CDC, NIH and NINDS presentations didn't tell us anything new.

Presentation on FMT trial showed that, at 12 months, there were significance positive reported effects on GI issues but not fatigue levels.

Tronstad's presentation talked about how they are investigating the bank of samples built up by Fluge and Mella's team. Using radioactivity to track the various fuels used in energy production.

Please note, I was up very early and so all of these updates may not be accurate and/or are my own interpretation.

Hi Andy! Thanks for posting.

Are you using the S4ME Twitter account, with the conference hashtag? Might help attract more people to S4ME if you do. (No pressure! No pressure!)

Nope, sorry, don't do Twitter.

Two people from the German Association for ME/CFS will be there (Sebastian and Laura), the third one had an ME crash and couldn't go.

Quite a few slides like this one, telling us when speakers are beginning, but I'm hoping for things that add to what we already know from the programme.

I wonder if I'm missing a lot of stuff that isn't using the conference hashtag?

Looks as though Emma Joy will do some catch-up tweets using #IIMEC13 hashtag..
