The cool thing with AI is you don't need to know the exact differences that are relevant. If you give it two photos (in reality two sets of hundreds or thousands of photos) and teach it that one is you pre-PEM or pre-"eyes glazed over" state and the other is after, it will figure out the...

Up to now, I haven't really come up with any good ways to accurately track my fatigue, anxiety, and general well-being. I've noticed that my face feels and probably looks a lot more sad, expressionless, or numb when I am fatigued or in a crash. I had an idea to train a machine learning model to...

I added a post on the MEpedia discussion forum, though I'm not sure how often that gets checked.

@JaimeS maybe consider installing a more mobile-friendly skin. This doesn't require changing the default, but it allows users to select a custom skin if they would like.

Yeah it'd be very cool if DecodeME gave us any clues like that!

That's interesting. As someone with pretty bad social anxiety, even before I developed clear ME/CFS, it felt like exertion to socialize, and would compound. Though I've always felt kind of like an "extrovert trapped by social anxiety". I have high motivation to be socializing, but the anxiety...

I think I'd agree with @poetsinf that it's probably a spectrum going all the way from severe PEM to healthy people having a "healthy" level of PEM. "damaging their body through overexertion" - whatever the reason, it looks similar, so it's possibly the same mechanism, just exaggerated. Maybe in...

Oh nice, I'll dig into those, thanks!

Environmental factor or comorbid conditions? I haven't read the paper you linked yet, but I don't know if I'd refer to another disease as an environmental factor. Does something in the environment cause gingivitis, and then gingivitis goes on to cause Alzheimer's? Among the risk factors listed...

Super interesting, thanks!

Does your new version show up when you go to the page? I see it in history, but the page itself is unchanged. I've tried Purge and using another browser.

Holy cow, that's a lot of drugs. There's no way, right? I feel like this has to be poor wording choice. Edit: I assume the "and" is supposed to be "or". And that the physician will decide which to prescribe.

Studies controlling for deconditioning or other confounders Got it started. Not super easy finding studies to add. The one I added so far compares two studies testing muscle acidosis after exercise - one in ME/CFS, one in primary biliary cirrhosis, a condition they say causes a similar level of...

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to add to MEpedia a page which is a repository of ME/CFS studies which had deconditioned controls. This would be a reference of data which has applied another level of due diligence that it truly applies to ME/CFS, and one could have more confidence that it's...

Yeah, that'd be great if that was reality. There's also the potential for subtypes that are permanently switched on though. I imagine it might be possible that something like a stroke permanently destroying a part of the brain could cause an ME/CFS-like illness.

That's interesting.

I think it might be the second because they say this - they expect people to experience PESE during the study.

I admittedly didn't do much digging to verify it, but this video posted by World ME Alliance a few days ago which says there are an estimated 55 million pwME: Though their own website says more like half that number.

What's the issue with SEID? Seems to fit better than the other two.

Yeah, I didn't read it carefully. It seems to have hallucinated the "placeholder" reason as that's not in the cited source.
