Interesting twitter thread highlighting mechanism . Seems to be relevant to POTS too. Given overlaps the mechanism is interesting - calcium channels , which have been discussed in ME/CFS research. For some cold exposure reverses effect ( thinking of "cold" treatment collaborative research by...

I wasn't sure what prefix to use given that the paper has been accepted in Cell but not published. I read about it in a paywalled news article as the abstract was presented at the ECTRIMS 2023. Ineffective Immune Control of Epstein-Barr Virus-Induced Autoreactive Responses is an Important Cause...

Post copied from the DecodeME thread: I agree the 85% response rate is fantastic - unheard of really. Decode ME is such a brilliant study. On a related note, I found the following UCSF and University of Cambridge study on MS, published yesterday, interesting: Scientists identify first genetic...

Abstract Introduction: Fatigue is the most common and disabling symptom in multiple sclerosis (MS), being reported by 55% to 78% of patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Etiology of MS-related fatigue remains poorly understood but an increased neuromuscular fatigability (i.e., greater loss of...

Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) and Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME)/chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) share the symptom of fatigue, and might even coexist together. Specifically focusing on genetics, pathophysiology, and neuroimaging data, we discuss an overview of the parallels, correlation, and...
