If the signalling is neural, no. If it is cytokine or hormonal maybe but maybe not. We have learnt that a lot of chemical signals act quite...
But to me faulty signalling makes much more sense than lack of ATP. Lack of ATP should last for a minute or two, maybe twenty minutes after a...
Seems to be a different person.
The puzzle is that nowhere is there a policy that people should be denied nutritional support because of a lack of belief in a physical inability...
The paper and abstract on gastric emptying are not very impressive. The paper seemed to have no controls. I think it is hard to know how relevant...
What bothers me most is the framing of this in terms of an antagonism. I would like to see publications that include parenteral feeding experts,...
Yes, I remember reading this set of case reports before, now. It is quite helpful in some respects but it also highlights the lack of any...
Of course I should have searched PubMed various ways - there is one paper on this. Not surprisingly by Helen Baxter, Willy Weir and Nigel Speight...
There are some tricky questions involved. My guess is that maybe 20,000 people are diagnosed with ME/CFS in the UK each year. We hear of someone...
We hear of PWME who have been unable to eat and some who are no longer with us. Many members will readily recall five names, including a much...
I have had a thought about what S4ME might be able to do about all this, but I will post that next. In my experience people with weight loss from...
I just don't see PWME as having the sort of problem I have been used to seeing in people with heart failure or other organ system failure where...
TPN is an option but the reality of this problem is something even I know little about. I don't think journalists should touch this sort of story...
Moderation note: A series of posts have been moved from United Kingdom: Cases of people with ME/CFS with severe feeding problems, in the media....
Hi @Debwaldy, Sorry this is complicated, as you point out. Nuclear autoantigens showing an 'ANA' include DNA (not a protein) and nucleoproteins....
Yes @JemPD, you have laid it out clearly. Things aren't easy but maybe it helps to tease things out sometimes. We need more documentation just of...
Yes, I don't think we have reason to think ME is a risk factor for severe infection. And tes an adverse reaction to Paxlovid. I don't think we...
To be fair, I know of no evidence for PWME being more at risk with Covid. Categories like 'immune' or 'neurological' are too vague to be relevant....
Maybe, together with the MAIT T cell error, we are seeing machine with a remarkable capacity to veridically simulate the ill-informed...
This is interesting in that it shows that the bot is still not quite able to avoid generating contradictory arguments. It is supposed to be the...
Separate names with a comma.
