Going through covid might make people change their diets, activity levels, and stress over getting new illnesses, all of which could increase the...
I fit that!
The current crop also include the BPS garbage. There are hypotheses that involve specific molecular pathways, but at present we have no way to...
Even that might be useful. If one person's ability to switch PEM off by eating strawberries is a unique mutation, it's still affecting the PEM...
I had PEM from exertion long before I realized there was a connection. I think it took years before I accepted that the lousy days were generally...
It's too bad that we can't sniff books to know their quality.
So true. Two days ago a eye specialist asked me what ME was ... and despite years of reading descriptions here, I still struggled to explain it.
It isn't one or the other. There are a small number of PWME who have treatments that work reliably for them, for at least one symptom. We don't...
In that situation, wouldn't there be some people faking the disease and recovery, just to get "likes" or whatever people try for in those groups?
If 13 millions PWME try a dozen compounds each, just by choosing a food available locally that they haven't tried before, there's a chance that...
Since I haven't found any fancy drugs that seem likely, I select test treatments that are cheap, convenient, and safe. Containing untested...
I recently read some stories about cold immersion providing benefits, including improving autophagy. If it worked for ME, I would have expected...
That doesn't work if the problem is hidden deeply inside brain cells. It could be the contents of vesicles that only travel from one part of the...
I have thought that relative abundances of each fatty acid should affect membrane composition. Do the construction mechanisms in cells work from...
Whose brain are you offering for this taking apart? Also, human brains don't work very well when you take them apart, so you can't see the...
Are you more accustomed to using your arm muscles that way than you are using your leg muscles the way that causes PEM? For me, it seemed that it...
I must have missed those studies. What metabolic measures are abnormal? ATP production? Blood oxygen levels? Metabolic waste products?
I think muscles aren't directly involved in the mechanism of ME, but rather that signals from them can affect the ME mechanism. By this I mean...
I have unanticipated pain there too, but just one leg. It started after shoveling snow: I think it had to do with the repetitive sideways...
The problem with that is that the true believers will likely reject any trial that doesn't provide positive results, and it doesn't matter how...
Separate names with a comma.
