Interesting about the vivid dreams with LDN. Vivid dreams can be a ME symptom. I have vivid dreams after having foods I haven't eaten in while, as well as sometimes when I take probiotics.

Gotta get me some of that red ginseng. (Actually, I've tried ginseng. It didn't help ) ETA: fixed typo

Yes, it also assumes stress is the cause of cfs.

The question of course arises, is this more than just a correlation? Some pwFM develop this disease following auto vehicle accidents.

Hi @SunnyK Health Rising is a legitimate website, having just completed its 10th anniversary. The founder, Cort Johnson, is a long-time ME veteran. This is his steady blog about ME, Fibromyalgia, Long COVID etc. He has interviewed several scientists who research these diseases, and more. I...

Efgartigimod is also being looked at for Myasthenia Gravis: 2021 Jul;20(7):526-536. doi: 10.1016/S1474-4422(21)00159-9. Safety, efficacy, and tolerability of efgartigimod in patients with generalised myasthenia gravis (ADAPT): a multicentre, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial...

Let's also have this training in Canada. Maybe it has recently been included in medical curriculums, I don't know. However, as I've said on other posts, a medical student I met last year, who had completed a significant portion of his training had never heard of ME.

Thank you for this! Under the section about blood clots, one could substitute the term "ME" for "Long COVID", in the Guardian article about desperate patients trying unfounded "treatments". Very familiar stuff.

Attention bias discussed in the article, is of course viewed as a problem in other areas of health care. As in: Patient: "Doctor, could you order an MRI for my, fill in the blank pain?" Doctor: "No, if we find something wrong with your fill in the blank, you will focus on it too much." Given...

Noted in this paper, the practise of the insurance industry depending on this pseudoscientific model to deny benefits for legitimately ill people. I'd like to add that while the insurance industry accepts and supports an unproven model as scientific fact, what it normally or often demands from...

Ditto!

Signed. :) (From Canada)

This info gives one pause, especially at this time of year.

It is so very wrong that early in diagnostic and treatment investigations, thoughts turn to psychological problems. Why bizarre symptoms and behaviour don't promptly bring MRI brain scans to mind is not a mystery, as the go-to bias is often to blame the patient. A very sad state of affairs...

GET and CBT seem very seductive for researchers and practitioners. Part of their appeal is they're cheap. And, negate any further cost or effort from governments, health care workers and the insurance industry.

ME is skirted around during most of my encounters with health care workers. I imagine they do see it on the form I've filled out. They don't ask about it. Once in a while I used to provide abbreviated/valid info (e.g. CDC etc.) about it, but got tired of the eye rolling. IMO it's an...

My diagnosis was CFS in 1991. It is rare I have to deal with the stigma of the harmful term CFS, because I never provide it as my diagnosis, while in conversation with health care workers or others. However, that very unhelpful label is on old reports. (A few months ago I told a young...

This has been proven by examining the flaws in the psychosocial research: no validity to the claim GET and coercive CBT are safe for ME, CFS, or ME/CFS. I completely agree and always have. I've had CBT counselling, and exercised. NOT a treatment or cure for ME, CFS, or ME/CFS. Absolutely agree...
