    Cognitive behavioural therapy for adults with dissociative seizures (CODES): a ... multicentre, randomised controlled trial (2020) Goldstein, Chalder

    Even though the Perez article is a commentary (on Goldstein et al.) and not a peer-reviewed article, one would hope that Lancet editors would not want this "In my opinion" stuff in their journal(s).

    OMF to launch clinical trials on Mestinon & Kynurenine, post-COVID19 study

    Hopefully they’ll post it here. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ I want to know if this (kyn) is orally administered or via IV. If oral, maybe it won’t pass the blood brain barrier? If via IV, will it automatically pass the BBB? If it works, but folks will need daily IV infusions (or injections)...

    Intravenous Cyclophosphamide in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. An Open-Label Phase II Study - 2020 - Rekeland, Mella, Fluge et al

    OK, about the alleles. 10 patients had HLA-DQB1*03:03 4 patients had HLA-C*07:04 12 patients had either DQB1 and/or C Which means that 2 patients were positive for both DQB1 and C. And therefore only 2 patients were positive HLA-C only (i.e. positive for HLA-C but negative for DQB1) Right...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    They are talking about fatigue/exhaustion as symptoms, no? Not as a name for a disease. If they claim to have exhaustion and fatigue, I believe them.

    Dr Ron Davis - Updates on ME/CFS research - September 2019 onwards

    I thought there were 4 candidates, glatiramer (Copaxone), SS31, suramin and SS19. I have not heard about any wide-spread allergic reactions to Copaxone other than from Rachel. But of the folks I have heard of who have tried glatiramer, it has been unsuccessful for treating MECFS. I'm...

    Thanks. IDO2 mutation data from Ron Davis/Robert Phair group--"all 77 patients tested have a mutation in the IDO2 gene, this is "unusual"." I believe this a report of new data.

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5466478/ @Jonathan Edwards Given that people with MECFS apparently have mutations in IDO2--do you think using IDO2-specific mAb will work for MECFS as it apparently does for RA? Did this pan out for RA?
