Too bad the future never becomes the present.

Well this certainly makes me feel a bit worried. Been taking them for 18 months now, they are the only thing helping me since my illness got severe. Guess it can always get more severe. FML

The snake oil salesman at it again.

Exactly my thoughts, what happened with this :(

So, can anyone explain to me why this isn't used as a potential biomarker, or even in the pipeline as one? Am I missing something as usual?

I have been diagnosed with MCAS in addition to my ME because of high prostaglandine values but have felt nothing but worse on any of the various MCAS medication regimes. Going only from personal experience, I think they are jumping the gun and seeing it in everyone because it can so easily be...

Hi Melanie, I am currently on IVIG and am being considered for Ritux after that. Is there any reason you are so adamant about RTX not being helpful to a subset of CFS patients?

Fair enough :)

Is it illegal to say Phoenix Rising? Why are we Lord-Voldemorting?

Let's have us some Ritux hints, shall we?

And let's hope she does pursue a PhD in the field :)

Still seems to show what we'd expect. Higher levels of excitatory transmitters that contribute to a "wired but tired" state. Is it really that bad? I almost feel encouraged that they got these results even from a badly defined patient cohort. Am I completely off here?
