The only connection I can find between ME/CFS and spacetravel is shock and change in body fluids( only one sentence) Fluids are going up in space, down on earth, both seem to result in a lowered blood volume. That's why astronauts can get better in a few weeks after returning to earth...

Thanks for the reminders. Would have taken me months to find. "Where no one has gone before", fat chance, Gatchaman saw it first. Imagine arriving at Mars as an astronaut with my brain. They'd better figure it out before they go out there. And in doing so helping all of us too!

How does a low blood volume influence lab results? This question has been bothering me for over 15 years. I asked the Clinical Chemists, they gave me the example of a glass and a pitcher of lemonade. In both you find syrup and water in the same quantities. Yeah. But I spilled an unknown...

They did chuck them into space:) and tested them and the astronauts.

I need the better, medical, minds to come over and see all @SNT Gatchaman has posted about astronauts. Comparing astronauts to ME/CFS/LC. There's so much similarity. It's almost shocking!! I'll name a few. altered glucose and lipid metabolism slow to fast muscle changes impaired T cell and...

Never had OI symptoms before ME. The worst in my case brainfog. I went from a final year uni student to not being able to read a book, immedialtely.

I respecfully disagree. Normally I just accept what you post, because of your vast knowledge and experience; now I disagree. I don't faint and have no problem getting upright. Only when I have been upside down in my garden, stretched legs because of a busted knee; on coming up again the light...

Van Campen, Visser (2020) found 90% of ME/CFS patients had hypoperfusion during the tilt table test with doppler, not the healthy controls. The NIH found no difference between groups but had POTS patients in the HC group. They compared patients with patients :banghead:

Great finds! 2002, 2004 and 2008 and still a long way to go. Not only in exercise, I think, but who am I? OI (also with normal BP like me) leads to less oxygen in the brain leads to brainfog. With a questionmark. Not enough oxygen in the brain can lead to inflammation even without viruses?

For years and years FND was conversion and now they can educate the patients out of it? Just 21% of patients (35 out of 166) did all 3 surveys, that says it all.

But the people Esther Crawley has influenced are all still out there.

Paying 25 dollars for something that would probably make me angry, no thanks.

I don't have POTS, never had POTS, I already had a ME/CFS diagnose. I asked my GP for a referral anyway. Those docs just know more about ME/CFS than the rest of the country's docs together.

90% of the patients would have OI, but you only get to 90% if you do a tilt table test with Doppler. (And if you don't put POTS sufferers in the control group as the NIH did) Don't worry too much about referral bias in van Campen/Visser. It's the patients that do the referring by means of a...

Welcome and great to have you joining us as a researcher. The Norwegians should be aware of, at least the possibility that the Saline IV could be seen as "treatment" in ME/CFS, I e-mailed that question to them. Placebo group feeling better too, because of the Saline IV? I'm really surprised...

So sad. 35 years of medical education without any doctor with knowledge about ME/CFS. Even kindness, compassion and belief have yet to be taught.

Can hypervertilation, more Co2, in exercise help to remove lactate?
