Low stamina was the main thing that tipped me off that something major had changed after a stomach bug that triggered my CFS ~ 20y ago. Sure I had...
Didn't know that. That seems like quite an important finding then that is not talked about. If they deemed it not worth the sides then the effect...
I do find some of the autoimmunity theories out there quite compelling, especially the one by prof. Scheibenbogen. However, something that needs...
Yes the researchers need to be commended for doing this study. They could have easily skipped the control group and gotten a positive result (due...
In the video presentation Phair mentioned that according to the hypothesis the brain uses it's own neurotransmitters for energy (since some of...
I haven't noticed much benefit from high protein diets and I haven't heard of many others benefiting. It is still an interesting theory though,...
If Sarin is indeed the cause of GWI, then I guess we need to figure out how Sarin exposure leads to a permanent CFS-like state. I'm guessing it is...
When it comes to CPET tests I think we should not focus on the drop in performance that much, but more on the failure to increase performance. It...
Yes it is logical that it should be higher. But I just a read study that said that half of the participants had normal lactate at rest. I think...
Well that goes back to my original question. Maybe indeed they just mask it, but maybe they affect one or more things that are wrong with us in a...
Yes, indeed being in such a state could trigger PEM if one is not careful, that's for sure. What I am interested in however, is how stress...
I have noticed that adrenaline or some other stress hormone (possibly cortisol) dramatically improves my fatigue and many symptoms temporarily. To...
No wonder, when I got sick, the most objective sign that something was wrong was my sudden reduction in cardiovascular endurance. Literally...
Could anti-histamines also be helpful in a subset of people with ME/CFS? Any anecdotal reports? I am pretty sure that I have an intolerance to...
By the way, I've read that regular exercise increases NO levels. If their theory is correct, does that mean that mild / moderate exercise could be...
For me it's the same. Mental exertion doesn't just trigger fatigue, but other completely unrelated symptoms, like muscle pain that you mentioned...
Some things we know about ME/CFS support his hypothesis. Namely how you could get PEM from cognitive exertion alone implies that something is...
Mg Oxide is very poorly absorbed, I remember reading one study where Mg Citrate's effect on blood Mg levels was several times higher than Mg...
Didn't another thread mention something being wrong with nitric oxide (NO)? I'm still trying to figure out if magnesium helps me. I'm not certain...
Maybe it is possible. I don't think there has been much or any research on how cells react to low level hypoxia or reduced micro-circulation. It...
