    Preprint Initial findings from the DecodeME genome-wide association study of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, 2025, DecodeMe Collaboration

    I'm just concerned that there's no other way to read the sentence when it uses "and" than that it's suggesting they are all involved: Maybe "or" instead?

    Preprint Initial findings from the DecodeME genome-wide association study of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, 2025, DecodeMe Collaboration

    Thanks for the blog! I think fine mapping refers to identifying the causal variant out of all the significant variants, not identifying the gene that the variant affects. I think that would be 'gene prioritization': - https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsob.190221 --- I don't...

    Use of stimulants for cfs

    Yes. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of examples off the top of my head. But for example, they don't really know how SSRIs work for depression (if they actually work at all and it's not placebo). Wikipedia Another example is general anesthesia:

    Use of stimulants for cfs

    You could just see that it works when patients take it for an unrelated reason. That appears to be the basis of all the B cell depletion drug trials in Norway. Cancer patients took chemo drugs and their ME/CFS got better. Wikipedia says the tree that contains a similar chemical to Aspirin was...

    @elimrogers Thank you for joining and offering to share your paper. Unfortunately, it's really hard for me to follow these types of historical/sociological topics, so I'm not sure how much I can personally understand or contribute. I'm sorry that comments on this forum have been hurtful. But...

    Lesbian AIDS: An Illness of One’s Own?, 2025, Rogers

    Can you clarify what is offensive? She can't write about ME/CFS because she doesn't have it? I can't follow what your criticism of the piece is.

    Randomized Trial of Ivabradine in Patients With Hyperadrenergic [POTS], 2021, Taub et al

    I always thought of it as some side effect or other circumstance occurring that makes participants more certain what group they're in, unrelated to the outcome of interest. For example, if a patient gets a characteristic rash that is only known to happen with the active drug, they're no longer...

    Long-lived plasma cell (LLPC) theory - Similarities between CFS and Lupus?

    If I understood it correctly, this study looked at absolute count of CD16+CD56+ cells at baseline in the blood, like the ME/CFS study, and found no correlation with response to daratumumab: Effects of daratumumab on natural killer cells and impact on clinical outcomes in relapsed or refractory...
