    Use of the Overcoming Functional Neurological Symptoms: A Five Areas Approach Workbook in a Therapist-Led Skills Group Format 2025 Cotton et al

    Only 6 patients: 3 out of 6 had significant improvement, that's 50%, upon just 2 of 11 PROMIS measures, that's almost nothing. Do the authors need to do another study to establish its efficacy? Please keep the paywall up, I've seen enough.

    Preprint Initial findings from the DecodeME genome-wide association study of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, 2025, DecodeMe Collaboration

    As long as there are interesting connections there is no broken record as far as I can see. Keep them coming! Others might make a connection, somehow, somewhere.

    News from The Netherlands

    Patients with ME will not be mentioned in a protocol for years to come. Though it is a lenghty proces, euthanisia is easier to get than treatment that can be lifesaving. Bottomline: "We are not helping ME/CFS patients when they need our help; only when life become unbearable we will lend a...

    Nothing wrong with the muscles? Can't find anything wrong in the brain? Untill it is researched in a rigorous way. Two papers in one day you posted @SNT Gatchaman, really helpful. Highlights as always highly appreciated.

    Protocol Early identification of functional somatic disorders in an internal medicine diagnostic clinic: The DISTRESS trial 2025 Madsen, Fink et al

    I can't see beyond the paywall, but this kind of research seems to be done for insurers that have to pay the bills. @bobbler mentioned this already: "cost effectiveness and healthcare utilisation". More BPS papers show how cost effective they can be. The numbers of interventions seem to come...

    Transdiagnostic approach to understanding persistent physical symptoms, 2025 Chalder et al

    Win for you Trish! In the introduction ME/CFS is not mentioned:) It is not about ME/CFS. Just about fatigue. Same old, same old bunched together. What a revelation. Are the authors getting paid for this? Bring healthcare costs down by cutting out BPS. Pw ME/CFS will immediately feel better...

    Review A Perspective on the Role of Metformin in Treating [...] (ME/CFS) and Long COVID (2025) Fineberg et al

    Well run trials; wouldn't that be nice!! Problem as always is the money to do such a trial. Just anecdotal n=1. When I got metformin for diabetes my muscle pain was less. Not 3 or 4 days, but half that. Really welcome. I wouldn't want everyone to wait, 5 or 10 years, for good trials results...

    Why don't doctors trust women? Because they don't know much about us

    When specialists treat men and women in such awful ways are they even trained in communication? Is it still: the med student has learned a lot and then sees the first patient and reports to the supervisor? Or are they using video or other media now? What about role play? My diabetes nurse was...

    The Netherlands ME/CFS Cohort and Biobank (NMCB) consortium

    Would be nice if they would use NIRS for a longer period than just during exercise to see if they can replicate @SNT Gatchaman 's Moxy measurements.

    Preprint Initial findings from the DecodeME genome-wide association study of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, 2025, DecodeMe Collaboration

    The best question to ask is. What would want to do if you were cured? A pwME/CFS would come up with a 50 items bucket list A depressed person would come up with: I don't know
