I'd like to add some more info because Leitzke has been heavily promoting this nicotine patch treatment in social media and it really concerns me since there is literally zero evidence it works. The above study is based on one case study and a survey that claims 73% of respondents showed...

Saw this on the Facebook page of the Czech ME/CFS patient org. Facebook translation: ME Day 2025 exhibition is here! You can now find a special exhibition dedicated to myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) at the Westfield Chodov center. On the information panels...

If you read back just a little bit in this thread, you can find that I sent a rather harsh letter to the Ministry of Interior (Beáta Sebestyén specifically) and the Health Colleges who created the consensus statement. In that latter I told them they had misrepresented the NICE guideline and were...

I think we have another Slovak member here on the forum called @tuha, so I'm tagging him to alert him, he will probably find this interesting!

There was a member in my group who was diagnosed with SFN by a specialist who teaches at a university. Then he went to another doctor as part of his quest to understand what is going on with him and he mentioned the SFN diagnosis. This other doctor shook his head in disbelief and said something...

No statistics in Hungary either. Hungary uses ICD codes for official diagnoses but even checking the data for medical records wouldn't work well as doctors don't even know the code for ME/CFS or that it even has a code. I think very few people walk around here with an actual diagnosis.

HCPLive: Aquatic Exercise Improves Physical, Psychosocial Outcomes in People With ME/CFS “Six months of self-paced, low-moderate aquatic exercise significantly improved fatigue, depression, walk distance, lower limb strength and peak expiratory flow. PEM was not worsened by the intervention...

This is such an interesting term. Not to be insensitive but I just couldn't resist asking AI what it thinks spiky-leaky syndrome must look like.

This has happened to me too. My GP was away for some reason and another GP stood in for him. I went there with some throat infection that kept recurring over several weeks. She prescribed me antibiotics. I went back later because my symptoms came back again afterwards and my GP told me this was...

Oops, you are right, sorry. I have edited my post. ME moment!

Not strictly long covid but I'm posting this because someone might find it interesting.

Abstract Aging and COVID- 19 are known to influence DNA methylation, potentially affecting the rate of aging and the risk of disease. The physiological functions of 54 volunteers—including maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂ max), grip strength, and vertical jump—were assessed just before the COVID- 19...

I'd like to share some info that made my spidey-sense tingle. This study is associated with the German Prof Stark Institute. Actually this is what made me look this topic up, as recently this place has started popping up in my group as groundbreaking ME/CFS experts. Some hype is growing around...

Study suggested by @Utsikt

Abstract A water-insoluble β-1,3-glucan (Wβ) with a molecular weight of 8.12 × 104 Da was extracted from an edible fungus Wolfiporia cocos. Its backbone was composed of 1,3-β-linked Glcp branched at the C-2, C-4, and C-6 positions, connecting more 1,3-β-linked Glcp with a triple helical...

The Canary: Poland doesn’t even recognise ME/CFS – leaving one man living with it with no way out from domestic abuse Throughout all this time, Karol has been unable to get a formal diagnosis for his severe ME/CFS, and has only started getting diagnoses for the majority of the other chronic...

Btw, the author of the original paper only included a short reply to Tényi's letter: Rough translation: Dear Professor, I read with great interest your valuable addition, which confirms the timeliness of the topic I have chosen. Respectfully, Noémi Somorjai I have actually skimmed through...
