moxibustion is just another practice based on the concept of "chi" or "vital energy", which has never been proven to exist. I think that, if the objetive is finding a treatment for people with ME, this research is an absolute waste of resources. Now, if the objetive is to make money selling...
these results truly don't reflect my experience, the last thing I'd say is that I found human doctors to show more empathy than the simulated empathy of large language models. I also don't think they reflect the experience shared by most ME/POTS/LYME/MCAS, etc sufferers shared on patient groups...
amazing how the modern approach to an emerging, new disease is trying, by all means possible, to prove it doesn't exist, or to hide its existence. When did the medical profession start acting like that? If I'm correct, historically, medical researchers tried to understand the mechanisms behind...
I have hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism, while being treated with 200mg of synthetic hormone. I uploaded my thyroid function test to GTP4o. My T4 and T3 levels are normal, but the TSH is near zero, at a value of 0,07uU/mL. It correctly identified that I was now hyperthyroidism due to...
The thing is, the people who write these articles and papers should specify that this applies to certain countries such as the USA or the UK, since ME is a disease that affects people from all over the world, including countries where "minorities" is an alien concept, such as mine, Argentina
by the way, the population of my country is as homogeneous as it can be, and we're all treated like garbage by doctors. There isn't even a notion of "different races" here, "race" is something that nobody cares about. Religion? everyone here is christian or atheist, again, nobody cares. Male of...
I'm tired of this narrative of only certain groups being affected by this. All patients are treated like garbage, we're all sub-human for doctors and other medical professionals. I won't allow anybody to tell me that I didn't suffer from decades-long medical abuse just because I'm a white male...
Since I developed ME at 13 years old, I have had increased sensitivity to touch in my whole skin, and sensations of burning and "pins and needles" mainly in my hands and feet, but also on other areas. Paradoxically, I also have a decrease of sensitivity to touch in my hands and feet. My ME...
this, this is the evidence that this was PROBABLY planned beforehand. I had detected the exact same similitude between that part of the paper and Walitt previous statements, they're identical. The results where PROBABLY written even before this study started. Something is very, very wrong with...
they should repeat the brain study in people with all sorts of chronic diseases in which "fatigue" is a major component in order to find if their brains respond in the same way to the hand grip test as their ME counterparts. I believe they'll respond in the exact same way, proving that anybody...
I get all of that and muscle pain on top, it feels like if my muscles are "full of acid". It would seem to me that PEM can differ from person to person, what do you think?
this is how my ME started, with Epipharyngitis. That place in my body still hurts to this day, but as expected, no doctor has ever cared about it. Maybe I should insist....
the article insist too much on that, I think that at this point, it shouldn't even be mentioned, we should move past discussions of ME being psychosomatic or not even existing. If somebody wants to learn about that, tehy can always read a history book, they don't need an article
