A few muscle fibers with internal nuclei, a few scattered atrophic fibres, small vacuolizations in some fibers in one section. Prevalence of type...
By the way, I'm currently in a long period of substantial improvement to point where I can do prolonged and moderately intense exercise and...
FOXP4 was recently found to be associated with long covid.
I agree, this should be common sense because that's where the abnormalities are most apparent. It's a problem of recovery from exertion, not a...
I met a person and we did something together. It was great. A bit awkward at times. We now have plans to do something again when the weather...
Is there an explanation somewhere? Is this an inherited mutation or one acquired later in life? What is the controller gene? Edit: answering my...
Another important message from this paper is that we may have been missing highly significant genetic abnormalities in ME/CFS because of technical...
Thanks for all the comments and support. My plan to learn how to socialize again has been set back by the cold season, which is taking away energy...
The difficulty is distinguishing ME/CFS from other similar conditions, not from healthy volunteers or amateur athletes. Am I missing something?
How long will it take for publication of the first findings?

It sounds as if the findings are at best an incremental step. We've been at the "is it an abnormal immune response or an infection?" stage for...
Nath talks about a host or foreign persistent antigen. If I understand correctly that means he is not sure whether it's autoimmunity or a...
Science for ME has been good at launching petitions. Can we make a petition that asks the EU to stop funding psychosomatic research of this kind?...
It seems that the NIH is favoring the "persistent antigen" hypothesis. [MEDIA] Does this mean autoimmunity, a persistent infection? What else...
Also I'm horrified by what treatments that manipulate the perception of symptoms will do to fragile patients. Getting a person to deny their own...
Yes it fills me with despair. Just look at this immensely stupid circular logic here: By definition, unexplained persistent symptoms can only be...

With friends like these, who declare your illness can be cured by the benediction of a religious figure, who needs enemies?
What this study seems to show is that wishful thinking and defects in critical thinking are widespread among ME/CFS patients, and that some...
