I thought the sex specific omics differences were interesting. Some of the omics data didn't appear to differentiate ME/CFS from HC until they did the analysis by sex, then within each sex there were clear differences between ME/CFS and HC. I think those omics were from blood (cells/plasma?)...

Now we are being criticised for picking apart and criticising the research. We're being told to 'hold hands together'. Lots of praise for Walitt.

Due to start now, I think. NIH videocast

Glancing through that table, the thing that stands out to me is that the intervention group started with much higher step count (7300 versus 5100) and lower fatigue than the control group. The intervention group cut their step count by 600 in the first 4 week and kept it at that lower level...

I clicked on the video on this thread, then the YouTube logo at the bottom to get it to take me to YouTube, then on 'more' under the video where it gives a summary. At the bottom of the summary it says Transcript, and I clicked on Show Transcript in blue. That took me to a line by line version...

:laugh: A risky thing to do on a science forum!

Sajid Javid is standing down as an MP at the election. I suspect he initiated the debate to try to force his party to get on and complete the implementation plan he set up that was supposed to be completed in 2022, or at least to get it recorded in Hansard that he had tried, and that his party...

That one bothered me too.

I just clicked on the link on YouTube. It's pretty hard to read.

The main things of interest for me: The government delivery plan is unlinkely to be published before the general election. They are expecting to publish a summary of the submissions to the consultation soon, then start work on finalising the plan which looks likely not to be completed before...

A reminder that this today.

I've glanced at some of the transcript. It looks like he's gone full-on attack on post viral stuff and the NICE guideline. Nasty. Not sure I can bear to watch it.

I'm none the wiser. Can you explain, since you seem to be saying you know what your inflammation temperature is in numerical terms. How do you measure it?

I can't tell from that whether they are recommending LP or arguing against it's use in Norway. Any idea?

They are all sales pitches by Parker, there's no real evidence in them. Edit: Threads on them: Understanding the Lightning Process Approach to CFS/ME; a Review of the Disease Process and the Approach A Systematic Review of The Evidence Base for the Lightning Process - 2020 - by Phil Parker et...

I have been seeing a few comments on social media from people using the Visible app that it's telling them they need to slow down some days because they are overdoing exertion, and the pwME saying it's really helping them with pacing. I have no idea whether its algorithm is actually picking up...

The 2021 guideline is a big improvement because it says don't do GET with fixed increments, and don't do CBT based on false illness beliefs. And because it talks about staying within your limits imposed by symptoms and trying to avoid PEM. If it stopped there, that would be great. But the...

A fantastic fundraiser, Mike. Well done and thank you.
