    Donating and fundraising by people with ME/CFS - discussion thread

    My guess is lots of fundraising depends on the participation of a significant number of people with the condition, or who have had it or think they might get it. People directly impacted will naturally have much more motivation to find cures than the general public. I think it's possible the...

    Burden of Infections in Early Life and Risk of Infections and Systemic Antibiotics Use in Childhood, Brustad et al, 2025

    Maybe this is standard researcher speak for "associated with", but to the general public I think this could easily be misconstrued as causal. I didn't thoroughly read the paper, but I didn't see any evidence that infections in early life cause problems later in life. Seems likely they're just...

    What high-quality resources should S4ME produce for PwME, clinicians, researchers etc.?

    Don't know if this has been mentioned, but I'm wondering if there could be a document outlining the most promising research avenues that have significant barriers delaying them or preventing them from happening. Mainly thinking about the financial barrier to SequenceME, but also other research...

    How can we improve the quality of ME/CFS research and clinical care?

    Maybe a compromise between waiting for some professional looking section to be added to the site, and just using threads as places to post resources, would be just setting up a Wordpress site. It could be set up pretty quickly and wouldn't require any technological upgrades to the S4ME server...

    How can we improve the quality of ME/CFS research and clinical care?

    Sure, all of the typical "wiki" stuff can be removed without splitting it between an "in-house" and final software. Screenshot of another page of one of the wikis I linked above: They removed everything except the date the page was last modified at the bottom, and for people that are really...

    How can we improve the quality of ME/CFS research and clinical care?

    I guess it's not so important it's a wiki specifically. They excel when anyone is allowed to edit, though MediaWiki does still work well as a more basic content management system because it's very well made while still being free. There might be simpler solutions that make more sense if only a...

    How can we improve the quality of ME/CFS research and clinical care?

    Here are some examples of sites with skins applied to MediaWiki (link text is names of skins): Medik Metrolook These look more like standard web sites than wikis which might be better: Tweeki Chameleon Honorable mention: Mask --- I think VaultWiki would be good, but I just noticed it's...

    How can we improve the quality of ME/CFS research and clinical care?

    Agreed, doesn't look great, but from what I can tell, the styling is customizable (colors, fonts, images). The advantage is users don't have to make new accounts, the posting method is familiar, and wiki pages can be easily quoted on the forums like regular posts. Maybe someone who knows...

    How can we improve the quality of ME/CFS research and clinical care?

    One suggestion that might make an information section of the website easier to create is using MediaWiki software (same as Wikipedia and MEpedia). Editing rights can be given only to specific people, so it's not a free-for-all like traditional wikis. Or most of the main pages can be protected...

    Increased Rates of Infectious Diseases in Fibromyalgia Patients: A Population-Based Case-Control Study, 2024, Vinker-Shuster et al

    I think they controlled for age, so it should be cancer deaths compared to a same age reference population.

    Artificial intelligence in medicine and science

    I was also going to say this. And also, now that the predictions have "come true", maybe present the data in a format that includes all the details. How many total were predicted, the details of your system that found it, and the details of the studies that confirmed it, instead of a simple...

    Should we change our name: 'ME/CFS Skeptic'?
