Katrina Pears is actually a member here. I remember she posted a few things a while ago. However, I'm unable to tag her for some reason. I'm not sure if it is due to some technical difficulties or not. Anyway, here is her member profile in case someone else would like to tag her or maybe even...

Another article in the NL Times: Dutch doctors using questionable treatment on kids with chronic fatigue syndrome It's written in English: "Patient organizations PostCovidNL and LongCovidNederland told NOS that they can’t believe this treatment is still used on children with ME/CFS. Most Long...

Zheyi Wang, Zetai Bai & Yize Sun Abstract Background Accumulating evidence has hinted at a correlation between immune cells and post-viral fatigue syndrome (PVFS). However, it is still ambiguous whether these associations indicate a causal connection. Objective To elucidate the potential...

Yes, I've seen it, thanks. This is one of the studies the Academy funded. The idea behind some of these studies seems worth investigating, however, there are problems with sampling in almost all of these, as you have found in this case for example. Other Hungarian long covid studies recruit...

Several new papers have been posted on Qeios today but I haven't seen this one yet.

I have even seen a (probably now deleted) Reddit thread accusing her of taking donations and then not sharing with the public what she did to recover. That really rubbed me the wrong way, even though I understand how devastating living with this disease is.

Study suggested by @Utsikt

I'm not sure at this point we have a lot of legal ground or even willingness from potentially useful organizations to help. I mean some of you may know that recently the Hungarian ME/CFS consensus recommendation has completely misrepresented what the NICE guideline says (it said NICE still...

New Jake Hollis article in Psychology Today: Can Neuroscience Explain What Makes Fatigue Chronic? The science of predictive processing sheds new light on persistent fatigue. "Key points The new science of predictive processing is prompting researchers to understand fatigue in a new way...

I see the first two authors contributed equally to this paper, one of whom is Ádám Dénes. I've mentioned him several times here on the forum as he is one of the Hungarian long covid researchers most prominently featured in the media here. Unfortunately he never mentions ME/CFS or even just PEM...

In the very last paragraph you can read that Dr Ziaja was invited to speak at the ME/CFS conference in Berlin in May. In an earlier post in this thread I mentioned several concerning things about this group. And another odd one is that I couldn't find Dr Ziaja among the speakers at the...

I'd like to add some more info because Leitzke has been heavily promoting this nicotine patch treatment in social media and it really concerns me since there is literally zero evidence it works. The above study is based on one case study and a survey that claims 73% of respondents showed...

Saw this on the Facebook page of the Czech ME/CFS patient org. Facebook translation: ME Day 2025 exhibition is here! You can now find a special exhibition dedicated to myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) at the Westfield Chodov center. On the information panels...

If you read back just a little bit in this thread, you can find that I sent a rather harsh letter to the Ministry of Interior (Beáta Sebestyén specifically) and the Health Colleges who created the consensus statement. In that latter I told them they had misrepresented the NICE guideline and were...

I think we have another Slovak member here on the forum called @tuha, so I'm tagging him to alert him, he will probably find this interesting!
