The address for corrections — which is the address I used — is: guardian.readers@theguardian.com I had to email twice because the person manning this email address misunderstood my issue with the article's title. But it was corrected after that.

I contacted the editor and the article title has been amended to include 'syndrome'.

I think you are misinterpreting. The headline, article, and paper are about one particular drug, not blood thinners / blood clotting in general, or other potential mechanisms, such as platelet activation.

As stated above, this has very little to do with long covid, so I don't think this damages the blood clotting hypothesis for LC (which I remain quite skeptical about).

Delayed onset muscle soreness — the healthy type you get after exercise.

I wonder what he is doing behind the scenes, in collaboration with people in Norway and The Netherlands in particular. I suspect he's trying to influence guidline updates and related exercises.

A 'conceptual model' of chronic fatigue. He really is down the rabbit hole, with his friends in the Netherlands and Norway. PS I advise people to screenshot Paul's posts to share here, just to document his nonsense. He's clearly not going anywhere, and I have a feeling he might even be ready to...

That's interesting. What is the disorder, if you don't mind my asking?

I don't think its the subcutaneous fat because the pain/soreness feels very muscular. I think I have issues with my fascia. Even before I got symptoms consistent with ME I always felt I had muscle issues — for example I have chronic problems with the IT band (essentially fascial/connective...

I actually meant I can 'feel' as in with my fingers. In specific locations, my muscles — especially the surface layers and fascia, just under the skin — are taught, lumpy, with small, localized areas of extreme sensitivity. I think there's objectively some sort of issue, at least in my case. I...

I can literally feel there is something deeply wrong with my muscles (and fascia). They feel like they've been ripped, and the tissue has tried to heal but failed. In a crash my muscles (not skin) can become so sensitive I can barely touch them. I am amazed nothing has ever shown in muscle...

Five months ill, Lightning Process, off on her bike rides!

A short thread on Paul's most recent Twitter share.

I agree. It takes a very skeptical line, and science moves on, but I think much of it is probably correct.

This article debunks a lot of the MTHFR/detox stuff. May or may not be useful in your case! https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/dubious-mthfr-genetic-mutation-testing/

No suprise that mitochondrial disease is involved. I think this will be a big theme going forward. Totally overlooked.

Devices usually measure this by default, and you can check it in settings. Or you can download third-party apps.

Someone once gave me a glucose / ketone monitor, but it was quite old and seemed like way too much faff to be worthwhile. The newer devices are much easier and might be worthwhile if you felt like diet and metabolism was an issue.

I don't measure anything, but I have in the past measured HR and HRV using a Polar chest strap and apps. In general, a chest strap gives more accurate readings than watches. There's a lot of material on the forum (and elsewhere online) about HRV — though I feel it is often overhyped. One thing...

Not diagnosed with this and therefore I can't offer much advice, but I would be interested to know what your symptoms are, and how it affects you, and how you distinguish it from overlapping ME symptoms?
