    No “easy home runs”: Early Long COVID trials of Paxlovid and monoclonal antibodies failed, but the treatments still have potential Sick Times (AER002)

    Agreed.

    The impact of acute COVID-19 symptoms on insomnia: A longitudinal study among medical students, 2025, Zhu et al.

    Institutionalised exercise induced deterioration for long covid suffering med students. What a mad world we live in.

    No worries, I believe so. I found these two links from a quick google. I think there is more info on S4ME but I am brain fogged right now! https://www.omf.ngo/pediatrics-me-cfs-deep-omics-profiling-and-longitudinal-study/ https://www.omf.ngo/omf-scientist-receives-grant-in-australia/ Edit...

    Open UK BACME tube feeding survey 2025, closes 30th September 2025

    This is very needed but I trust BACME about as far as I can throw them.

    This makes intuitive sense to me but that is probably meaningless. Two thoughts and you've probably already had both of them but just in case you havent: Chris Armstrong's team are/were doing a study that involved sampling people in active PEM with home visits iirc, so he might be a good...

    Type 1 interferons again!

    [EV] proteomics uncovers energy metabolism, complement system, and [ER] stress response dysregulation postexercise in males with [ME/CFS], 2025,Glass+

    Does anyone know if Hanson's group are replicating this paper in a larger cohort? it seems really interesting and I would really like to know if it stands up. Especially after PRDX6, which is higher 15 mins after exercise here, popped up in DecodeME.

    That's interesting. I don't know very much about the biology of exercise but I think I follow just about! Does anyone know if Hanson's group are replicating that paper in a larger cohort?

    Very interesting! How would we test the hypothesis that type I interferons are involved in ME/CFS?

    News from the USA, United States of America

    I feel like this paragraph definitely puts the dampener on things: Lots of people who have had covid have some kind of persistent markers of infection in their blood and no long covid samples. So it stands to reason these post exercise markers could be a similar phenomenon. Also they gave...

    Well now I want to read his sci-fi novel!

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

    Exactly! I get really frustrated when people talk about this like it's a binary thing.

    Criticisms of DecodeME in the media - and responses to the criticisms

    What an absolutely empty headed statement. Time for me to hit ignore thread before steam starts coming out of my ears! I wish he had the courage to say this to to the media when asked for comment instead of the usual weasel worded bollocks. But then they might be openly challenged on their...

    BioVie Awarded up to $13.1 Million in Funding from U.S. Department of Defense to Evaluate Bezisterim (NE3107) for the Treatment of Long COVID

    That is worrying to me as a lot of people recover naturally in the first two years.

    BioVie Awarded up to $13.1 Million in Funding from U.S. Department of Defense to Evaluate Bezisterim (NE3107) for the Treatment of Long COVID

    That's good to hear, will be good to get a prompt answer.

    BioVie Awarded up to $13.1 Million in Funding from U.S. Department of Defense to Evaluate Bezisterim (NE3107) for the Treatment of Long COVID

    This is concerning. Does anyone know if they are tracking PEM as a secondary outcome like the Ely Baricitinib trial is?

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

    That's an interesting thought. Conversely, there seems to be a lot of overlap between ME and Fibro. Maybe the people who have this chronic pain gene /have large amounts of pain with their ME symptoms - have fibro+ME.

    After DecodeME - next steps for the ME/CFS community?

    A question - what experiments do these data and the Zhang study, Fluge and Mella's recent paper etc suggest might be worthwhile that could run in parallel with SequenceME? Be it lab work or theraputic experiments or biopsies or autopsy studies. Anything that would be worthwhile that doesn't need...

    Could this be a possible explanation for or clue as to the horrendous gut issues in more severe ME/CFS
