    Donate to build on the work of DecodeME

    Does anyone have an opinion where the best place to donate currently is? Like through AfME or directly to Chris Ponting's lab? I understand the final pieces on finalising this study will be done by Chris and a small team on limited funding so maybe that is the best place to donate initally? Or...

    Genetics: BTN2A2 and BTN3A3

    As we discussed in the preprint thread, the fact this is downregulated and it inhibits CD8 T cells and IFNG might be relevant to JE et al's hypothesis and related theorising.

    USA: The RECOVER Initiative - Long Covid research

    Maybe i should reply on bluesky but LDN and Baricitinib are already being thoroughly trialed (although I guess LDN is being trialed in ME). GLP1 is an interesting idea I suppose, not sure what the rationale is. As for SGB, I am really skeptical, but I suppose it's better to have a trial than not...

    Criticisms of DecodeME in the media - and responses to the criticisms

    Statistically, I think it's likely some of them are.

    Preprint Initial findings from the DecodeME genome-wide association study of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, 2025, DecodeMe Collaboration

    Strep triggered me and my partner's illnesses too.

    Preprint Initial findings from the DecodeME genome-wide association study of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, 2025, DecodeMe Collaboration

    So if the gene inhibits the proliferation of CD4+CD8 t cells activated by IFNG does that provide evidence for or againsts JE et als hypothesis? Inhibition would suggest against to me but I know little about these things.

    News From Jarred Younger / Neuroinflammation, Pain, and Fatigue Laboratory at UAB, From Aug 2020

    Any statement by researchers which contributes to the phenomena of patients confidently stating unproven hypotheses as fact, further delegitmising them in the eyes of medics, is deeply irresponsible imo.

    I think the rest of the community would have had a thing or two to say about that...:joy:

    Teclistamab for ME/CFS

    Agreed. Hopefully if any theraputic experiments follow on from DecodeME they will include controls from the get go.

    New Swiss study probes lingering fatigue after Legionnaires' disease

    My definite (as opposed to possible prodromal) onset was after a dual strep and impetigo infection. Interestingly not the strain of strep that causes impetigo so two different infections. Point is bacterial infections definitely seem to be a trigger.

    Metabolic adaptation and fragility in healthy 3-D in vitro skeletal muscle tissues exposed to [CFS] and Long COVID-19 sera, 2025, Mughal+

    The question is have they created PEM in a dish or found the factor that causes ME/CFS exercise intolerance and muscle weakness/fatiguability? As opposed to delayed PEM.

    Review Causes of symptoms and symptom persistence in long COVID and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, 2025, Komaroff et al.

    Precicely i feel like they are talking about something that isnt neuroinflammation. These new drugs they are talking about are intriguing but I don't find it particularly compelling as a hypothesis.
