No mention of ME, which is too bad. It does add some details I hadn't been aware of before.
I did get a bladder infection once (year 18 or 19 of ME). Antibiotics did the trick. The infection didn't affect my ME symptoms (nor did the...
I'm not sure that the flaws in the study matter. I get the impression that even really well done studies that find something really significant...
I agree that reliable before/during/after testing should provide a better chance of finding what changes. If I was doing the testing, I'd want...
For me, I think 'always, but the severity fluctuates a lot' fits best. Also, 'cognitive impairment' would be a better term, since ME causes...
I suppose it's a start. Better data might be obtained by monitoring eye movements and body movements and stance and other such involuntary...
I agree with Jonathan: it's the lack of a clear physical measurement of ME that allows others to deny that it's a real disease. You can't...
I notice a huge difference too. If I notice that I'm feeling cold, it's usually a day with high humidity. With a dry cold, I can spend hours...
An additional problem is that ME seems to be a abnormal state that other processes in the body then try to maintain. Lots of us have had...
If that's not enough, they can call it 'quantum resonant biopsychosocial dysregulation' plus any other scientifically-sounding words that are...
My ME problems with TRP seem to be in excess conversion to neurotoxic kynurenines in the brain. BCAAs can block, or at least delay and spread out...
I had to look up "central sensitisation". It looks like some scientific terms mushed together in a way that sounds impressive, but doesn't...
I've encountered several treatments that worked well the first few times I tried them, then they stopped working and never worked again. That's...
The title was so absurd that I had to check the thread. :)
"These dysregulated microglia are hyperreactive to signals from the peripheral immune system, producing an exaggerated and prolonged central...
If you define green light as a certain narrow part of the spectrum, then yes, but you'll get more in direct sunlight. If you want to define...
Melatonin can help me fall asleep, although it's not all that reliable. However, if I take it after 2AM, it leaves me feeling severely groggy the...
I did suffer from neuropathic pain, but I treated that quite well with LDN, and after a year or so, I no longer had that pain. I still may...
With any of the sleep meds, I'd worry about dependency.
I'm convinced that problems in the cerebral kynurenine system are a significant part of my ME, so this paper provides another possible explanation...
