This seems to suggest that ~20% of the RECOVER cohort had PEM but did not meet ME/CFS criteria. And that ~11% of the cohort have ME/CFS owing to COVID-19, yet don't have long covid...?

I don't understand how this paper has defined long covid. "Our inclusion criteria are as follows: (1) human study population with confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, antibody test, or a clinical diagnosis; (2) index date of first test/diagnosis, date of...

Abstract Importance Updated knowledge regarding the global prevalence of long COVID (or post-COVID-19 condition), its subtypes, risk factors, and variations across different follow-up durations and geographical regions is necessary for informed public health recommendations and healthcare...

Article about a woman with ME/CFS and diagnosed CCI and tethered cord. https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/32671565/mum-skull-spine-daughter-nursery-glandular-fever/

The first few sentences of this paper put me right off, as does the tweet about 'groundbreaking work' from one of the authors. These are supposed to be ME/CFS experts. Do they really think you only get PEM after being on a treadmill, or is it the case that the authors write poorly....? Who knows!

Abstract Chronic muscle fatigue is a condition characterized by debilitating muscle weakness and pain. Based on our recent finding to study the potential effect of mTOR on ATG13 inactivation in chronic muscle fatigue, we report that biweekly oral administration with MHY1485, a potent inducer of...

The GP leaflet links to a 'PESE booklet', which is available here: https://www.shu.ac.uk/advanced-wellbeing-research-centre/projects/an-information-booklet-to-help-manage-chronic-fatigue-brought-on-by-covid-19. It's just a booklet on general chronic fatigue, and doesn't even mention ME, CFS...

Jeannette Burmeister has written a new thread after receiving a response to her complaint:

I was thinking about this just the other day. It seems the ME/CFS community is the only place where this is discussed and challenged. That's not good enough. Why is the rest of medicine/clinical science silent?

Could it have been the antibiotics (assuming these were administered concurrently) or even steroids, which it seems were given at that time? These improvements in ME/CFS after antibiotics seem to be documented quite frequently in the patient community.

The patient in this study is the first author. I'm not sure that it is good practice to do this without mentioning the fact.

He has been discussed at length on the forum. He's a one-man paper mill, and I wouldn't trust that anything he writes is of value.

Yeah, the submission took a while for me. And they don't give confirmation, except the green message. Hopefully they add it after Christmas.

She could at least tag Phil Parker as the creator of this brainwashing experiment.

Garner has just posted this video about the trial.

I think this is just a copy of a Reuters article from a month ago: https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/many-long-covid-patients-adjust-slim-recovery-odds-world-moves-2024-11-14/

I suffer with noctural bruxism, and have done for at least six years. I have written about it here on other threads. There is no cure. There are certain things you can do to help lessen the issue. Minimizing stress is probably up there, because often this is related to stress. You should also...

Does anyone have access to this?

Does anyone know anything about getting this funded — a proposal in the works, for example?

Yes, I looked up the author and she is a PhD student. Her co-authors — some of whom will likely be her PhD supervisors — should be making sure the paper is not littered with trivial, and more important, mistakes. They should have raised concerns with the journal that Reviewer 1 wasn't doing...
