Marcus Stanlberg, MD, PhD, Artur Fedorowski, MD, PhD Conclusion Although some limitations exist, the study constitutes an important contribution to our understanding of the role of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in the post-COVID condition. Patients were systematically evaluated and...

They do a nerve block at the base of the toe and will most likely use a topical freeze spray before they inject the toe.

I assisted in surgical procedures with surgical podiatrists and it doesn't hurt. They never warned the patient in advance that it would be painful, in fact it was quite the opposite. On one occasion the doctor told a patient that sticking a needle in the heel was the most painful...

My GP of 35 years retired last year. I have not met my new GP yet, my appointment was cancelled last month. It'll be interesting to know her opinion on CFS which is still listed as my dx. I most likely won't have to discuss it with her unless there is s drastic change in my health.

Going back to the title of this thread. I feel LC should have their own code until we have diagnostic biomarkers for PEM.

They are used interchangeably by M.E doctors, including Dr. Anil Jain, one of the authors of the 2003 Canadian Consensus Criteria for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis who diagnosed me in 1992. My dx is CFS too but I haven't had to deal with this label personally for decades.

Abstract Chemicals in food are widely used leading to significant human exposure. Allura Red AC (AR) is a highly common synthetic colorant; however, little is known about its impact on colitis. Here, we show chronic exposure of AR at a dose found in commonly consumed dietary products exacerbates...

I'm afraid that categorizing patients into 'mild, moderate and severe" groups is going to lead nowhere. We all suffer from PEM so where is he going with this search for so called biomarkers?

More than 2.7M paid to 50 claimants of serious injury connected to a vaccine in Canada. https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/more-than-2-7m-paid-to-50-claimants-of-serious-injury-connected-to-a-vaccine-in-canada-1.6205187

Hilarious. I just searched Monica Verduzco-Gutierrez M.D only to realize I blocked her a long time ago.:rofl:

Abstract Background SARS-CoV2 can induce a strong host immune response. Many studies have evaluated antibody response following SARS-CoV2 infections. This study investigated the immune response and T cell receptor diversity in people who had recovered from SARS-CoV2 infection (COVID-19)...

Moersch-Woltman syndrome, commonly referred to as Stiff person syndrome, is an autoimmune illness that sees the patient’s immune system cause a dysfunction of the interneurons found in the spinal cord, said Dr. Stéphan Botez, a neurologist at the CHUM. Botez said it can take a long time to...

Céline has been dealing with 'health issues' for a few years but didn't share her business with the public. So it possible that it took years to develop in order to get a proper diagnosis.

Moved post Céline Dion has been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare autoimmune and neurological disorder. People on twitter are having a field day with this serious disorder b/c of the name, just like they do/did with CFS.

Sensitive detection of biomarkers can reveal pre-symptomatic diseases. Using induced pluripotent stem cells for drug repurposing and testing pre-symptomatic diseases, are two ways a Japanese pharmaceutical company is innovating. New drugs typically take 10 to 15 years to develop, and cost of...

"I just wasn't able to come back from that. I never felt like I had lots of energy on the bike. I went to the Vuelta to build through the race but all the way through I felt flat, flat, flat." Yes yes yes. This is exactly how I felt after exercise during the PVFS stage- no PEM, just felt...

They need to mandate masks. It makes my blood boil when I see 'encourage' and 'strongly recommending" masks. This will not encourage masks, people who don't want to wear them won't. So now we are at great going lets do nothing while the Children Hospital of Eastern Ontario has called in...

I just received the 4th new Pfizer bivalent jab. They offered me a flu shot (again)l but I declined. So far so good.
