    Researchers propose deep trawl of DNA to help uncover the causes of ME/CFS (Simon McG blog)

    How many other bio banks/ DNA sampling data is there worldwide? A coordinated, standardised format may be able to glean existing data . Both omf and klimas have requested and received genetic data. Could some who have forwarded this previously be interviewed ( Skype?) / complete a...

    Do ME symptoms fit with the faulty energy metabolism hypothesis?

    Re the Karl Morten ATP profiles test replication ( which showed no significant difference on fresh blood) - has anyone looked into why there is such a big difference between controls and pwme after 24 hours ( would that not give a clue as to something awry?)

    What's behind ME allergies and sensitivities to foods, odors and chemicals?

    Th2 shift has also been suggested for extended fight or flight mode . In anticipation of an oncoming battle your body anticipates wounds and bacteria . In mice it seems this prolonged response triggers epigeneric changes ( now a new normal) some of which are heritable. I looked at this years...

    Evolving evidence about diet and health, 2018, Mente et al, Lancet

    Healthy weights may be a bit of a misnomer. The rise of the TOFI ( thin outside fat inside) whilst some overweight individuals are metabolically healthy suggests a complexity that does not lend itself to broad generalisations. The type of adipose tissue and its role in signalling seems to be a...

    Congressman Jack Bergman becomes Champion for ME

    I have emailed also - Dear Congressman Bergen I’m writing to thank you for your support for those with ME/CFS. As you will know this is a worldwide issue, and the US has taken a lead in its recent assessment of GET as being an ineffective treatment option for ME/CFS. Whilst we are not in the...

    Inclusive Education for Students with Chronic Illness—Technological Challenges and Opportunities - Anna Wood June 2019

    Thanks @Sly Saint Nisai and Interhigh have been providing virtual real time with recorded lessons ( amongst other providers for over a decade). Many parents who can fund it use it and it is a gamechanger. Some LAs will find Nisai in England , Wales and NI. The IT is not an issue, the...

    Michael Sharpe: Mind, Medicine and Morals: A Tale of Two Illnesses (2019) BMJ blog - and published responses

    Is it normal practice to publish a " taster" and invite comments prior to publication of the full piece? It just seems weird.

    Heart Rate Variability and ME/CFS

    Interesting. We have done 2 hair tests, around 6 months apart to track electrolyte/ cation status The second test showed improvement in electrolyte ratios , but a high level of mercury ( not high previously) and increase in aluminium levels. My assumption was that improvement in methylation...

    Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) issues ?

    Over the past 3-4 weeks my daughter seems to have developed a SNS stuck in overdrive. It is not sustainable, making things worse. I have a call with GP this morning, but am not sure what can be used to support/ address things. If anyone has been in a similar position and has any pointers , i'...

    Researcher Interactions Patient Representative Reports from Dr Karl Morten's collaborative group, Oxford, UK

    This is total mince . ( Scottish term akin to being utter rubbish) ETA the funding being turned down, not the research. I think this just evidences @Jonathan Edwards comments re MRC.

    Status of CFS/ME (2019) Brinth et al Danish Medical Journal (Ugeskriftet.dk)

    Subsets would only be relevent if they could be identified pre exercise. It never ceases to amaze me that If the starting point is to " first do no harm" , if you cannot identify who will be harmed, how is any " treatment" ethical. This is not a bit of extra muscle ache!
