Long Covid has shed new light on ME (chronic fatigue syndrome), once disparagingly dismissed as 'yuppie flu' – Professor Eleanor Riley Opinion piece: Professor Riley gives a brief but very good summary of ME/CFS. For us, there's not much new information there but it's good to see such articles...

I saw this in a SolveME Facebook post: Study Alert: Our friends at...

Abstract Since its emergence in Wuhan, China, covid-19 has spread and had a profound effect on the lives and health of people around the globe. As of 4 July 2021, more than 183 million confirmed cases of covid-19 had been recorded worldwide, and 3.97 million deaths. Recent evidence has shown...

Sorry for hijacking the thread again but the antibody saga unfortunately continues! From the previous episodes: very low number of antibodies in a private lab result (blood test, antibodies against S spike protein). A similar test at Semmelweis University was clearly positive. I'm in the same...

Call for proposals of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences for the submission of high-risk applications for research on post-COVID phenomena 2021 The Hungarian Academy of Sciences is planning to spend 400 million forints (about 1.1 million euros) over two years on research on "post-covid...

Long COVID: A ‘mysterious’ syndrome with ‘no clear pattern’ of symptoms Quite a long article, with several doctors/researchers sharing their opinion on long covid. In addition, this is what Sandra A. Fryhofer, MD, chair-elect of the AMA (American Medical Association) board of trustees said...

Remember that recent study about LDN from the NCNED team? Looks like we have some groundbreaking research never done before ever week now. :p

"A wonderfully illustrated comic to explain Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Encephalopathy (M.E) also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) to other people." The video is 6 minutes long but easy to understand. Posted by ME Association. Full description on YouTube, below the video. I chuckled a...

This is a press release from a small Swiss pharmaceutical company. I'm sharing it because the newly appointed chief scientific officer said: "Our lead product candidate, Quilience®, is an exciting technology that we discovered has partial orexin-2 binding activity, and therefore, offers...

I'm not sure if this is due to me being mild or not, but I don't have any caffeine intolerance (alcohol intolerance is the only one I have due to ME/CFS) and I definitely use coffee all day to keep me running. It doesn't always work and even when it works, it doesn't resolve the problem, only...

New cases is Vienna: "Since Joe Biden took office, about two dozen U.S. intelligence officers, diplomats, and other government officials in Vienna have reported experiencing mysterious afflictions similar to the Havana Syndrome.", full article...

This is indeed very much like a cult.

My antibody results from Semmelweis University are back (antibody against S protein, with a different range of values this time): the minimum is 0.8 U/mL, mine is 94.13, so this is a good result finally. The university says their testing is probably more accurate than that of the private labs...

This is probably her (London, Manchester, fibromyalgia, rehabilitating long term health conditions, mindfulness, bowen etc): https://www.breathworks-mindfulness.org.uk/anjali-chatterjee Edit: Peter Valaitis was the director of a million companies, all for a very short time (often only for a...

Physicians depend on the measurability and empirical verifiability of symptoms. Still, some symptoms defy observation and measurement, which can cause patients with a wide variety of conditions—including chronic fatigue syndrome, endometriosis, fibromyalgia, many psychiatric illnesses, multiple...

Another chapter in the covid vaccine antibody test saga: Semmelweis University has also published the antibody results of those people who had previously tested negative somewhere else (after Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Sputnik, Sinopharm - so no Janssen this time). Their project was to retest...

Article about the results of the free antibody testing program in Budapest for people over the age of 60 (sparked by the Sinopharm controversy, but other vaccines - Pfizer, Moderna, Sputnik, AstraZeneca, Janssen were tested too). n=1760 It says: "Although the 1760 evaluable studies - in the...

@FMMM1 Thanks! I'm not really worried about the AZ vaccine and its effectiveness in general but rather about my own low antibody levels after the vaccine. There's an update actually: due to the controversy around the negative test results for some of the Sinopharm vaccines, it has been offered...
