    Suggest a name for Chris Ponting's ME GWAS project!

    Found this old thread looking for something else. Finding the name suggestions of DecodeME and SequenceME which are now actual projects gave a little bit of a smile.

    Reaction time deficits in a 3D virtual reality test in patients with ME/CFS, 2025, Ladek et al

    When bad or in PEM I often have coordination or accuracy problems, just become clumsy, and I think others say similar, I guess this could be a response time thing?

    Does anyone else get a runny nose, sneezing, coughing etc during PEM?

    My brain went straight to UTI and I got very confused

    Does anyone else get a runny nose, sneezing, coughing etc during PEM?

    Sometimes. Runny nose, sometimes eyes, definite airway iffiness. Maybe more allergy like than ill like? Like I think you imply, there are different PEMs. Some more me are much more dry mouth/nose/etc. Or maybe different phases, balances of symptoms or severities or something. But yes, what you...

    Clinical trial examines whether Ambroxol can slow dementia in people with Parkinson's

    But also from the same paragraph in the paper I see what you mean though @Utsikt the wording may be a bit weird and almost feels contradictory in places. They seem to have confirmed it’s safe and well tolerated, but be more vague on the second part of it is a disease modifying treatment. Seems...

    United Kingdom: Action for ME's PRIME project - research infrastructure

    That’s the big question for me. Quite a few of us covered the barriers in this thread

    United Kingdom: Action for ME's PRIME project - research infrastructure

    Looks very positive. I wonder if there’s a way for S4ME to get involved?

    Noise cancelling headphones! Oh Joy! (and other ways to block sound)

    Well the return went smoothly, printed out a label, someone dropped them off for me at at a courier pickup at a nearby shop, refund in full a few days later. So worth buying direct from Bose as @JemPD says.

    Preprint Indistinguishable mitochondrial phenotypes after exposure of healthy myoblasts to myalgic encephalomyelitis or control serum, 2025, Ryback et al

    Thanks for all the great insight @DMissa and @chillier we’re lucky to have you all and this knowledge on this forum. And great question to prompt it @wigglethemouse Maybe one day some of us will recover enough to if not make great scientists then great lab technicians.

    Update from the Windsor Castle Research Event (Action For ME)

    I wondered about that too. PrecisionLife seem particularly focused on that aspect already, but beyond that? Even if they don’t already have ideas about treatments it seems sensible to start talking about the pipelines. Given I’m struggling at the moment after a good spell I’m keener than ever...

    Update from the Windsor Castle Research Event (Action For ME)

    I looked for the Action for ME thread before posting this but couldn’t find it, and have now just seen it. Sorry, total brain fade! Please feel free to move his post as I can’t seem to delete it.

    Update from the Windsor Castle Research Event (Action For ME)

    From AfME’s website: The full summary is worth a read to understand the purpose and who was there. Looks like a useful bit of bringing people together and networking.

    Closed UK: DecodeME updates, was recruitment thread.

    After looking through the plan in more detail I wasn’t sure if we’d see all the steps outlined in section 6 (including things like PheWAS) or get the initial base GWAS results first then followups with the extra detail. It looks like there’s potentially a lot of different and interesting pieces...

    Closed UK: DecodeME updates, was recruitment thread.

    Maybe there are mutliple groups I’m not sure. But fingenn is specifically mentioned and they seem to have generic data already, but I don’t know about this bit of the analysis. It could even be concurrent.

    Closed UK: DecodeME updates, was recruitment thread.

    I’ve been re-listening to some older presentations on DecodeME and going through the analysis plan in more detail and trying to learn more about the processes involved to prepare my brain for whatever comes. Here’s a few thoughts, hey maybe interesting to others and maybe people with more...

    Trial Report Awe reduces depressive symptoms and improves well-being in a randomized-controlled clinical trial, 2025, Lopez et al

    On the one hand I do agree that experiencing awe and wonder has an impact on how we feel about things. I do agree that they are an important part of the human experience. And saying that is fine. Nice things are nice. The world is full of wonder. On the other hand I’m not sure what that’s got...
