    Article: “I was ready to give up on my life with ME ... but Perrin treatment miraculously changed everything”

    While there may be something in that, it doesn't tie in with my own experience. I was heading downhill fast and would have been in danger of...

    Petition: Approve the use of IV saline for treatment in PoTS and M.E for NHS Scotland patients

    Very true and it doesn't even have to be saline. I have an odd problem where I become intensely fatigued and then seem to vasodilate quite...

    Article: “I was ready to give up on my life with ME ... but Perrin treatment miraculously changed everything”

    Yes, it's normal to feel worse for a few days after treatment. It felt very much like PEM to me with the increased heart rate to go with it. Why...

    Petition: Approve the use of IV saline for treatment in PoTS and M.E for NHS Scotland patients

    Petition: Approve the use of IV saline for treatment in PoTS and M.E for NHS Scotland patients

    Health is a devolved power, so under the control of the Scottish government. Therefore, the Scottish NHS is autonomous. There is nothing to stop...

    A randomised controlled trial of the monoaminergic stabiliser (-)-OSU6162 in treatment of ME/CFS (2017) Nilsson et al.

    This is just a personal perspective but I don't associate depression with fatigue, although it's a little difficult to tell since I already had ME...

    Why depression is not a useful or reasonable phenotype for research in clinical psychology, psychiatry, or medicine

    Who among us hasn't had a similar experience? Can't be too many. There was a time I would have agreed with you. Now I'm less certain. A few...

    Why depression is not a useful or reasonable phenotype for research in clinical psychology, psychiatry, or medicine

    Thanks for starting the thread, Woolie. It's worse than I thought. So depression may be an even bigger wastebasket diagnosis than ME/CFS. In...

    News from Scandinavia

    When you put it like that, I'm so much closer to agreeing with you but it is central and important for a proportion.
