    Preprint A case of post-COVID-19 [ME/CFS] characterized by post-exertional malaise and low serum acylcarnitine level , 2022, Jinushi et al

    Yes, I realised that! This is more common than it should be. I've seen it dozens of times.

    Preprint A case of post-COVID-19 [ME/CFS] characterized by post-exertional malaise and low serum acylcarnitine level , 2022, Jinushi et al

    I'm afraid much of the research in this area from Japan and China is not worth the paper it's written on. It's strange because in some areas — such as solid-state physics — they excel. "16. Kuratsune H, Yamaguti K, Watanabe Y, et al. Acylcarnitine and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. in: Carnitine...

    Guardian article: A catalogue of losses: what chronic fatigue took away from my life - by Mike Mariani

    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.

    Guardian article: A catalogue of losses: what chronic fatigue took away from my life - by Mike Mariani

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

    Blood clot drug totally ineffective as post-Covid treatment, research finds. Results from UK-wide trials on anticoagulant Apixaban

    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.

    Blood clot drug totally ineffective as post-Covid treatment, research finds. Results from UK-wide trials on anticoagulant Apixaban

    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).

    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    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.

    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    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...

    OMF: Muscle Biopsy and Plasma Study into Post-Exertional Malaise, David Systrom, 2022

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

    OMF: Muscle Biopsy and Plasma Study into Post-Exertional Malaise, David Systrom, 2022

    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...

    OMF: Muscle Biopsy and Plasma Study into Post-Exertional Malaise, David Systrom, 2022

    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...

    OMF: Muscle Biopsy and Plasma Study into Post-Exertional Malaise, David Systrom, 2022

    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...

    Any good science on problems taking Vitamin B12?

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