And has it been disproven?
The problem is that once the body gets into the hypoactive state, it might get stuck. See for example: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19165314/...
Yes. It's just a preprint for now (I thought it was just published properly today, but it's just a healthrising article). They do a literature...
It's not like arguing that vaccines cause autism, as that is not based on any evidence. I'm not sure what you mean that "stress hormone is not a...
The study you just posted showing that reducing sympathetic activation doesn't help patients, and the studies showing hypoactivation of the HPA...
Here is a review of perpetuating factors, which are mostly cognitive: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022399910000632
Yes, I'm aware of it. IIRC that drug suppresses the sympathetic response, but in ME/CFS the problem seems more likely to be hypoactive...
The problem is knowing what to measure, and being able to measure it. Also, the things you mention are all related to acute stress, not chronic...
We know for certain that stress can cause physical symptoms. We can't say for certain if one person's symptoms are caused by stress. I think it...
Well, this is indeed a problem with stress. It has multiple aspects, but you can still test those aspects. For example, you can measure stress...
In the example I gave, anything that activates the sympathetic nervous system or CRH (which are normally activated in sync). Although that is just...
I think you should check that study. From what I remember it did actually find much higher levels of anxiety depression and stress in the ME group...
Yes, I am familiar, and I'm not saying it is easy. No, that doesn't seem to be the case from what I can see. There are many who definitely do...
I think you're missing the point that patients don't know what is happening in their bodies. Stress and infections, for example, can cause very...
No, it's not merely opinion, as we have many studies showing that stress is a preciptating factor, that rehabilitation and stress management...
Yes, but the point is that some things can potentially help that shift, and that is what these brain retraining programmes aim to do. I'm not...
No, it's not that simple. Of course exercise alone isn't a cure. We know that. The key point is doing activity and exercise when your body is able...
Did you miss the studies I posted in response to Utsikt?
That's good, but not all patients manage to do that, and it's also difficult to tell the difference between PEM and other causes of symptoms. And...
Not exercise specifically, but activity in general. And I think there are a couple of different points to be made. First, yes, they won't be aware...
Separate names with a comma.
