Nice idea. What with all our metabolic changes it might very well work, too, eventually, just as soon as we have figured out a way to diagnose ME...
You appear to have ME on top of... ME....
Just checking I'm understanding you correctly @Creekside. Are you saying that: a) an IFN-g rise about 24 hrs after physical exertion is normal...
No idea. Google just turned it up as is. Going by the address it was posted by Solve ME/CFS in 2019 - so not that long ago - but searching their...
Has anybody been able to ignore the rather irritating certainty about what ME is according to Hyde and looked at the actual qEEG study? The way...
Clarification: Just realised that the term "cognitive PEM" is ambiguous. It could be interpreted as cognitive symptoms of PEM after either...
Haha. No, it was more a case of great minds think alike. ;):) I'd drafted my 'provocative' questions but was hesitating to post them because I was...
I think you are a little too hard on the authors of this particular study when you look at what they had to work with (the fact that after all...
Guilty admission: I haven't voted either. In my own poll! :bag: I've started to doubt whether what I thought I knew about my own experience is...
Good question. I've always assumed - based on no evidence whatsoever - that the sore throat is part of the general sickness response symptom...
I think that must be the case. The physiological changes underlying PEM must surely start during exertion, there can't a be a switch that suddenly...
Could be the law of unintended consequences at play. Consider how so many patients, advocacy groups and biomedically orientated researchers and...
Full poll question: Please compare your typical PEM from physical overexertion with your typical PEM from cognitive overexertion. Consider the...
Yes, it was pretty good. The reporter committed a couple of 'chronic fatigue's - somehow that seems to be unavoidable - but apart from that it was...
In mice. A new study has detailed the damaging role played by the immune system in a severe brain condition most commonly caused by the cold sore...
The study makes the important observation that some pwME already have PEM from travelling when they turn up for their day 1 CPET. This raises the...
This may be a language thing? Both in this study and in others before I've been surprised at how few participants endorse flu-like symptoms given...
Yes. This should have been done decades ago. But better late than never. Hopefully this will help dispel the myth that PEM is the same as...
Have only read the abstract - and that's all the energy I'm prepared to give this - but to me it sounds like they only tested the how well the...
A feature of brain fog I think. Sometimes I need to use so much mental energy to simply remember what options 1 and 2 are I don't have any energy...
