    Dysregulated NK-cell gene expression defines the enduring symptoms of long COVID-19, 2026, Ray et al

    Okay so what do we think, does this live up to the hype of these twitter posts?

    Prevalence of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity in Canada Between 2000 and 2020, 2026, Robins et al

    Same including strong food smells or smoke. But since my decline to severe (or possibly my first covid infection) I have become allergic to my old beard oil in like a throat closing up and wheezing a bit when I put it on kind of way. Which is kind of different imo to the way I react to strong...

    Trial Report Plasma cell targeting with the anti-CD38 antibody daratumumab in ME/CFS -a clinical pilot study, 2025, Fluge et al

    I haven't seen any kind of a timeframe for the ixatuximab study, afaik there isnt a protocol or anything anywhere yet. It would be good if it finished before or at the same time as dara, esp if both were positive. It would provide an added degree of confidence for off label prescription and...

    Has anyone had an EMG while in PEM?

    Sorry to hear about your experience! Neurologists seem particularly disposed to treating pwME badly for some reason...

    Norway: 2026 Guidelines for chronic fatigue and ME/CFS - draft published

    State sanctioned deterioration and death in the guise of 'confidence building'

    Published poetry books by people with ME/CFS

    The UK LRB (not sure if affiliated) is very pro BPS so this framing isn't shocking, but what is shocking is Lockwood herself accepting it and using it as well. Is she a literary Garner? I don't know much about her story. It is disappointing that this is what passes for literary representation...

    UK: All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on ME news, 2020 onward

    In Germany there was also a football team whose fans showed pro MECFS advocacy messages during games. Something like this would boost visibility and public awareness.

    Has anyone had an EMG while in PEM?

    I was supposed to have an EMG three years ago but never got it. Partly due to the prospect of travelling half an hour to be repeatedly shocked so that the data could be sent to a neurologist who looked at me like something nasty in a petri dish and clearly thought I was insane. Every time I...

    UK: All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on ME news, 2020 onward

    I wonder if there is an equivalent of Germanys campaign with the empty beds outside government buildings...maybe just stealing that? Or a campaign highlighting the behaviour of the psychobehavioural school, the illogical arguments they use and the harms they have caused. I think we need a...

    Developing a platform protocol for clinical trials evaluating interventions that target proposed mechanisms of [LC]: RECOVER-VITAL, 2026, Zimmerman+

    It's been five f-king years since RECOVER was announced! Five years. And they are giving themselves a congratulatory pat on the back for their trial design having achieved absolutely sweet f-a. They have squandered a billion and a half dollars on treatments that were almost certain to fail and...

    Charting the circulating proteome in ME/CFS using cross-system profiling to uncover mechanistic insights, 2026, Hoel, Fluge, Mella+

    'No not that one, maybe try over there' *gestures indecipherably towards a different part of the shore*

    Charting the circulating proteome in ME/CFS using cross-system profiling to uncover mechanistic insights, 2026, Hoel, Fluge, Mella+

    Whereas I am standing on the cliff up above yelling 'maybe look over there! Or over there!' to nobody in particular whilst gesticulating wildly at various stretches of beach.

    Spontaneous, persistent, T cell–dependent IFN-γ release in patients who progress to Long Covid, 2024, Krishna et al

    Fair enough - do you mean like information to offer in return that they might find interesting? Do you think it might be more timely now?

    Spontaneous, persistent, T cell–dependent IFN-γ release in patients who progress to Long Covid, 2024, Krishna et al

    Did you end up contacting these researchers @Jonathan Edwards?

    Large-scale investigation confirms TRPM3 ion channel dysfunction in ME/CFS, 2025, Marshall-Gradisnik et al

    As far as I know, Wirth has no findings, only theories, because he has done no research himself. I know the work of this group has been called into question a few times though.

    Professor Michael Sharpe

    A two for one on BPS stalwarts on S4ME today! Sharpe and Chalder, my least favourite double act since Horne and Corden.

    Healthcare worker fatigue during COVID-19, SARS, and MERS: a meta-analysis 2026 Chalder et al

    TC throwing healthcare workers during pandemics under the same bus she happily threw us all under. I will never forget the video of her laughing and telling a physio whose patient reported being in bed for weeks after GET 'that must be a really health anxious patient'. I suppose these are just...
