‘Long flu’: study finds flu patients at higher risk of longer-term illness "People who have been hospitalised with flu are at an increased risk of longer-term health problems, similar to those with long Covid, data suggests. While the symptoms associated with such “long flu” appear to be more...

Of possible interest is this study, Circulating levels of GDF15 in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, 2019, Melvin, Lacerda, Nacul et al

Extreme morning sickness? Scientists finally pinpoint a possible cause "Researchers have pinpointed a hormone released by growing fetuses that might cause a debilitating form of morning sickness. Women who are more sensitive to the hormone, which increases during early pregnancy, might be at...

Merged thread Abstract GDF15, a hormone acting on the brainstem, has been implicated in the nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) including its most severe form, Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), but a full mechanistic understanding is lacking [1-4]. Here we report that fetal production of GDF15...

Neurons responsible for poor sleep and stress found in mice "Researchers have now identified a group of neurons in the brains of mice that are involved in regulating blips of wakefulness, called microarousals. The finding1 could help to explain how stress disrupts sleep, says Ketema Paul, a...

Highlights POA glutamatergic neurons become activated during microarousals in NREM sleep Stress activates POA glutamatergic neurons, leading to fragmented sleep Inhibiting POA glutamatergic neurons attenuates stress-induced sleep fragmentation Presynaptic inputs in the lateral hypothalamus...

This group of bizarre gut microbes is unexpectedly complex "Alongside the bacteria, fungi and other organisms living in our guts are single-celled, nucleus-bearing microorganisms called protists. A study in mice — whose protists are related to some found in humans — now shows how these...

Highlights Metabolic diversity in protists drives convergent Th1/Th17, but divergent Th2, immunity Protists’ preference for fiber or mucus shapes trans-kingdom competition with bacteria During fiber starvation, bacteria outcompete Tmu for the mucus niche Dietary fiber composition can modulate...

I use a service called Stork, https://www.storkapp.me/main.php, which finds me papers newly published that match certain keywords every day. I would be more than happy not to have to monitor what the FND folk are publishing but I believe that they present a real danger to our patient community...

"The themes of these sessions included: behavioral activation and gradually increasing activity, managing ‘boom-and-bust’ patterns, goal setting, strategies to overcome worry, managing anxiety, sleep hygiene and fatigue management, communication styles, volunteering, and relapse prevention...

Looks like possibly another for you @dave30th ? "Functional neurological disorder (FND) refers to genuinely experienced neurological symptoms that cause significant distress or disruption, without evidence of an underlying neurological, psychiatric or other medical explanation [1, 2]. FND has...

Abstract Objectives We report routinely collected outcome data from an 8-week outpatient rehabilitative therapy program. The aims of the intervention were to (1) reduce symptom severity and (2) improve functional mobility in adults with functional neurological disorder (FND). Methods The...

Yeah, with him involved my basic assumption is that this is more a talking shop than anything that actually gets stuff done.

The corresponding author, Katherine Swainston, also had the same role for this study, What psychological interventions are effective for the management of (PPS)? A systematic review and meta-analysis, 2022, Swainston et al She is listed as based at Faculty of Medical Sciences, Newcastle...

Full title: Psychological interventions to improve pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and quality of life in children and adults with hypermobility spectrum disorders and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: a systematic review Abstract Hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) affect individuals across...

I would assume, based on their previous work that "Minimum exercise makes you physically tired" is meant to be asking about PEM.

Who are we? In 2017, a number of organisations and individuals from across the globe came together to form the International Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Network. We believe that through the International PPI Network we can join together and enhance the opportunities such a network would...

I would guess the value of this will depend on what use case they see for "a brief screening instrument". If it is intended to definitively identify ME/CFS then yes, that would be problematic; if it is intended as a list of questions to ask before a full investigation of symptoms then it might...
