If the mother having ME increases risk finding is replicated in a larger cohort, would that hint that something that makes ME more likely or...
Interesting that visiting “medically unexplained symptoms” clinics is a factor in self harm and suicide attempts. Very concerning but also...
My mother has suspected mild ME/CFS and I have very severe ME/CFS. I was also a student exercising 6+ hours per week which the thing says are...
I understand them not wanting to make a category for every symptom given some pwME have hundreds. But I really question how they treated PEM...
Really appreciate this comment. Thanks. I understood far more more reading it than 15 minutes spent on search engines trying to decypher the jargon.
(I think this is a testament to how much impact Chris Ponting jumping into the field has made, having a very renowned researcher like him in the...
I’m really liking Audrey Ryback’s work. Especially how she hedges her claims and doesn’t overstate findings. I really hope she stays in the field....
It’s really ironic they’re quoting in a paper about illnesses where people were often severely disabled by viral infections, and most decidedly...
There’s been quite a few examples of that, from Trump mocking a disabled reporter, to him allegedly suggesting disabled people “should just die”...

Well that’s just great. So we’ll end up with an understaffed mix of Wallitt’s, “Vitamins will cure you”, and “COVID isn’t real” type people. Welp.
“confirmation bias” “accessibility” “disability” “discrimination” “female” “implicit bias” “institutional” “mental health” “pollution” “victim”...
Is the mechanism behind this known?
In fact, digging into the wikipedia, it seems they classify anything they don’t know how to treat biomedically as psychogenic.
Reminds me when my GP said I have Polymania (a little used french word for a theorised psychological disorder where one has excessive thirst). I...
I get similar symptoms. I’m at the point where I have to take 2 antihistamines every day or it is unbearable. I hope you find answers.
Yep. If I had to log every activity I probably wouldn’t have enough energy to do anything else. At my worst, it would have been impossible...
