I know a sure-fire cure for brainfog: just wait. Eventually you'll be dead and your brainfog will stop. Yah, not really helpful either. :rolleyes:
I fit the Canadian and International criteria for ME. I did have neuropathic pains (still do when ME is worse). I definitely had PEM. My ME...
When I heard that the vaccine was now available in Alberta for my age group with chronic health conditions, I wondered whether ME would qualify,...
For me it is. There are a bunch of tasks on my 'todo list' that I just don't feel like doing. However, if it became critical to do them, I...
As far as I could tell, my ME didn't cause any effects on my muscles. I seemed to maintain the same level of strength and endurance. For me it's...
It's not quite that simple. The perception of fatigue or pain involves signals from sensors, and communication through the nerves, and...
I agree that it looks like cherrypicking, and only a teeny tiny cherry at that. I also agree that "perception of fatigue" is correct for the...

Procrastination in action. Could they have prepared better for post-viral problems, or for a global pandemic in general? Of course, but budgets...
I don't know much about the other disorders that were used for comparison, but I expect that most of them have actual medical services available:...
Just what have we learned about ME that can be applied??? Avoid things that make your symptoms worse? GET/CBT won't help? Don't expect actual...
I'm pleased to see that they're taking the need for CFS samples seriously.
The problem is that we don't yet understand ME, so we can't definitively say that some symptom is or isn't due to ME. I haven't heard anyone...
Looking for patterns can be a powerful tool ... but it can also lead to silly things such as random patterns of stars in the sky being interpreted...
I agree with arewenearlythereyet: this 'Nobel-candidate' hypothesis seems to boil down to: "something in the body is malfunctioning!". Unless...
Nice to see that they included covid-like controls.
Negative results are useful too. :thumbup:
Someone should do some studies of microbiomes of patients with broken bones, gunshot wounds, or other such trauma. Will they find changes in the...
