I wish this paper had been published while Prof Hawking was still alive. It might have made him think twice about accepting an invitation to...
Jonathan, however implausible, can you conceive of any possible way in which CCI could cause ME symptoms in some people without it having been...
The finding could also mean that there is a sub-set of people with ME who have specific symptoms which others do not have (eg worsening of...
I’ve now read Jen’s blog and I thought it was well written. She says a lot of the sort of things that I have imagined I might say if I was ever...
First, great news for Jen. Let’s hope her remission is permanent. I have often dreamt of what she must now be experiencing, and it must be...
I’ve not got the capacity to read through this thread at the moment so apologies if what I say has been said. First, thank you to @Jonathan...

I am desperate for a diagnostic test but we should be mindful that such a test would only change things for those who test positive for that...

I agree that if it proved to be a unique biomarker for ME/CFS it would not matter if whether it was a cause or effect of the illness (although...
At the risk of getting no likes, am I alone in thinking that SW comments were surprisingly sensible and even quite helpful? I sincerely hope that...
Thanks for the summary @Simon M. Perhaps we should try to persuade some of the BPSers to volunteer to have blood transfusions with blood from...
But, as understand, it doesn’t exclude the possibility that a significant proportion may not share that common pathophysiological pathway. And, of...
