Looking at this document two things send out for me. Firstly it is written like an advertising brochure rather than an evidence-based guidance...
Anything that alters our behaviour has to be a real physical shortcoming. All mental events are physically mediated as far as I am concerned. I...
Roughly yes. But I think it may be too simple to talk of energy as in ATP availability. During infection the body wastes vast amounts of energy...
A simple thing to do is to stimulate the muscle directly with electricity, which will overcome neural inhibitory signals. It is that sort of...
I think the suggestion was that this was centrally mediated, which it might be. There might be overactivity of neural inhibition mechanisms of the...
I think it is more likely that regulatory control of voluntary muscle use is screwed up. If you twist your knee you cannot voluntarily contract...
The British Journal of General Practice is not strictly speaking a research journal. It is a professional journal - it represents the interests of...
I think we need to distinguish POTS from POT, and also from 'dysautonomia'. POT is a particular clinical finding of increased heart rate on being...
I think I need to see actual data to be able to make anything of this. Fisher seems to be studying cultured lymphoblasts. I am puzzled as to why...
I think not. As far as I can see the paper provides no evidence for anything much.
I fear that if CBT 'goes down' that LP will go with it.
@Jaybee00 Has Dr Fisher published anything or are these preliminary findings reported at a conference?
There seems to be considerable uncertainty about this. All the quotes of up to 10% I can find seem to make a diagnosis by inference from symptoms...
The author seems to be bothered by the thing I was bothered by - why the two electrodes are so close together. I don't understand the need for a...
Actually that comment seems to be incoherent. I have no idea what the person thinks they are meaning.
But you had said muscle (and mental) fatigue! That seems pretty nonspecific. Are there other sorts of fatigue? - I am not sure.
Yes but I am not suggesting that ME is having the flu. I am simply saying that the sort of signalling that occurs, probably with a different...
This is a key point. If this was all hypothalamic/neural then I don't know of any superimposed cycles of sensitivity of the signalling system that...
I actually think this may be consistent. It is purely anecdotal but if I am brewing on infection I may find that when I go to bed I am sore and...
yes I think so
