I pored through this paper all day long to figure out what is new. We already knew MECFS is a centrally mediated disorder. There isn't much in the...
One of my pet peeves is that all MECFS papers use HV or similarly deconditioned subjects as the control. What about similarly sick people? Does...
Maybe, maybe not. Another possibility is that parietal junction may be asleep to begin with because of physiological changes. They could've easily...
I couldn't parse this sentence that sounded paradoxical. Then I realized after reading subsequent paragraph that it basically was blaming pacing...
Can't comment on PASC since it is a different animal, but there is no evidence of inflammation in MECFS. Association with inflammatory cytokine...
I've always wondered if certain types of stress have the power to prevent PEM. There have been multiple occasions in my experience where I was in...
I'd think "software" refers to memory, belief and conditioning. Just another term for "it's all in your head". It's socio and psycho portion of...
I think this is the crux. The report was about "fatiguing illness", not post-viral fatigue syndrome or MECFS, presumably to warn clinicians and...
Yawn, yet another 12 week exercise study with very small sample. I don't know why they even bother. If they looked, they would've known that there...
The weird thing about these papers is that their conclusions/interpretations have nothing to do with the results or their hypotheses. In fact,...
I don't see the "quantitative" portion of this study, unless they are calling QI quantitative. That would be oxymoronic if they did.
I don't know why they have the need for "interpretation" when the study only found the depressive symptoms, whatever they are, correlates the...
When I became chronically ill in 2008, I continued social interactions -- maintain contacts, attending parties, inviting people over -- for about...
Havana Syndrome may qualify. It has similar neurological symptoms, but I'm not sure if it includes PEM as a symptom even though it includes...
Not sure what you meant by "not analogous", but we can be also fairly certain that the result of 2-day CPET test is a manifestation of PEM. I'm...
Medical research predicts in the form of (testable) hypothesis. It's rather annoying to me when I see a paper that philosophize and sensationalize...
Dully noted :) I myself prefer to call PEM post-exertional sickness, or CFS chronic flu-like sickness. We should stick to sickness rather than...
The conversation then predictably devolved into what PEM really is, obviously because you have to know what it really is before you can really...
Nobody said feeling doesn't matter. But measuring feeling just for the sake of the feeling gets into the psychology domain. And Trish's objection...
Yet another example of repeating what's been going on with MECFS for the past 40 years. This is the problem with "starting with clean slate"...
Separate names with a comma.
