    Hydroxyproline elevated in ME/CFS

    This is from Ron Davis´presentation in May 2019, saying "we found in severe patients": to be found at about 12:00 - 14:20 Indolpropionate is from a bacterium in the gut. Lysine not further mentioned here, and hydroxyproline is only mentioned shortly - I remember though that Ron said...

    Undark: The Value of One: What Can We Learn from Case Studies?

    @Peter Trewhitt This is true, and therefore it is said that we never can be sure to have found the truth (in empirical matters, and the truth of this sentence then is a non-empirical or a logical one). Nevertheless there are all these individuals, and we often quite aren´t able to "understand"...

    Commentary: Suicide is a Concern for the Chronic Invisible Illness Community, 2020, Pederson

    Another thing which bothers me a bit is that suicide is commonly associated with feeling depressed or something like that. This would make it a pathological behaviour. I am afraid this is not true, and such an approach will not hinder all these suicides which are not thought through well enough...

    Undark: The Value of One: What Can We Learn from Case Studies?

    :DHow then comes that a specific and sadly not-generalized in an individual doesn´t disturb the universal in an individual?:D

    Commentary: Suicide is a Concern for the Chronic Invisible Illness Community, 2020, Pederson

    Mortality in [PwME/CFS] McManimen et al 2016. A different approach here, they want to determine if PwME are dying earlier of the same causes than the general population. After this finding there is an issue with suicide, but it is not clear if this would translate into a higher rate.

    Rituximab and placebo response

    I read it as trick to convey that nonsense has happened.

    Cortisol levels in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and atypical depression measured using hair and saliva specimens, 2020, Cleare/Chalder/others

    To me it seems that the definition of psychiatry is not made by its subject but by its way to treat problems - which is highly dubious. Subject-wise psychiatry is somewhere between psychology and neurology. But where are the two borders? I think psychiatry could be defined through...

    Chronic Lyme Disease: a discussion of the epidemiological data

    One must but say, the evaluation of data, both clincial and biomedical ones, is difficult here, for two reasons: the symptoms are unspecific, i.e can arise from several causes, known and unknown ones biomedical diagnostic tools for borrelia are not reliable If both parameters for an...

    Guideline from Danish Health Authorities on coding Functional Disorders (also about ME)

    This is even more reasonable, in a scientific surrounding - probably I am - as the most here - somehow sceptical about their ambitions ... Ha, due to the first inaccuracy (as you called it, very friendly) - sâ-ledes probabaly could directly translate into the English so-lead!! :banghead:

    Guideline from Danish Health Authorities on coding Functional Disorders (also about ME)

    This might be pretty important (though I understand Danish not very well): udviklingen i forstâelsen af ârsager til funktionele lidelser det er en öget anerkendelse og forsâelse af, at ârsager fra funktionele lidelser formentilg et multifaktoriel, og videnskabelige studier stötter op om...

    Guideline from Danish Health Authorities on coding Functional Disorders (also about ME)

    Thank you for clarifying, I knew that there is something not proper. "Functional Disorder" though wouldn´t be bad at all, if only if not the all the world would like to add "of psychological cause", and, of course, "not of other causes".

    Chronic Lyme Disease: a discussion of the epidemiological data

    Sticking once more to details rather going through epidemiologics: Late Disseminated Lyme Disease Assocoated Pathology and Spirochate Persistence Posrtreatment in Rheusu Macaques Crossland et al 2018 As I said, borrelia have been shown to accumulate possibly very huge amounts of manganese...

    Chronic Lyme Disease: a discussion of the epidemiological data

    Providing a glance of a mechanism instead of an epidemiological study: I happen to know two impacts on my health, one being borrelia. I remember now that when I was four years old I had at least two ticks. In later summer I felt dizzy, fell over and broke a bone. Since then I had lost quite...

    Central Sensitization Syndrome and Hypothyroidism: An Evaluation of Symptom Severity and Comorbid Diagnoses, 2019, Howard et al

    Probabaly they make themselves some notes from different articles and then put them together in a formal logical way. If there are words there will be found a meaning, too (Lichtenberg, I believe). Common sense and self suggesting things are most difficult to see, here. A kaleidoscope brings...

    B12/Folic Acid and D3/K2 Supplementation

    There might be one nevertherless. Obviously actions in the body take place in a range of degrees. These actions will be boosted or slowed down by molecules to be released, or even atoms. Furthermore, there are different influences on an action (directly and indirectly), it´s a web (which must...

    Differentiating post-polio syndrome from myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue syndrome, 2019, Jason et al

    A well written related study: Parallels Between Post-Polio Fatique and [CFS]: A Common Pathophysiology? - Bruno et al 1998 The paralleles are mainly: neuropsychologic ones (high normal or superior range of higher level cognitive processes, slowed information processing) neuroanatomical ones...

    Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy the Gold Standard for Psychotherapy?

    The problem with psychological theories is that the disciples think that one theory is true over another one. From Popper we learned that in empirical theories of objective nature a theory might prove to be false, but never can be proven to be right. This is the first thing, that psychologists...

    Hearing things?

    When I had moved into my new flat I ever heard accident cars. Maybe a completely exaggerated pass through, as there is an hospital indeed some distance away. But it might also have been an interpretation without anything, as I knew about the hospital. It eventually stopped. Much later, when I...

    Telling me you don’t know is ok, 2020, Wong

    It´s not human. When I got to meet this abuse I thought, they do so b/c otherwise everybody could come and tell they are ill. But in fact doctors are adroit enough in finding out if it is true what you are sa... if you really have issues.
