me/cfs is a mito disorder ... in many but not all me/cfs patients and in in even more people with me/cfs with slow onset and EDS like features, pots and mcad ...

just wanted to put it out there and hope I will be still alive when it is proven ...

(existing mtdna studies for me/cfs are somewhat worthless for many reasons)

 

An interesting post Butter. Do we use mitochondria to think? I don't know.

You see, PEM is a result not only from physical-muscular movement ( exertion), but it can be generated from simply lying down and thinking out complex issues for say half an hour: for instance, legal arguments, or building a legal case, or doing any complex mental activity: mental exertion.

(On another topic which I don't know where to post: I have also lately been badly discouraged that Dr. Jonathan Edwards (@Jonathan Edwards) feels there is no lead in this monstrous disease. ) And I am certain Dr Edwards follows all the findings!

What are the severely ill expected to do? No one looks after them, no one helps them. This is all very 19th century.

 

ehhhhhhm, yes, you „use mitochondria to think“.

 

I should have looked it up before commenting, but my hands are very tied. I look after two gravely ill people. Had I searched I might not have earned: "ehhhhhhhm...."

So from what I have read this morning, they are even used to feel.

I dare say, there will be more to discover about our bodies. But for the very ill, all this is fine and dandy, but when will the chains come off.
