    Forward ME Group – Bodily Stress Syndrome

    I don't have a good understanding of all the goings on but is there a danger that the WHO will remove ME from the 'neurological' category into BSS? I so hope this is not likely...also when is this WHO update due to be finalised?

    Sugar

    Has anyone seen any improvement giving up sugar? I have leaky gut and obviously should be cutting down but I am addicted. I find that a cuppa and a bar of chocolate always lift my mood, albeit temporarily. However, my health is continuing to decline. And I feel maybe I should give it up to see...

    What is Action for ME's current (March 2018) position on the PACE trial?

    @Action for M.E Clare, you do realize that people are dying from M.E....Merryn Crofts, Ian Rudds were recent deaths. M.E can be life threatening and fatal. Biomedical research is needed not exercise or cbt. Lives are at stake, what does it take to get through??? I just can't understand where...

    Trinity College Dublin: New research network will bolster our understanding of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

    How do they plan on getting accurate numbers when we have no definitive diagnostic criteria that is used by medical practitioners? Alot of doctors think fibro and ME are the same thing or else know nothing about ME. Until that problem is addressed...the whole thing is a waste of time imo

    USA: National Institutes of Health (NIH) intramural ME/CFS study

    Stem cell transplant 'game changer' for MS patients

    As they use stem cells from patient's blood, as it is unaffected by MS.....I wonder does that exclude ME patients from something like this as we have something (s) not right in our blood as per Fluge & Mella and Dr. Davis. I suppose it's the usual...we don't know enough about the pathogenesis of...

    Gary Burgess - 'My illness has shown journalism can be a force for good'

    @Gary Burgess I get very concerned when I read 'getting better'.......as Trish said, so many of us don't get better, in fact most with ME as defined by ICC criteria do not recover. Some get worse. I am almost 2 years in, use a wheelchair, partially bedbound, cannot function as a mum to my kids...
