Great blog. Will share to a couple support groups and friends.

Just reporting a small error in link formatting:
“the tragic death of Maeve Boothby O’Neill”

Great job, that's a very interesting and useful overview of the year!

That's a really nice review.

The Concept of ME/CFS paper link goes to the Management of Nutritional Failure paper.

Excellent write up!

One suggestion is adding the oxaloacetate trial, since I think news on that has been eagerly anticipated by many in the community.

And sorry if this is insignificant, but one letter didn't get italicized in the MAGENTA trial section:

Nice!

I thought the one paper on blood-brain-barrier disruption in LC could also be worth a shout with the authors having mentioned interest in ME/CFS.

Thank you, @ME/CFS Skeptic. That's a really good article giving a clear overview of key research this year.

Thanks @ME/CFS Skeptic I find it hard to keep up with the research and your balanced summaries are an excellent resource.

Although it hasn’t started yet, and may not happen, I wondered if you might mention SequenceME, the announcement of which was one of the more positive developments in 2024.

I also wondered if you might consider adding links to the S4ME threads of each of the studies you summarise.

Thank you for explaining all this. I don't always pay close attention to ME/CFS, especially the big picture, so I appreciate your article.
