    The science of craniocervical instability and other spinal issues and their possible connection with ME/CFS - discussion thread

    Exactly, the "trifecta" relates to EDS, why does this have any relevance to ME? You have previously stated that EDS, CCI, Fibro, MCAS, ME have overlapping symptoms. Which ME symptoms are not covered by another diagnosis. I'm guessing the answer is PEM, which is very subjective and open to...

    First real cold since I got ME/CFS (6 years) and all symptoms temporarily disappeared

    It is quite a difficult question to answer succinctly. I do get colds less often. Although I am exposed to less viruses due to lack of contact with others, I have been in contact with family members with colds and not contracted it. I did have a marked improvement as in less ME symptoms...

    Hand grip strength as a clinical biomarker for ME/CFS, 2018, Nacul et al
