I wonder if that's the result of ME being uncomfortably caught between acute and chronic illness? With acute illness we generally expect that we...
A mixed bag, also apart from the uninformative abstract. The idea behind the study seems reasonable: people with FM and pwME struggle to exercise...
That was my first thought, too. But I expect that somehow they'll manage to twist their findings into a version of there's nothing wrong with the...
A clear improvement on the previous version. :thumbup: One thing I find annoying is that this page - in common with seemingly every other ME/CFS...
This. When well rested I have a sort of bi-phasic sleep, i.e. go to sleep ok, wake around 3am for a while, go back to sleep, wake around 5.30 am....
Question 1: what is GFAP? Question 2: what relevance would elevated GFAP autoantibodies have & could that really be a biomarker (if the finding...
Heads up to anyone in the Tauranga region and fit enough to attend meetings. The Neurological Foundation is running a series of events, one of...
There seems to be a fashion for systematic imaging reviews. Here's a similar one (link below). Both conclude current studies are too few, too...

This. Because too few have been interested enough to even try to have a look. Plus different people use the terms differently, to ensure maximum...

Impressive work @Michiel Tack :emoji_thumbsup: Decidedly unimpressive response from Cochrane :emoji_thumbsdown:
Lily Chu making sense, as usual.
A more nuanced review of placebo. Have only skimmed it, so my summary may be a bit off. The gist seems to be that under certain conditions, some...
I think the key here is that it's not measuring fatigue itself, it's measuring the impact of fatigue. To my mind, what this MS Fatigue Impact...
Can somebody explain figure 2B and the text relating to it? So the text says no significant difference in muscle fibre generated mitochondrial...
To be fair it is vastly better than it was, which was utterly appalling. Still not good, exactly - the exercise bit is way too garbled for that -...
Ha ha. I often say that if only I could remember all the things I have 'learnt' listening to podcasts I'd be a very wise person by now. Alas...
Is there a way of testing metabolic profiles in those different microenvironments?
This thread has gone a bit quiet. Let's see if we can revive it. I'm currently binge-listening to the "Subtitle" podcast. Just a few of the...
