the cause. Unless we get...
Don't want to be a debbie downer, but this theory sounds way too simplistic to me.
Temporary remissions do indeed give us some hope that this thing is not permanent and irreversible (eg. like brain damage). Unfortunately I can't...
Hi there, I see you are new to the forum, welcome. You raise some good points about the test. I do think there are sub-groups to CFS, ie. not...
