    Post-Exertional Malaise - a discussion including defining and measuring PEM

    I am realising that my fluctuating response to energy using activities is affected by how “poisoned” or otherwise my body is at the time of energy use. So if I try to ignore really how I’m feeling and simply do something because I can’t resist eg because the sunshine is beautiful in the garden...

    United Kingdom: ME/CFS in The Times (including Sean O'Neill)

    I wonder and hope, that having listened to this interview, somebody who is good at word-craft, can get Jeremy Hunt on our side about damage to pwMW caused by GET. Jeremy Hunt also banged on a lot about transparency in the NHS when things aren't working for patients. :thumbup:

    Would it be possible to train blood vessels without risking PEM?

    What I am sharing is just my personal experience (so n =1 and not statistically valid ) hence not medically suggested/approved of etc etc. However this has been consistent with me for 21 years after developing ME after Glandular Fever. I have discovered what seems to help a bit with being able...

    Interview with Dharam Ablashi: On the discovery of Human Herpes Virus 6 (HHV6) and its involvement in chronic inflammatory disease

    I find this v v interesting. I did an M.Sc project ~10 years ago now looking at betaherpes viral loads in brain tissue using RT qPCR. I only found HHV6A but I didn’t get results published cos due to ME I didn’t get to finish and had to crash out with diploma. From what I learnt and have...

    Crowdfunding: Trial By Error: [David Tuller] Reporting on ME, CFS, "medically unexplained symptoms," and related stuff, 2020

    I have donated what I can and have everything crossed that David Tuller gets what he needs to continue his advocacy for us all. I so much appreciate his brilliant challenges to the UK based out of date wonky thinking about ME/CFS. :thumbup::)

    Human Leukocyte Antigen alleles associated with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS): Fluge, Mella et al 2020

    . My gentle wonderings and it would be lovely to get more background information to help me make sense of stuff :- 1) Will there ever be a deep dive into the sequences of the HLA regions of these 2600 self reported CFS patients in UK Biobank as these technologies get ever cheaper? 2) Will the...

    UK CFS/M.E. Research Collaborative [CMRC] conference, 10th and 11th March 2020

    I am sure this has probably been brought up elsewhere so please ignore me. I sense that I have a lack of energy ( for me ME = missing energy) which causes all my symptoms due to my homeostasis systems being out of whack. My tin pot understanding is that lots of energy is used by immune systems...

    The Effect of Comorbid Medical and Psychiatric Diagnoses on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 2019, Natelson et al

    I'd forgotten I'd already seen this;) However it gave me a good boost (again:)) to see even more good quality evidence undermining the old delusional ideas of poorly informed psychiatrists.

    Open Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine: ME/CFS: Detecting Mycotoxin Subgroup

    Does anyone know of an accurate, precise and reliable toxic mould home test kit where the samples are sent off to an accredited lab for analysis in the UK? I would be interested to be able to tick off "mycotoxins" as a perpetuating factor in my decades with this disease.:thumbup:

    Action for M.E. 2019 AGM and conference 15th October 2019

    Thank you for the information, it always helps me. Yes Cinders66 you make great points. I am not familiar with the awful Manchester work re RCGP e-guidance but totally feel that this hijacking of the ME issue by the BPS lot is the real nub of this problem. I'm really hopeful that David T is...

    Action for M.E. 2019 AGM and conference 15th October 2019

    Thank you for that information.....startling. Since I obvs don't know the details of processes used by NHS, the more I get to hear the more Kafka-esque it gets:(. What are all databases used for?

    Action for M.E. 2019 AGM and conference 15th October 2019

    I haven't seen this before....v. interesting and I aim to read later..............although those 2 authors PD White and E Crawley warns me that my energy levels will need to be in better state before I look:nailbiting::whistle: Plus I noticed PD White using Queen Mary as his location even in...

    Action for M.E. 2019 AGM and conference 15th October 2019

    My understanding was this paper only covers a few (3 or 4) area health authorities. My point really is : How can the government/NHS budget for proper care of ME patients without mining their databases to get the accurate objective measure of the ME/CFS patient numbers to be funded and...

    Action for M.E. 2019 AGM and conference 15th October 2019

    I asked the question about whether DoH/NHS yet know how many people there are in the UK living with ME? (following on from the questions asked by the brilliant MP Carol Monaghan in the various parliamentary debates earlier this year where it was clear the DoH didn't) I still don't know the...

    Well my absolute favourite piece of the whole day was my hero David Tuller. He was awesome and just said it how it is. Just brilliant. Thank you David Tuller

    BBC Radio 2 Jeremy Vine Glandular Fever / M.E. discussion

    I was pleased to hear this discussion. However I was concerned that the issue of EBV being a latent virus seemed to be avoided. That some of her oversimplifications might not have been that helpful?

    Fragmented mitochondria released from microglia trigger A1 astrocytic response and propagate inflammatory neurodegeneration, 2019, Joshi et al

    This I feel is very interesting and is quite a hot topic in a fair few areas I understand. I did a pilot study looking at Beta-herpes viral load on the Stanley Neuropathology consortium collection of cerebellums from 15 normals, 15 MMD and 15 schizophrenia about 10 years ago.( Unfortunately I...

    Dr. Ron Davis of Stanford - Research Update - Drug Screening. Video from Emerge Symposium March 2019, Australia

    I have a vague memory of ATP being recycled through ATP to ADP to AMP. The most efficient place to recycle from is ADP ? Plus that if it gets to AMP stage then AMP can be excreted and so the time taken to build more ATP takes even longer. However I am sure somebody has been onto this in the...
