A fascinating interpretation of the article from medical doctor Henrik Vogt who has just founded a "patient organisation" together with an LP-coach of people who has made recoveries by "their own efforts". He got a like from prof. Sharpe. Edit to add: The other like comes from a professor in...

Sending you a hug, @Webdog :hug:

Agree. But it is debated on twitter with the journalist. Hope he digs further.

Jen Brea has also recently addressed activism and anger. Here is her conclusion and an answer from Michael VanElzakker.

The Norwegian ME Association has interviewed neurologist and paediatrician professor Kristian Sommerfelt about cognitive challenges for children and adolescents with ME. He works at the children's ward at Haukeland university hospital in Bergen, Norway. He has long experience with children and...

A short article also in Stirling Times. Researchers may have come up with a test for chronic fatigue syndrome

There is a discussion of the article on Reddit as well Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Aussie scientists' breakthrough

I am so happy to hear this, @Helen So great that the articles in SVD get much attention. My impression is that things are really moving forward in Sweden. Finally! And you don't have obstacles as LP-coaches claiming to have the cure or an established biopsychosocial "expertise" on ME.

Not quite sure what he means with "3Ps" though..

Dr. Keith Geraghty on Twitter:

In Norway I've seen the argumentation that IF LP has been harmful to anyone, it proves LP has side effects, thus meaning it has effect, which surely must be a good thing :confused:

That made me laugh out loud! Deserved a cat added.

For some strange reason the whole article is available for me, but it doesn't seem to be so for others? I'd very much like to share the text with you, but that would probably be violating copyright rules, wouldn't it? Anyway, it is not an in depth article. It says 240 000 Australians suffer...

I feel the same. Have gotten a bit cautious over the years, but of course always glad to see research taking place.

The article says: The Griffith University scientists are instead looking at the blood pressure medicine calcium channel blocker nifedipine (brand name Adalat). While it blocks calcium getting to the heart it works in the opposite way in cells stimulating calcium receptors says Dr Staines. They...

Australian scientists prove Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is real and have discovered a test for it - The Gold Coast team has proven that patients with ME have lower levels of calcium coming into their cells, that their cells store less calcium and this is the basis of their illness. - Work is...

Thank you @Andy Yes, that was the link i meant.

Medscape links to a study on cell-metabolism in their text on CFS, but only members have access to what it is linked to. I tried to register, but didn't get through. Someone here who is a member and can say which study is referred to?
