Going back to the title of this thread. I feel LC should have their own code until we have diagnostic biomarkers for PEM.

They are used interchangeably by M.E doctors, including Dr. Anil Jain, one of the authors of the 2003 Canadian Consensus Criteria for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis who diagnosed me in 1992. My dx is CFS too but I haven't had to deal with this label personally for decades.

Abstract Chemicals in food are widely used leading to significant human exposure. Allura Red AC (AR) is a highly common synthetic colorant; however, little is known about its impact on colitis. Here, we show chronic exposure of AR at a dose found in commonly consumed dietary products exacerbates...

Moved post Céline Dion has been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare autoimmune and neurological disorder. People on twitter are having a field day with this serious disorder b/c of the name, just like they do/did with CFS.

Sensitive detection of biomarkers can reveal pre-symptomatic diseases. Using induced pluripotent stem cells for drug repurposing and testing pre-symptomatic diseases, are two ways a Japanese pharmaceutical company is innovating. New drugs typically take 10 to 15 years to develop, and cost of...

"I just wasn't able to come back from that. I never felt like I had lots of energy on the bike. I went to the Vuelta to build through the race but all the way through I felt flat, flat, flat." Yes yes yes. This is exactly how I felt after exercise during the PVFS stage- no PEM, just felt...
