Just looking at the inter-quartile ranges, there's a great deal of overlap: ME/CFS: 59 - 354 Fatigue, not ME/CFS: 40 - 252 No fatigue: 38-209 My...
They seem to have made a good effort to diagnose ME/CFS:
I think we may have commented about this before, but I'm not keen on the Moreau team applying the inflatable cuff as a stressor and then making...
Not sure if you've had a chance to watch the video yet, @Midnattsol, but Maureen sets up her talk very nicely around your point about asymptomatic...
