30 years ago I had a 3 hour Glucose Tolerance Test. Started at 5,2 went up to 10,8. The doc suspected hypo glycaemia. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with diabetes II. That took a long time to develop. Succinate and Reverse Elektron Tansport in ischemia and reperfusion? RET takes up to 5 times...

Do psychologists really believe these theories? Maybe they should see a psychologist about that.

Maybe reduced cerebral blood flow and more immature red blood cells (Canadian research). Higher turnover of RBC was also found in astronauts. Viscosity of the blood can be higher. RBC deformability can be decreased. (A K Saha 2018/19) Could all that affect blood oxygen levels? Less blood to the...

Wow!!! Could I have a virus passport please? Maybe there are some good subgroup ideas for ME/CFS too in this paper. I'll isolate as much as I can, not adding Covid to my virus-passport.

According to Clauw/Calabrese I'm having nociplastic pain because I was on my electric bike for 10 Km to get my covid vaccination yesterday. All the muscles I used are sore. I also have a very bad knee, in need of replacement, shouldn't that cause me even more pain if their theory is correct? My...

Many thanks @Andy for the abundance of new threads. Thanks for the energy spent and hard work to inform all of us:thumbup::hug:.

"Sir" has otherized us in the medical world. And the medical world has embrased it and acted on it. Know nothing, don't study anything about ME/CFS and keep pointing to Sir and our heads. Grote griebels. (Dutch) Just try and pronounce it, same as :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

My mitochondria and the rest of me are at odds over what my bioenergeric demand is.

At least there were 75 participants smarter than the researchers by boycotting this way of testing. BPS still runs rampant here. When LC came up fysiotherapists, psychologists (CBT) and occupational therapist lined up to "help". No clue about LC and the "help" they could offer. Those "therapies"...

GET and CBT, these researchers have a lot to learn from ME/CFS researchers. (GET/CBT excluded of course)

Or the patient has ME/CFS (fatigue, pain and dizziness) and the endocrinologist dismisses that as a posssible comorbidity. I've experienced @SNT Gatchaman 's post # 4 too many times. Plenty of iatrogenic scars because of it.

Thanks for the Sarah Myhill reference. A very clear article about alcohol intolerance. There's also fermentation in the muscles in anaerobic metabolism, when there is not enough oxygen. I have no idea if that might result in alcohol related metabolites. Auto-brewery syndrome (ABS) seems quite...

Information about the author Herbert Renz-Polster: he has lived experience with ME/CFS.

Could pwME have their own brewery inside?

A condensed bombardment of data. Too overwhelming for my brainfog.

When lowered blood volume might play a role in ME/CFS, could drinking alcohol work way faster and more furious?

10.000 is the number of benefits from work related insurance. Full and partial benefits. That's for those who got it. There are many who didn't or had to go to court to fight for it. As I had to do over ME/CFS. (I won). Then there is the group that wasn't insured they get nothing or social...

My country has always been known to be on the penny. And now at the 200 million euro mark they "see" 10.000 long Covid sufferers? The patients or the costs? That's what I call (covid) dumbing down government. ME/CFS is still a "between the ears" thing here. I'm feeling for LC patients having to...

Before ME/CFS I drank just a little alcohol, later I tried a bit of wine at a dinner party but it gave me hot flashes, made me a zombie and at night too wired to sleep. Not social at all. So I stopped that. After a bowl of yoghurt from the fridge I later used 1/3 of a shotglass of port just to...
