There is a longer statement by the ME Association about the interview on their website:...
This looks great @Adam pwme ! Must have been lots of hard work. Just one minor remark. "Recovery was lowered to a level similar to patients with...
That might explain why I had the impression that what Shepherd was saying was mostly beside the point: about biomedical research, WHO classifying...

yes (but I did use the term suggesting...). It's certainly possible that this is only part of the mechanism of what is causing the problem. I...
Thanks. Yet I still don't see what the connection is between bistability and ME/CFS. The paper only says about this: "Some ME/CFS patients...
Tagging some smart people, in case they've missed this. I'm curious whether my excitement about this study is justified or not. @Jonathan...
This looks huge. If confirmed, perhaps this could be a major breakthrough. If I understand correctly, they focused on peptidoglycan (PG), an...
