    Since ME breathing rate significantly slower than normal/used to. Further evidence of metabolic dysfunction?

    Pre morning coffee - so this may be totally tangential - apologies in advance. As body senses CO2 and not oxygen, perhaps it is more of a CO2 / O2 balance issue? Would switch to anaerobic metabolism impact?

    Since ME breathing rate significantly slower than normal/used to. Further evidence of metabolic dysfunction?

    In a normal person, someone with a simple condition, yes. But i think , give this condition affects all systems, feedback loops may be " wired" differently to maintain function.

    Machine Learning-assisted Research on ME/CFS

    Thinking from the metabolic trap idea that other genes in the same function group may not compensate for mutations in others as has previously been assumed- what common genes linked to liver function might this apply to - high incidence, low penetration and substrate limiting? Would these...

    Caroline Struthers' correspondence and blog on the Cochrane Review: 'Exercise therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome, 2017 and 2019, Larun et al.

    Given the nuances with language deployed by PACE team, and their carefulness to be economic with the truth but not lie, I could believe they didn' t see their data prior to changing outcomes.

    Knowing other mums who have been threatened with / through such processes, thank you @Tilly for all you do. Linking to another topic re male/ female differences in advocacy this is a strange area in that FII seems to be targeted at females . Must be those hysterical tendencies, but perhaps...

    ME Association Website Survey: What are the most important things a GP needs to know about M.E.? | 08 January 2019

    It took nearly 12 months for my aunt to get a home visit. The GP told her that there was nothing she could do and had to be pushed to agree to blood testing . Even with a practice copy of purple book, no sleep/ pain meds offered, no symptom discussion to screen for comorbidities. If there is no...
