You know, @ Philipp, what is really hard for me to understand, too, seems to be the fact we cannot do anything legally. I just can't believe it. I just can't believe you can't do anything concerning this: You are absolutely right. In general, in law, not-knowing doesn't save you from being...

You can determine the hormones that the pituitary gland produces: growth hormone (somatotropin), TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH, prolactin.

I don't know so much about this. Do you have any information about how I can check on my MRI scan about this for myself? I will never find someone to do that for me.

That's a good point, @Jonathan Edwards, thank you

@MsUnderstood, that sounds very interesting and informative, thank you!

But in this case, there were no major differences between CFS, FM and CFS+FM (which reproduces the previous finding), and the differences between CFS/FM and the healthy controls seem to be comparable (i.e. coharent with the previous study). Right? Would this be an indicator that the different...

This is just awesome! I feel privileged to make this experience, to listen to Mr Montoya. Thank you, @Andy and @Ron, and many thanks to Mr. Montoya for answering our questions and for giving hope. I so much wish I could somehow get 25Mio. dollars :)

Thank you, @Jonathan Edwards! Why is it a problem to use data at different points of time (they used data from a previous study and added new data and compared that again) if they are normalized/standardized? That was my impression, too. Good to have that confirmed.

What does that mean, elevated lactate levels in the brain (e.g. consequences, causes...)? How does that show on brain scans? Why is MRI spectroscopy such a good method? And how does this fit into other findings, like that by Fluge and Mella (-> pyruvate dehydrogenase)? How should it be used as a...

I, too, have the impression the anti-psychiatry movement had its peak in the 70s and 80s. Although there still are organisations who are involved. But it's not easy for them, I'd say, because most people don't understand what psychiatry is. And they don't care. Most people think only those who...

What is the Tavistock Institute?

I found this questionnaire weird when I saw it the first time. (It is used in Berlin amongst others.) And this question, if you have problems with starting things, puzzled me exceedingly. I left it open. I discussed it with the doctor, and she explained it is not meant as lack of motivation...

Welcome to the dungeon. What a horror show

There's no problem for NICE to use Oxford criteria instead and keep CBT/GET.

That's a good point, @TigerLilea. But shipment tracking says it's stuck. So it seems the kit hasn't arrived at uBiome.

Stories like you posted, @Arnie Pye, make me very angry. I wouldn't go on speaking with such doctors. It's unbelievable what happens out there. I get the feeling this BPS/MUS problem won't be overcome by being nice and sensible. I made the same observations as @unicorn7. Two major problems...

Just great @Wonko! :)

I would be very interested in how it went.

Just my experience in my family: First ME, and then one issue after the other appeared.
