@wigglethemouse I also find the increase in carnitine pathway interesting. I think carnitine helps me.
I think the Chalder fatigue scale is misleading because in chronic conditions, patients cannot accurately do what the scale asks them to do, which...
So according to this, the cells are still able to operate thanks to compensatory changes but they don't handle additional energy demands well....
It appears that having published research is a conflict of interest in some cases.
Maybe they also gave negative feedback and Cortene is lying about them too.
You're right. It could also be that (undiagnosed) ME and vestibular problems occur together often enough that at least some vestibular doctors...
Okay, but why does this document seem to describe something resembling PEM and advises something that sounds like pacing?

Don't fill it out. They will likely use anything they can to advance their agenda and ignore the rest. Misleading readers with cherry picked...

No research is better than bad research, and I think it is fairly clear by now that this is bad research. They appear to have decided that ME is...

I suspect neurasthenia never referred specifically to the entity chronic fatigue syndrome. In a textbook published in 1921, neurasthenia is only...
Are we sure that we're not misunderstanding something? Are they really saying that randomization is sufficient for a clinical trial to achieve a...
Is it useful to send them this study about albuterol vs placebo in asthma to illustrate that studies that do not properly control for bias in...
What was the therapy like? Do they try to convince you that you're sick because you're gaining so much from it?
I'm reading through parts of that book now (not sure which edition). I have now arrived at the section dealing with mental disorders. There is...
Interesting. I had the feeling there might be a certain ideological closeness. The policy on ME is basically discredit patients, prevent them...
Separate names with a comma.
