I think that is a pretty neat encapsulation. I especially like "underpinned by a state of energy depletion", which is not a phrase typically used...
That just feels right. The other half of that question would be: Do the mechanisms that fight the illness, themselves consume additional energy?...
Agreed. But evolution tends towards fostering behaviours that overall benefit the survival of species. Which will tend to include behaviours that...
Agreed. The brain is in many ways a central control system, but much of that control is going to be very low level, way below anything people have...

It could conceivably be that only PwME exhibit PEM, but they may be a (majority?) subset, with other PwME still within the broader ME set, not...
Are you suggesting @TiredSam lacks empathy? :rolleyes: :).
I think @TiredSam was indulging in his special brand of wry humour.
I ponder this also. My wife, I now realise, is relatively lucky - as lucky as anyone can be having ME :(. She is mild/moderate I think, and has...
Be interesting to know in due course if anyone comes up with a reason for this. Seems clear now there was no hoped-for causal link. Was it just...
Dashed hopes can be such a b*gger.
I would have thought real dedicated researchers fully appreciate that's the name of the game they have chosen. They now know one route to not...
:rofl::rofl::rofl:
And if they do they won't be able to defend themselves.
Maybe we need a wishful thinking thread ;).
There's an old joke that used to do the rounds ... "How can you tell if a politician is lying?" "You see their lips move" The joke is portable.
