Not for pwME, but here is a pre/post-exercise and recovery study that collected blood samples immediately before and 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72...
So, low CBF was caused by low cardiac output. Which means low CBF or perfusion is more likely a symptom or intermediary rather than the immediate...
For healthy people, fatigue actually comes in waves after an exercise. First is the metabolite getting dumped into the blood stream. Then comes...
There are all kinds of ways to qualify and quantify the "exhaustion" in ME/CFS, but, for what it's worth, I think it is just a spectrum of...
If FND treatments - CBT, psychotherapy and what have you - equally doesn't work on FND patients and non-FND patients, then maybe FND does not...
Is it really necessary to prove that LC is not an FND? It seems to me that they should prove that LC is an FND and they failed in that regard...
