    United Kingdom: ME Association news

    What would this mean/entail? I think it was suggested the other day we need a new charity. If reforming AfME like JE has suggested isn't the way to go, then I think that person was right. It would be an unthinkable amount of work but a charity connected to S4ME that funded research that...

    A distinct monocyte transcriptional state links systemic immune dysregulation to pulmonary impairment in long COVID, 2026, Kumar et al

    Thats fair. It took me a good while of scanning just to find participant numbers because its in the results! Surely that should be front and centre?

    Mirror: Tory minister demands comedian Ricky Gervais apologises for branding ME sufferers 'lazy' in offensive joke

    My first proper girlfriend in sixth form loved Ricky Gervais and I got dragged to two of his films. Not something I missed when we split up! He's had a few good standup shows, and extras and the office are good, but by and large he's a smug unfunny bully who hides behind an 'I'm just kidding'...

    Upadacitinib (rinvoq)--could it reduce fatigue in ME/CFS?

    I couldn't say. In terms of benefit, I think the evidence for this JAK drug is a small case study (search the drug name on here to find it). I dont know anything about the other drug. These are serious drugs and only you can make the decision to participate. It depends on your personal...

    A distinct monocyte transcriptional state links systemic immune dysregulation to pulmonary impairment in long COVID, 2026, Kumar et al

    This looks potentially really interesting, will be interested to see full study.

    Rosetta Stone Study: £1.1m awarded to investigate links between ME/CFS and Long Covid

    Damn! Well, it was a nice thought while it lasted. Could you possibly expand on why?

    Problems arising for pwME from additional diagnoses of MCAS, hEDS and POTS. Advocacy discussion.

    That's a good point. Perhaps Ponting and Co could start some kind of outreach/ask around for one? Same with Altmanns team etc.

    Germany's "National Decade Against Post-Infectious Diseases"

    That's a fair point. But people on here will probably be able to figure out if tbe result is real.

    Germany's "National Decade Against Post-Infectious Diseases"

    From reading in the other thread it seems like she wants to do cd20 as well as cd19 and cd38 maybe? I mean at least we'll get some really concrete answers on that and put the rituximab debate to bed at last if they do that.

    Germany's "National Decade Against Post-Infectious Diseases"

    I'm not very optimistic for this trial in particular but this is very good news because the isatuximab trial was supposed to be a platform trial with a drug of this class so hopefully that will now go ahead as planned too! It looks like uplinza it works on cd19 not cd20 like rituximab...

    I thought she already has pharma funding for isatuximab?

    Rosetta Stone Study: £1.1m awarded to investigate links between ME/CFS and Long Covid

    If it can be replicated, would that be enough evidence for a T cell drug trial?

    As in the main pediatric team were complaining on bluesky beause they wanted psychatric services, or the project paediatric people wanted them?

    Agreed, I think this is an unnecessarily strict constraint.

    Germany's "National Decade Against Post-Infectious Diseases"

    I don't know about this. Something like daratumumab working out could give a huge boost to the basic science. But that is already happening. I think there are a few things like T cell depletion that we are very close to being at the point where a therapeutic experiment is justified. At the same...
