You can fool some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people with ME/CFS all of the time - in fact hardly ever. Walitt seems to be...
It would be interesting to know if there is in fact any association with height or span. (Marfanoid of course does not particularly imply...
My reservation about looking at metabolism in circulating immune cells is that circulating cells are more or less by definition doing nothing...
The difference is to some extent semantic but mutation implies a variation from a standard form of the gene. There are no standard forms for MHC...
Something I learnt as a rheumatologist is that 'not-quite Marfan's' or what is often called Marfanoid has nothing whatever to do with Marfan's...

There is a lot wrong with the medical profession but not this. The reason there is nothing to treat ME/CFS with is that there are no clues as to...
The implication is that there is useful care that the NHS is not providing. There isn't. But I think it is an important point that the NHS is...
Separate names with a comma.
