There is: 1. The sex ratio of 3.9 is very high, though not as high as research samples. It's hard to think what else the code is being used for...
The estimate of 390,000 from the recent preprint (submitted for publication) by Gemma Samms and Chris Ponting probably gives us the best estimate,...
ME Assoc: How Many People in the UK have ME/CFS? The MEA is trying to come up with an updated prevalence figure for the UK and is looking for...
Sorry the blog went down for a while yesterday (not because it was overwhelemed, as far as I know). It's great to see this response to Charlie...
I'm glad it stuck! And being quoted on someone's fridge - years on - makes me very happy. Thank you.
Yes, some positive results would certainly help with funding. As you say, our evidence base is patchy - and the lack of replications is a factor...
Good grief, a new blog. Several small and quite different ME/CFS studies have come up with the same tantalising finding – and now a team of two...
I'm not sure how to interpret this estimate of there being 20-30k people out of work due to LC at July 2022. The study has many great aspects:...
That seems very low relative to the size of the 'limited a lot' category, and reports of LC more generally. Do you have a link to the paper? I...
I suspect they are too high but getting at prevalence is tricky. Gemma Samms and Chris Ponting published an estimage of 600k edit 390k based on...
Like it.
I think we’ve got a pretty good idea of what it will say, based on what’s come out so far. Whether it impacts on people with ME, we obviously...
It would be easy to miss in this article that both AfME and the MEA oppose CBT and GET, contributed to the 2021 NICE guidelines and have worked to...
I don’t know anything about the subject area, but this looks important for three reasons: – The European Research Council is presumably something...
My experience with modafinil is that it did help with fatigue (presumably the reason it was being trialled for MS). But it pushed me to doing more...
Many years ago, when modafinil first came out, my consultant was running a trial using it for MS. He asked me if I wanted to try it, and I decided...
I guess a lot depends on the number and quality of speakers, but this series of workshop seems like a big step forward and well thought through....
Turns out it is a twin study and was posted here by Chris Ponting in 2019...
I remember a large US insurance study from a few years back - not sure if it wsa this one - but it had a low sex ratio and CFS incidence was...
This is good news, and exactly what we need. With GWAS studies, size makes a big difference, and it’s fairly easy to combine the results of...
