Again, examples of small studies with noted issues, combined with low funding, and lack of will to thoroughly investigate. Anecdotal, very small sample size: n=3 family members; 2 with Fibro, 1 with ME; all three have gynecological issues, including endometriosis, fibroids, and ovarian cysts...

I recall reading that gynecological problems are more common for women with ME. I believe it might be higher in women with Fibromyalgia too.

Not only humans develop IBD. I wonder how BPS advocates would use mindfulness-interventions for domestic pets. Cuddles and treats? :banghead:

I've been meaning to read this book: https://quickread.com/book-summary/smile-or-die-368

Denying people's reality again! This would be gaslighting.

Yeah!

Disability insurance companies often automatically deny claims for long term disability. Especially for diseases such as ME.

Thanks @Trish ETA: I have trouble finding earlier threads and posts. I type in under the "Search" function, and am sometimes successful....

Thank you @Mij for your post. It appears the study you've posted, and the one I've added below both used Doppler technology. Although ME isn't mentioned in the article you posted, IMO it seems there is some potential for reduced CBF to be considered a secondary biomarker for ME. I'm saying...

Ah yes, my recall was that he is not a doctor, but one or maybe more websites said "Dr.", so I went with that. Thanks for noting your experience with this...

Dr. David Berg's hypercoagulation hypothesis has been discussed before on this Forum: https://me-pedia.org/wiki/Hypercoagulation_hypothesis#:~:text=Dr.,genetic variations related to coagulation. Additional info on Dr. Berg's theory: https://www.anapsid.org/cnd/diffdx/hypercoagulation.html

Yes. What I took exception to really is the finding if it is one, that people with POTS have lower education levels. PwME know from their own, or others' experience that their financial status drops. And, due to ME being well and thoroughly stigmatized, our circumstances are reduced in other...

I question whether POTS is actually even associated with lower social status. Forty-three pwPOTS is IMO not a large enough sample. This is only n=1, but it is interesting that the POTS participants had GI issues. Prior to ME, and POTS I had IBS, and motility problems. I wonder if eventually...

Hi @SNT Gatchaman How did you do this test? Thanks in advance for your answer.

When I stand for a few minutes I start to feel weak, lightheaded, and uncoordinated. It's more difficult to think/brain foggy/headache increases etc. On another thread I said I walk about 15 to 30 minutes while shopping. That's broken up with rests. And, I have trouble doing the walking even...

Interesting. It would be good to have this study done with pwME.

A similar example is when governments have financial restrictions during peace time, and don't adequately assist impoverished people, or those with other very pressing needs. But, can flip a switch to have lots of money available during conflicts.

What treatment for ME is transferable to Long COVID? There is none, unless the discredited (for ME) treatments CBT and GET are considered. (CBT is considered a support for ME, not a treatment or cure. GET, as per patient surveys, and lack of science based evidence of rehabilitation or recovery...

Wonderful this dedicated and very determined scientist has found the physiological cause of this. Wow, often people have to figuratively climb mountains for years in order to get to the answer. This definitely applies to "women's issues". Appalling history regarding this condition. Not...

Totally agree. It is very difficult to sort out which causes what on the micro level per pwME as well as on the macro level for biomedical researchers. Exertion also causes PEM for me. But while at home I can rest by laying down, but while out and about I'm not able to. My exertion while...
