The sample size was so small that by hunting around in the data you could have found a way to support any number of hypothesis. Especially with...
Probably not the right thread for it, but they did look at 197 unrelated hEDS patients a found a third has this kind of variant.
Abstract Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) is a common heritable connective tissue disorder that lacks a known genetic etiology. To...
Well CBT and GET has been tested and shown not to work. If we had no data on these treatments at all I would be fine with a study being run. But I...
Any treatment trial in ME/CFS would receive pushback from many people and for good reason. All sorts of treatments only seem to work in certain...
I would really like more work to be done on orthostatic issues. For me this is one area where I think progress can be made with just a few well...
It could be the 250ccs of saline that contributed to improvement (although I would think that would only be temporary). Do we know how often the...
I am of the opinion that besides some general demographic data we can't know too much aside from whatever the diagnostic criteria require. The NIH...
I have found LDN helpful, and have taken it for a few years now. Of course it could be placebo, but I have tried plenty of drugs and its the only...
That makes sense. Maybe it's possible for there to be temporary differences in blood flow in and out but after a while the blood would force its...
If blood flow out of the brain was reduced could that cause issues?
They probably liked the short online CBT intervention because it required the least effort out of these useless treatments.
I'm not opposed to the idea as I think it is clearly true that the feeling of PEM, just like fatigue and pain, must be produced within the brain....
How much energy does it take for T cells to proliferate? It is plausible to suggest that the proliferation of a certain type of immune cell has a...
I think that is a very important point. I used to be sure that cognitive exertion itself could drive symptoms. However, I have realized that I am...
Didn't watch the presentation but I did see that at least one, if not more, of the controls were closely related to the participants. Given that...
That is an important point. Even if we get good evidence that this is occurring in ME/CFS it may be the case that it is a response to another...
I assume it also regulates brain temperature as heat can't effectively radiate through the skull
My thinking on this is that there is a group of symptoms that occurs from exertion in ME/CFS. There is also a group of symptoms that occurs when...
Did you try to exert yourself while you were infected? Also I presume you had ME/CFS at that point so that makes it a little hard to figure out...
