The only secondary outcome that the authors claim showed any difference was in this same small strange mild/moderate stress category. [IMG] And,...
I've tried to find out how many patients were in the post-hoc mild/moderate groups. I don't think the paper tells us that anywhere. Table 2 gives...
I had to laugh at that. Stress-related trouble. Despite that, they had to screen people with FM in order to weed out those who did not score...
Interesting to note that the FM patients had normal levels of Mg in the serum and in erythrocytes at baseline. However, it's noted that magnesium...
A research update from OMF-supported researcher Chris Armstrong Chris Armstrong - Melbourne ME/CFS researcher, research updates
That's a really impressive amount of money being provided by the UK ME Association.

I don't think this tells us anything much, other than these researchers were ill-equipped to be carrying out CPET research on Long Covid cohorts....
Persistent SARS-CoV-2 Effects Induce Neuropathy Signature in Dorsal Root Ganglia Underlying Hypersensitivity in a Hamster Model, 2022, Serafini et...
(Catching up on our backlog of reports) It was debatable where to put this thread - the standard research forum, or the psychosomatic research...
(an old paper, mentioned on another thread here) Interventions for the Treatment and Management of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Systematic Review...
The drop out rate was not unreasonably high, but there was probably a skew as to which type of patients dropped out. I can imagine those who had...
From the abstract only The sample is hospitalised and high risk patients. PASC as defined here is not Long Covid or ME/CFS, simply one or more...
ABSTRACT Background The incidence of persistent clinical symptoms and risk factors in Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) in diverse US...
Really, this idea that an infection could cause damage, sometimes permanent damage to nerves and so affect body function should not be so strange....
