Ah, now I see that. It says "diagnosed rate" on the title and then "with diagnosis" on vertical axis. It's not the best graph I've seen.
Yep, survival matters only because you have no chance at reproducing if you are dead. And you can't reproduce either if the peahens don't let you....
I looked at it again just to make sure. It said "diagnosed rate per 100,000". I take it to mean the diagnosis rate, not number of people with the...
It occurred to me Tortoise or Koala with ME/CFS could survive longer than a lion with ME/CFS. They don't have to chase food or run from predators....
The charts say diagnosis. I'd assume typical diagnoses not that far off from onset. I'm sure there are exceptions though. That would be a good...
All 3 charts seem to show the majority of diagnoses are past the age of 40. What am I supposed to look at? Maybe we have different definition of...
This caught my eyes because I thought about before. Two things I came up with: 1) ME/CFS is largely a disease of the middle-aged and older who...
If not correlated, it can't be causative. But rest assured. EBV and other viral theory will live on, as it has so far.
That may be true, but the same thing applies to virus trigger: there is no conclusive evidence, and we simply assume that the virus triggered the...
But they are not unknown. Many of those cases are traceable to common denominators just like infectious cases are. There are diseases that are...
The microglial m0, m1, m2 and primed states are well established, I think. So is the transition between them, and that they cause fatigue, pain,...
That some viruses are asymptomatic does not mean they trigger ME/CFS, or anything else for that matter, on people not known to be infected with it...
I thought @rvallee was asking about litmus tests to reject a given model. Are we now working on a model instead? I still think primed microglia...
If you were diagnosed with infection, then you had an infection. If you didn't, then you probably didn't. (Unless it was something obvious like...
Dosaging LDN is very tricky, I understand. Maybe dextronaltrexone that doesn't have the dosage limitation of LDN will finally make or break the...
That reminds me, the alcohol and flu-shot intolerances may need to be accounted for, in case they haven't been mentioned yet. Those seem fairly...
PEM, brain fog, and non-viral trigger. Most of the theories -- FND, viral persistence, mitochondrial dysfunction, muscular damage, you name it --...
I don't know how the results suggest the interaction between the two. For all we know, the neuroinflammation, if confirmed, could be causing...
‘There is so much anger’: Havana syndrome victims frustrated CIA isn’t blaming Russia for symptoms This is sort of follow-up story after the...
Sigh, this folly of anecdote and analogy is keep getting me into trouble. I made up those numbers. I'll make up for it by actually measuring the...
