More reason to say that those findings are of little meaning. Are pwme some kind of superhumans who can't have some depressive symptoms if they have an illness that destroys their lives? Nancy Klimas: "So you have biologic consequences to pain, and you have biologic consequences to low energy...

"highlighted a study that showed that 14-15 year old girls were depressed much more than boys, while there was no sex difference at age 11-12, likely due to pressure to conform to gender roles as they enter adolescence" Hmm... isn't it similar to what with see with CFS? Meaning that hormone...

I think thay any biomarker would be a huge step forward, because it would at least legitimize the disease in the eyes of regular GPs. What are your thoughts on nanoneedle? The current theme in psycho-neurology seems to be psychological=biological/integration of mental and physical, bla bla, so...

Ranitidine is also the strongest acetylcholinesterase inhibitor(cholinergic) among H2 blockers, maybe that could be responsible for its effect. Some people seem to have moderate success with Mestinon (pyridostigmine) which is primarily an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. There is of course a mast...

What about 2-day CPET? Seems like it's very solid evidence, but I think there were some replication problems? Post exercise gene expression differences also seems like pretty solid evidence.

"Wessely, who qualified at Oxford and trained at the Maudsley Hospital in London, where he is still a consultant, knew he wanted to go into psychiatry early on. But he remembers countless times when colleagues spoke with derision about the specialty and suggested that he was too good a doctor to...

Agreed. I read Jason's interview and seen the study and I don't agree with him on many points. If PEM was defined and understood correctly, there pretty much wouldn't be a need for anything else, except common symptoms like exhaustion, muscle weakness, etc.. I actually checked out the...

Wouldn't it be true to say that if we embraced Ramsay-ME only, that there wouldn't even be millions missing ? Some folks even saying thay post EBV CFS is not ME.. On the other hand, I understand that SEID is problematic, because it will inevitably select some patients with underlying...

Do you mean that people with Ramsay ME don't experience fatigue, only post exertional?

We all drink milk, don't we? I can't say for sure, but I think there's some evidence that pasteurization doesn't kill MAP effectively, so basically it would come down to the immune system of the individual.

EDIT: Oops, maybe I posted it in the wrong section? Sorry, please move it if so. Moved to the public forum - Health News and Research Unrelated to ME/CFS Perhaps some of you have heard of the hypothesis that Crohn's disease is caused by Mycobaterium Avium Paratuberculosis(MAP). The idea of MAP...

I agree. Initially I thought our problems with medical profession had a lot to do with lack of philosophical reasoning. I don't believe that anymore. Henrik Vogt (Phd in History and Philosophy of medicine..) helped me change my mind.

Does anybody know if recordings will be available?

Just FYI. Tim Noakes is a complete joke. He pushes his beloved ketogenic diet everywhere he goes without enough evidence. He got a lot of heat for this tweet: http://carbsanity.blogspot.lt/2015/05/the-babygate-files-tim-noakes-just.html...

What do all of you think about the idea of shifting the focus more to broader issues like e.g. framing unexplained symptoms as psychiatric, instead of just ME? I see that some folks from UK are so inundated in the PACE issues that they seem to loose the bigger picture. Almost like the PACE and...

God bless America.

I'm sure there are hundreds of doctors who don't have any understanding of the issues with psychiatric diagnoses, and this gives them a free pass to go ahead and diagnose somatoform disorder 'if they think' that it is somatoform disorder, which nobody even knows what it actually is.
