It's good that someone realizes that understanding fatigue (and fatigue-like states) is important. Hmm, Big Pharma might not like this, since it...
I recently read about a different technique using TMS to induce electrical pulses in specific areas of the brain. I'm not sure which technique...
Since FND is so poorly defined, you can probably equally validly claim that "FND is common in patients who <watch reality TV, put ketchup on...
Does living through Alberta winters count as "whole-body cryotherapy"?
Assuming that the results are valid, the next step would be to figure out which component is helping. A multivitamin/mineral tablet had a...
Nope, doesn't work for me. The only time I can fall asleep other than nighttime, is when I'm seriously ill (viral infection or whatever). Then,...
For me it was abruptly losing PEM (after cumin treatments). Most of the other symptoms remained ( I also lost the need to take T2 every 21 days)....
There's so much disinformation published about ME, that it was a nice surprise to see a book about brain chemicals that pointed out that there's a...
I think there are enough PWME who didn't have a viral trigger to dispute the claim that ME is "of viral origin".
For some reason, an image from an old Frankenstein movie immediately came to mind. Electric arcs zapping a creature, while the mad scientist...
FWIW, that applies to me too, and that's after I managed to accidentally cure my PEM. I still have the same set of symptoms (brainfog, lethargy,...
They use Fukuda criteria (how many would qualify under better criteria?) for the ME group, and compare it against health controls. This...
IIRC, SCFAs produced in the colon mostly get used in the colon; only 8% or so enter the bloodstream, so it's unlikely to have major effects on...
I still think that's a misconception, or at least it doesn't apply to all PWME. For me it wasn't energy limit; it seemed to be muscle damage that...
Yes, but this thread is also making assumptions of the cause of the lack of physical ability. "No energy in the tank" implies that there's...
Physical strength and stamina are not a function only of ATP; there's a complex set of systems involved. Think of a modern gasoline engine: it's...
No, those are two different aspects or forms of 'fatigue'. You could be unable to walk a mile due to metabolic limits, but you could also be...
It's sad that something so obvious--that 'fatigue' is still undefined and not understood--is newsworthy as an observation from a research study....
Yes, but that's just one possibility for a test for ME. A test for ME is an important goal; much more important than a test for just one ME...
I've noticed quite a few studies lately about the complexity of the brain: neurons, glia, blood and glyph networks, various chemical and other...
Separate names with a comma.
