Yes, and it's probably not even conscious error. People's memories get adjusted by what they want to believe. Their guesses about how much they...
I strongly disagree. My physically-induced PEM seemed to be due to t-cell activation from muscle damage (consistent 24 hr delay). My PEM did not...
The records really need to be done immediately. Human memory is too fallible and subject to self-falsification or simple confusion. Maybe I...
That's why we're still waiting for clinical markers: none of our symptoms are clearly defined. We know what they feel like, but communicating...
It's easier than doing good research. Since the garbage-producers are unlikely to produce useful research even if they tried working hard at it,...
Me too! I must have ME! Oh right, I do. I just forgot. :rolleyes: PEM made me want to lie down, but doing so didn't affect my PEM.
If 23/30 mild cases didn't show the virus, then maybe it's not part of ME? My guess is that any immune system activation, from viral infections,...
Yes, since we don't know the field of view necessary to find ME's abnormalities, we might need studies at different scales. If a brain-wide scan...
I like that they're using more than healthy controls. Since I believe ME is neurological (or neuroimmunological), this is the kind of ME research...
Comparisons with healthy controls are likely to show the differences between 'sick and inactive' people and 'healthy active' people, rather than...
I was thinking more about this one. Are there any ME symptoms that absolutely 100% cannot be due to neurological dysfunction? Even muscle...
No, that's not necessary. Some of us, such as myself, had reliable PEM that gave reliable symptoms but didn't cause lengthy crashes. A 40 km...
Any system that offers benefits is going to have people trying to manipulate it for their advantage. The decision makers need to be aware of the...
The shape is all vague and wobbly, because it's likely a set of downstream symptoms that varies with genetics, epigenetics, and various other...
Their graphic is just vague speculation. How does that "start to paint a clearer picture"? Until they can find a clear difference in...
Nope, you'd be lacking the "unique mixture of negative oxygen ions in this environment". That's an excellent excuse for why this technique--which...
Which also means that changes occur in response to disease. Now they need to figure out which changes are causes, and which are effects.
Oh, which mechanisms are those? They list some symptoms, but not any cellular mechanisms. My guess is that they don't have a good grasp of ME,...
If Tide said that their new detergent was quantum-resonant-enhanced for greater whiteness, I'm sure they could make up some numbers to prove that...
Is the Mediterranean diet high-fibre? I never thought it qualified for that. AFAIK, it's the fibre that feeds/supports the bacteria that produce...
Separate names with a comma.
