The lactate theory seems to vaguely gibe with effort preference theory or functional disorder. I'm not saying that in pejorative sense; I think...
Maybe they could finance it as part of investigation for target compounds, funded by RECOVER or something. It's been-there-done-that for only a...
A single anecdote, no. But many about the same treatment could mean a possibility.
One way to get around that, I think, is off-label drugs. Make drugs available to patients to try as long as they are safe enough, accumulate...
Knowing the underlying mechanism helps, obviously. But the list demonstrates that it's not a guarantee for the cure. More importantly, neither is...
That was a poor choice of word on my part. I should've said "probably", not "obviously". "Probably" because immune system activation usually...
Here is an old NYT article that empathized with ME/CFS patients after the columnist suffered concussion fatigue for a month. She didn't mention...
I'd agree with @EndME. The problem with LC is that it is so widely defined with ME/CFS as a subset. Since ME/CFS symptoms are part of LC, it's a...
Thank you. I'll keep in mind that immediate PEM != rapid fatiguability from now on.
We could define "prolonged" means "not relieved by rest". I don't know if immediate PEM is same as rapid fatiguability since I don't have an...
That's true, they are not a representative sample. We certainly can't and shouldn't draw any conclusion from these studies regarding ME/CFS. One...
We already know exercise clears mind. No idea how one can connect cortical areas getting hyperactivated to self-protection. That takes a lot of...
This is something I've been thinking about. I still get PEM occasionally, especially in the Spring, after jogging 4x150m. But it usually lasts...
If you can afford it, you could look into Meta VR headset. AI says that you can read eBooks with it. Not sure if that would be any better than a...
There is a "Select to Speak" feature in Accessibility setting on Android that will read text out loud. I tested and it seems to read webpages and...
I'll have to. I haven't read a single book in the past 15 years, but I should get back to it now that I got my brain back. True, a statement can...
That is what I'm not convinced of, and I'm not aware of theorems that say so. That we don't know completely how the brain works does not mean that...
This is an important point that needs to be debated. I've heard that conditions like IH, CCI or even unidentified bone-infection can mimic ME/CFS....
This is the problem with "Long COVID". You can cure your post-COVID anosmia with garlic or something and say that you cured your own Long COVID.
I'm not familiar with Penrose, but he would be wrong if he meant that the incompleteness theorem can be defeated by biological brains. Only way to...
Separate names with a comma.
