That doesn't surprise me. I think the processes are set up for certain types of samples. I seem to remember reading the gene expression work needed very fresh samples. I'm also concerned about the whole freezing process given the latest Newton paper which shows frozen and fresh samples...

I think since then there has been metabolics work done which is interesting and may be very important. But I feel we are still at the stage of research providing potential clues which need following up with bigger research projects rather than anything definitive.

Did that lead to a high dropout rate? If it does it makes the ITT figures difficult.

There are gaming laptops http://www.bestadvisers.uk/best-gaming-laptops?s=go The HP Omen one is the best buy in that review. Or I have an HP Z-book which is their mobile workstation product (as a laptop its quite heavy but the new ones look quite thin and light). But they are not as powerful...

I'm not sure what you want in terms of integration Our twitter account is https://twitter.com/s4me_info Tweets pasted into messages should show in the message.

We have a facebook page but I don't think we have planned a strategy yet. Also a twitter account https://twitter.com/s4me_info

I think this should be an exciting study because I believe that studies should be looking for changes over time in individual patients as this may provide more clues than lots of samples across a population. Its the kind of thing I think the metabolic studies should be doing. But it is a bit...

I noticed this on twitter (UK only) https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/203140

Montoya, Davis et al published their paper on cytokine signatures for ME in July. Cytokine signature associated with disease severity in chronic fatigue syndrome patientsPNAS 2017 114 (34) E7150-E7158; published ahead of print July 31, 2017, doi:10.1073/pnas.1710519114...

I find this one concerning. It would be reasonable to believe that the only reason GET isn't harmful in trials is because those who would be harmed are not compliant. But they may appear so as they keep therapists happy or substitute activity. What evidence there is, I believe, suggests no great...

One gadget that a hairdresser suggested for my daughter was a "betty drain" which can be used for washing someones hair in bed and can be helpful even for a sink if bending is an issue. Its basically a plastic bit that goes round the head and has a long drainy bit that goes into a bowl (or the...

I think a number of the depression questionnaires are not reliable when given to people with chronic illness because too many questions are ambiguous. HADS has been commonly used but it is a really bad scale. I suspect this one is a bit better I have real issues with it (or any questionnaire)...

I thought the ICO ruled them illegal and even prosecuted someone for having employment blacklists

I think I need to ask. What is a thunderclap - I've seen the term used a few times and always wondered.

Merged thread Naviaux talks on autism and Suramin This talk seems to relate to the talk that Naviaux gave at the OMF event where he talked about Suramin being used to suppress signals to cells. He was suggesting a similar mechanism for ME.

I think we have the IoM report to thank for that it has legitimized that view and provided supporting evidence hence which makes it harder for those like White who disagree to challenge.

There are huge issues with childhood adversary studies that look retrospectively at adversity. It is easy for people to link incidents when told to look back and find reasons for being ill

I do think she should be challenged on who because she is labeling people so she needs to be specific. Maybe there is a group of anti-science people who are attacking her but we've not seen that. What we see is patients and academics criticizing her methodology and asking for more information...
