Thanks Ben H, and for your tweets. Yeah, sorry if that wasn't clear, if I'm understanding you correctly, that was what I meant to convey (and it...
So, you might think that it should be possible to find more IFNa in the blood of people with ME/CFS. But yes, I don't think you are kinda dumb...
So, the guts of it is that there is an infection, the presence of the pathogen is recognised by toll-like receptors in the cell, causing the...
I was doing a bit of work on something else, and came across this paper: I won't make a separate thread for it because it's pain, not ME/CFS...
Yes. Q. 3 Do you feel exhausted? Q. 5 Do you feel energetic? (measured in the inverse) These questions are essentially asking the same thing....
See this thread for commentary on the finalised evidence review: (CDC) Diagnosis and Treatment of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue...
I didn't mean so much the cost of the appointment, more the cost of getting to a single clinic, repeatedly. That could mean international or long...
Well, we are fairly sure that they are pretty much everywhere. Indeed, if it turned out that they aren't in a place that is inhabited by people,...
My country's Long Covid guidelines note that there is no consensus as to whether ME/CFS is associated with Long Covid.
@rvallee, is that chart illustrating just one aspect of the viruses e.g. the spike protein? I had read that SARS-CoV-2 was closest to a bat virus...
While I think avoiding getting covid-19 is a very good idea, there may be some 'correlation is causation' thinking here. People who are very...
Is that true?
Yes, there's lots of overlap, and an outlier in the healthy controls. The sample size is small. It looks like there are two groups in the ME/CFS...
Here's a key result from the 2023 study: [ATTACH] In activated (as opposed to resting) natural killer cells, fatty acid oxidisation is, on...
That's bit of an unusual way to put it. I wonder what the incidence of ME/CFS following Covid-19 would be classed as - a clustered outbreak or...
Very clear, accessible and nicely presented video, and work out of Maureen Hansen's lab is typically pretty solid. Jessica Maya says 'it's a...
I listened to the first webinar and found it good. The scorecards largely speak for themselves and are worth a look. Much of the webinar was...
Post-Ebola syndrome is similar (perhaps the same? as) ME/CFS. Ebola persists in immune-privileged sites and cannot be identified from blood...
If the person doesn't have significant fatigue/exhaustion/fatigability, I don't think they would qualify for an ME/CFS diagnosis. I'm not saying...
I questioned that myself, as we created the pathway. Part of it was what was politically possible. But there was also no strong reason to...
Separate names with a comma.
