True but a "subtle shift in brain function" is a useless definition that tells us nothing. Eating a hamburger causes a subtle shift in brain...
I actually see them as very similar. I think FND is based on a scientific error much in the same way as you see hEDS. Just like you think there...
How do we work out probabilities for something we are essentially clueless about? Regardless of whether FDN is a subtle shift in brain function,...
I don't think Hannah is being conned. She isn't knowing being lied to. However, the truth should matter to her if she actually cares about what is...
I will almost certainly take people with FND at their word that their symptoms exist and may be debilitating. If people with FND feel that label...
Would that definition not include ME/CFS? I can see how a functional diagnosis might help certain patients who are content with their lives and...
Except they don't provide any evidence that this is what is going on. If they had evidence of non structural brain malfunctions they would be more...
I do not see a clear distinction between exertion intolerance and PEM. If we are using exertion intolerance to describe a worsening of symptoms...
How about if in people with POTS the brain vessels do not sufficiently dilate to ensure that blood flow remains stable? I presume there are very...
Could it not be the other way around. Perhaps, when upright, the brain gets less perfusion in people with POTS for whatever reason and so heart...
Does lower body negative pressure have the same physiological effect that being upright does?
That's the million dollar question if this is actually happening. As far as I am aware a few possibilities are: reduced cerebral blood flow, some...
The study itself showed that these psychiatric diagnosis had no impact on the measured parameters. What is more interesting to me are the...
It is also very hit-and-miss for me. Several times I have drank a coffee and spent the next twelve hours throwing up with terrible headaches....
Yeah that's about right from what I remember. I gave my samples about a year ago when I was still living in NYC. I'm surprised a preprint hasn't...
There are these two studies that I have recently found....
They state that: "Considering all these results together, it can be stated that there are widespread metabolic changes in many brain regions...
That is a good point. For me episodes of PEM have always been on the shorter side, but there are certainly those where PEM lasts longer then...
Jarred Younger presented some preliminary unpublished lactate data during the ME/CFS Research Roadmap series. It seemed to have a similar...
I'm curious where the issue with this logic is: Any theory of ME/CFS should explain why PEM from cognitive exertion occurs. At the most basic...
Separate names with a comma.
