Maybe they saw that by a few minor changes in their procedures, they could qualify for ME research funding. That's likely to happen with other...
I wonder whether long covid has the same 'treatments often work great the first few times, then stop working and never work again' syndrome.
I posted a link to a new finding on Phoenix Rising regarding another possible mechanism for ME affecting heart rate. They found glial cells in...
I'm convinced that ME is neurological, so I don't expect serum studies to reveal much other than some downstream effects.
This offers another possibility for chronic inflammation: those neurons might be maintaining the active state after the trigger has been removed....
Is there any way we can convince psychologists to come up with ways to fix their own problems? They shouldn't give (bad) advice to other people...
I'm unconvinced that this hypothesis fits with the rapid switching between full ME symptoms and full temporary remission. This switch of state...
I think if it was an effective treatment for ME, someone would have noticed it after taking butyrate supplements. I've had different antibiotics...
I came across this news item just after reading this thread, and it seems to fit it:...
I'm sure my microbiome would be abnormal. There are so many foods and food families I need to avoid that my food diversity is greatly reduced....
If they're studying the neurological effects of QA, I don't think they should be using serum samples. Most QA in the brain is produced locally....
Seems like a good candidate for further investigation. My brief skim made it sound like magnesium supplementation should have an effect, but I...
If the goal of a study is a desired outcome, for whatever benefits to the authors, it's all a matter of choosing experiments or carefully selected...
I can't recall anyone claiming reduction in ME symptoms from taking lecithin (leads to myo-inositol ) oranges or cantaloupes. Oranges (a source...
Good. It seems pretty obvious that there's a need for that.
We can't even clinically verify ME in humans, and going by questioning humans (who can communicate in words) is fraught with difficulties, so any...
Doesn't everyone suffer from post-exertion fatigue? I call it: "Getting tired". :) For ME, I prefer to use the term 'fatigue-like' instead of...
My ME also started with ‘I have felt that the flu is coming'. The muscle aches/body tenderness and overall malaise seemed identical to previous...
The trick is in how you define 'works'. For psychology/psychiatry, you just choose some unquantifiable targets and choose your questions to give...
One problem is that if you want to find a cause of something and there's no way to prove or disprove the cause, it's fairly easy to find something...
Separate names with a comma.
