    Local NPR for the Cape, Coast & Islands - Thousands of Studies Begin to Paint New Picture of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

    I sent email to the author & cc:ed the producer (if you click on the byline you can find their email addresses) asking for a headline change. FYI, this article seems to be the same one that is on the WGBH website here...

    USA Centers for Disease Control (CDC) news (including ME/CFS Stakeholder Engagement and Communication Calls) - next call 4 Dec 2024

    Bumping this up since the call is next week. https://www.cdc.gov/me-cfs/programs/meetings.html PS. No, I'm not super organized, I just happened to read about the call when looking at the CDC website so I went looking for this thread! ;)

    Quantitative Electroencephalographic Assessment of ME/CFS. Support for a novel diagnostic protocol, 2019, Pellegrini. Student thesis.

    I know QEEG testing has been around for a while. But I don't know how well accepted it is by doctors. Is QEEG testing useful in a clinical setting for any other illness? I'm not talking about ME, but for any other illness -- brain injury, depression, whatever. Or is QEEG still a mostly...

    Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome Is Associated With Elevated G‐Protein Coupled Receptor Autoantibodies. Gunning et al 2019

    Thanks for posting. I'm hoping this discovery (and future studies) will eventually be helpful for the subset of ME/cfs patients who have POTS, NMH or some other sort of Orthostatic Intolerance.

    USA:NANDSC Working Group for ME/CFS Research report, September 2019

    I forgot to mention one thing. From the last slide of the presentation: * Dr. Roberds will participate in the next NIH ME/CFS Advocacy call on October 17th to further discuss this report I generally don't participate in any of these live calls or presentations (just too hard for me to...

    Some screen shots from the video (not the whole thing). I think these are in order. (crosses fingers)

    USA:NANDSC Working Group for ME/CFS Research report, September 2019

    I have a few comments after watching the video. The ME/CFS presentation starts at about minute 56. The talk ends at about 1:24, followed by a question/answer period until about 1:41. The intro slides (see screen shots in the next post) seemed pretty good. The only objection I had about the...

    USA:NANDSC Working Group for ME/CFS Research report, September 2019

    The link to the recorded video is the same as the live videocast link that was listed in a post made by @Tom Kindlon above. But I thought I'd repost it here - https://videocast.nih.gov/summary.asp?Live=33390&bhcp=1 The ME/CFS part starts at about minute 56. I'm going to watch it now. I'm...

    Postcards to Doctors - new project from ME Action

    Yes, sorry for any confusion! I thought you already knew where to find the full instructions or I would have pointed out where they were. I know it was still on the CDC website as of May 12th this year. I checked because I used that exact phrase on a poster for our local May 12th Millions...

    US - Free Webinar: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) & the Pediatric Patient

    Is that the same Pendegrast? It shows T as the initial. I searched for Robert Pendegrast and found these links which match the location cited above (August, GA). Middle name Allison. https://www.augustahealth.org/find-a-doctor/find-a-doctor?id=293...

    Postcards to Doctors - new project from ME Action

    Here's a short good news / bad news update. The good news is that there was a huge response for this project! ME Action got requests for more than 3500 postcards. :thumbup: The bad news is that they have had to put the project on hold for a bit so they can catch up. But they're going to...

    US NIH: Responses to NANDS Request for Information: How to advance ME/CFS Research

    This is kind of rambling, so I don't know how helpful it is, but thought I'd add my two cents. Maybe it partly depends on how sick the patient is? When I was very sick, any exertion was unpleasant and the post-exertion symptoms were even worse. Now that I'm more moderate, if I have rested for...

    Canadian Federal Health Minister to make announcement regarding ME, August 22

    FYI, for folks who are deaf or hard of hearing there are no subtitles and no signed interpreters. Probably best to wait for a transcript.
