PEM has put me in a zombie-like state at times.
My experiences with PEM seemed to point to a chemokine from muscle cell damage, with IFN-g matching the consistent 24 hr delay. I doubt that...
Sleep length and quality didn't affect my ME symptoms either, including PEM.
Maybe not for large electrodes, but gold is bioreactive as nanoparticles, and maybe the electrode points qualify as nanoparticles (electron shells...
I'm pretty sure my journal never used the term "florid PEM". My PEM was pretty consistent for known triggers, and I don't think it ever lasted...
Whatever the nanoneedles were made of, some molecules might bind to them, changing their electrical properties, changing the overall circuit...
I've had good and bad responses to specific fatty acids. I haven't bothered to try to figure out the mechanisms involved, because as this paper...
I haven't seen a nutritionist, but my wild guess, from experience with other medical experts, is that they are more likely to have a "Which common...
"too-good-a-clue-to-leave-abandoned" or "too good to be true"? If someone is convinced it's too good to be abandoned, and thus a potential career...
As I replied earlier, it could be the difference is in how the electrodes react with the samples, with the cells themselves having no differences....
Before, during and after. PEM is easy enough to plan in advance, so you can get a reliable baseline, then observe while it rises, then falls...
Maybe in experiments where they missed an important factor? It is possible that some process or reagent is used in other experiments and is...
ME could be due to a single gene, but it could also be a combination of many genes, varying with the individual. Just for a thought experiment,...
I think it would also be interesting to ask alternative practitioners, particularly of the ancient practices, whether they were familiar with the...
I've had bad sleeps--short, broken, disturbing dreams, etc--and while they might add some similar symptoms (true fatigue digestive changes), I...
"causes pain, cramps and muscle weakness during intense muscle work" That rules out PEM, which I think is defined as symptoms post-exertion, not...
True, good sleep doesn't improve my ME symptoms. That's why I keep objecting to the term "unrefreshing sleep": that symptom (waking up feeling...
I'm guessing that histamine release is fairly fast. My physically-induced PEM had a consistent 24 hr delay, with an abrupt rise, so that seems...
The "hyperfatigue" term will probably be bad for PWME. People will think they understand how "being tired all the time" feels, except that their...
I'd love to find a list of "energy-giving activities" that work for PWME. I haven't found any yet.
