I still think that's a misconception, or at least it doesn't apply to all PWME. For me it wasn't energy limit; it seemed to be muscle damage that...
Yes, but this thread is also making assumptions of the cause of the lack of physical ability. "No energy in the tank" implies that there's...
Physical strength and stamina are not a function only of ATP; there's a complex set of systems involved. Think of a modern gasoline engine: it's...
No, those are two different aspects or forms of 'fatigue'. You could be unable to walk a mile due to metabolic limits, but you could also be...
It's sad that something so obvious--that 'fatigue' is still undefined and not understood--is newsworthy as an observation from a research study....
Yes, but that's just one possibility for a test for ME. A test for ME is an important goal; much more important than a test for just one ME...
I've noticed quite a few studies lately about the complexity of the brain: neurons, glia, blood and glyph networks, various chemical and other...
I still disagree. It would be like an in vitro test for sneezing: it's unlikely to lead to a dramatic new understanding of colds, or a treatment...
I doubt that qualitative interviews of vague symptoms qualifies for two decimal point precision in their results. I think my judgement of my PEM...
Was there a point in this study of "excessive amounts of anything can cause problems"? Was super-mega-doses of TRP intended as a treatment for...
I think there are pretty potent ones even without prescriptions. Furthermore, antioxidants are not an 'only does good for the body' component;...
Far too little data to make any useful conclusions from, and definitely too little to make any claims about potential treatment targets. Even if...
They lost my trust on the first sentence. No one can qualitatively measure fatigue, or even identify different types of fatigue-like states, so...
Ummm, if antioxidants were an effective treatment for ME, wouldn't some of us have noticed that by now? Theories are great, but many of us...
More confirmation on how little is known about how the body works. ME could involve some similar still-undiscovered mechanism, possibly involving...
Isn't that an expensive and somewhat risky (blood going outside of your body for a while) treatment to be considered 'practical'? I suppose that...
What's your diet like? Eating fatty meats later in the day makes me wake up feeling like my inner furnace is going full blast. Also, is your...
Aren't there examples of government boondoggles where there was just a minor fuss about not getting the desired result, but no heads really...
I did donate to ME/CFS research back when I realized that it was what my mysterious disease was. Since then, what I've read about projects it's...
What if they'd put that money up as prizes: first to develop a reliable test for long-covid; treatments that work for x% of patients; discovering...
