Yes, but my post was just making a humorous connection to Mithriel's avatar. Poor bear. Surely finding your teddy all poked up would cause ME. ;)
I'm definitely an outlier. Others have reported ME with no loss of physical performance, but I also was very effectively treated by cumin and T2,...
Adverse childhood events? As in "You developed ME because you found your teddy bear stuck full of needles when you were 3 yrs old?" ;)
That's an important part of science: establishing the reliability of new measurement techniques. Without it, a study of ME brains with this...
It makes perfect sense to me. You used muscles beyond their normal limits, which triggered your immune system to clean up the damaged cells, and...
I suffered malaise after exertion, so that's within the definition. It doesn't say post exertional endurance loss. That didn't seem to be part...
Actually, I'm a poor choice for explaining the differences, because my PEM was non-standard in some ways and I never had crashes. I've simply...
Maybe if they subdivided the groups based on astrological signs, or first letters of their names (or their pet's names), or some other such random...
"Our research goal is to make some random numbers appear to say something we want them to say." :rolleyes:
If I had to vote on a term listed so far, I'd go for 'cognitive dysfunction'. I imagine it as something subtly altering the functioning of...
Yet another understudied component that could be involved in ME.
I recommend keeping a food/activity/symptoms journal, as detailed as you feel up to. As you've found, human memory, even without ME, is too...
The B12 = niacin error jumped out at me too. :) What was missing from the abstract is that they only measured serum and urine levels of...
Even before I knew about ME, I was aware of how TRP increased my symptoms (unless I also took BCAAs), and how exertion and viral infections...
Just think about all the parts about B12 metabolism that researchers haven't even discovered yet. :)
Another older study that found something possibly useful...but was never followed up on?
Maybe these were people who didn't have ME to begin with, and found a different diagnosis. I also wonder what the results would be from people...
It sounds reasonable to me. I'm convinced that my glial cells are closely involved in my ME, so this fits. It might not require increased ATP;...
My ME trigger wasn't clearly an infection. A tetanus booster may have been the trigger, but the first notice of something being wrong was what...
Another study with limited knowledge of how varied ME really is. Some of us don't suffer from physical fatigue or a significant reduction in our...
Separate names with a comma.
