Soooo.... just to play a little bit of devil's advocate, I welcome the study. Yes, there are some issues regarding criteria for judging symptoms...
Cross-linking to @MeSci's post on Carmine Pariente's latest paper 'Persistent fatigue induced by interferon-alpha: A novel, inflammation-based,...
Hi @Woolie, I came across this thread whilst looking for forum posts on Ranitidine. If you don't mind me asking, how are you finding Cimetidine...
Even then, it's hard to argue that NKC function would be a valid biomarker for ME/CFS given reduced NK cell function is also seen in depression:...
And we're glad you did - excellent summary. 2-day CPET (with 48 hours inbetween) seems to be the best biomarker for now - but they've always...
Recognising that knowledge is a spectrum (e.g. despite a lot more funding, we know surprisingly little about ASD, IMHO) and so it's not a binary...
Good point, I had assumed it was from that study due to the number of participants, but that's quite possibly wrong.
I was mulling this over and I think *theoretically* you could get the p values mentioned with an N=18 sample. I agree with the above that...
I'll be interested to read the full paper when it's available (or perhaps if it's available - if this is an abstract of what will be presented at...
To add: the study also cites this paper (that I hadn't seen before) that has the frankly astonishing fact: If almost a third of multiple...
New Scientist has a good overview here:...
Can an inferior version of Marmite really be considered a unique contribution? ;-)
Thanks all. Lots of helpful replies and, as suspected, heterogeneity in experience (like absolutely everything else with ME/CFS...) From what I...
Two weeks ago I spent a week in the US at a work conference (Recap: I have generally a mild, though there have been prolonged times housebound and...
I've just read Cort's overview of the hypothesis (I'm still to watch the OMF videos - are they broken down on YouTube yet?) and other than giving...
I massively agree - the point here is not around whether ME/CFS is a physical or mental condition (and if, as I think most likely, it turns out to...
FWIW, I would be cautious about thinking this will lead to a specific biomarker. As Milo notes, a biomarker would need to discriminate between...
There was quite a long delay in follow-up as they'd filled the quota but then apparently got extra funding to do more scans, which is when I was...
Worth noting that a team at Oxford are also looking at lactate levels...
