Abstract Background The clinical course of COVID-19 includes multiple disease phases. Data describing post-hospital discharge outcomes may provide insight into disease course. Studies describing post-hospitalization outcomes of adults following COVID-19 infection are limited to electronic...

Their study aims to investigate circulating microRNA expression in ME/CFS patients before and after a stress challenge that stimulates PEM. The findings highlight the differential expression of eleven microRNAs associated with a physiological response to PEM. I've never experienced pain in 31...

Every FM friend that I've met irl do not experience PEM, and have no clue what I'm talking about when I describe my experience with PEM.

Germline mutations in cellular-energy associated genes have been shown to lead to various monogenic disorders. Notably, mitochondrial disorders often impact skeletal muscle, brain, liver, heart, and kidneys, which are the body’s top energy-consuming organs. However, energy-related dysfunctions...

I was automatically denied Federal disability benefits when I first applied in 1992. The judicator concluded that I was still capable of 'gainful employment", so I decided to call the Ministry of Health and spoke to the judicator who reviewed and denied my claim to ask how she came to her...

The SARS outbreak was almost 20 years ago, but at least they're interested in learning more. Perhaps even go back 70 years and find out that M.E wasn't a mid-century campfire story after all?

The lab tech hooked me up with electrodes and told me to sleep, but when I explained that I needed to take trazodone in order to fall asleep, she told me to 'try to sleep' w/o it. I told her I can not fall asleep at all w/o the meds. She left the room and I stayed awake until 2 a.m, so...

Imagine telling a cardiologist and pulmonologist that you're still suffering from a litany of symptoms, including exhaustion, shortness of breath, headaches, joint pain et and they both rule out other health problems and advise exercising, suggesting that some symptoms may have been a result...

Just watched the CBC (Canada) news this morning and PHAC (Public Health Agency of Canada) are studying how many Canadians have long-Covid. They've stated that there are over 100 symptoms, 'mostly fatigue, anxiety and PTSD". I can see where this is going.

Moved post NIH Launches Clinical Trial of Epstein-Barr-Virus Vaccine The study will enroll 40 healthy volunteer adults ages 18 to 29 years, half of whom have evidence of prior EBV infection and half of whom do not have evidence of prior EBV infection. Participants will be given a series of...

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1352458520941481 The problems of inaccurate terminology The much-identified impasse in defining daily onset MS-related tiredness appears—in the absence of an accurate label—to derive from the appropriation of the inaccurate nomenclature “fatigue.” In...

A couple of experiences with Meniston. Scroll down:

Yes, exactly what my dear friend endured from day one of illness and for the next 18 years. He told me he felt 'poisoned'.

Could PG be held accountable in some way from the harm he is promoting on social media? Just recently the Ontario's College of Physicians and Surgeons temporarily suspended a physician whose social media comments promoting misinformation during the pandemic landed him before a disciplinary...

He is literally promoting life changing harm with his beliefs.

And yet when you Google PEM all that comes up is ME/CFS.

Abstract The altered magnesium status in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients may have a significant clinical imprint considering its role in cell signaling and genomic stability, as well as its involvement in IBD patients’ fatigue. Our study pioneers the investigation of magnesium hair...

No, my ability to fall asleep had switched off overnight like someone had flipped a switch. I had been sleeping like a baby with uninterrupted sleep for years before that. After 3 days from not sleeping I felt like was going to have a seizure so my doctor rx'd me trazodone. I went to...

Resting can make some people feel fairly normal when they're recovering from PVF. That was my experience. I rested for 5 1/2 years and never experienced PEM. I made one mistake by working out on my stair master and couldn't walk for 6 months. I told myself that I better not exercise...
