    Monitoring Carotid Blood Flow Using In-Ear Wearable Device During Tilt-Table Testing, 2023, Hemantkumar Tripathi MD et al

    has anyone tried to order it? I tried from Norway with VPN, but my cards declined. Tried with a Norwegian, German and UK one. Is it any point in getting this if one actually experiences a change in heart rate when standing?

    Monitoring Carotid Blood Flow Using In-Ear Wearable Device During Tilt-Table Testing, 2023, Hemantkumar Tripathi MD et al

    Has anyone preordered this? I tried, but no luck. I would assume one needs a US debit/credit card. https://www.stat-health.com/

    Use of sildenafil (viagra) to alter fatigue, functional status and impaired cerebral blood flow in ... CFS, 2020, Friedman (Pfizer)

    Who says anything about hiding symptoms? Viagra has a major effect on me. I experience less pain and fatigue. Not sure if I would be much better if I took it every day, but when I have done too much or need to do more than I able to, then taking Viagra helps a lot. I get some of the same effect...

    Patent: Method for the treatment of CFS using an inhibitory or cytotoxic agent against plasma cells, 2021, Fluge, Mella

    Holy cow, that is interesting. Looked at the price of Bortezomib, and it ain't cheap. What is your thoughts on the proposed treatment/patent, and the safety of Bortezomib, dr. @Jonathan Edwards?

    Digital ME conference in Stryn, Norway April 13-14th 2021

    @Marky, interesting. Perhaps Obinituzumab will be used...? I asked Fluge about this 6 years ago. He said they were looking into it and other drugs that killed b-cells and memory b-cells. I think it was prof. Edwards that said it was like an atomic bomb compared to Rituximab.

    Ron Davis’s big immune study is looking at HLA genes (HLA, WTF?) Here’s the story. [Simon M blog]

    I hope someone can translate. I understand Swedish, but I can't do it at the moment. With respect to my post about cyclo and hla-c*07:04; it seems that PWME with ME after Canadian criteria with hla-c*07:04 have an increased chance of responding to cyclo treatment for their ME symptoms...

    Ron Davis’s big immune study is looking at HLA genes (HLA, WTF?) Here’s the story. [Simon M blog]

    Seems like hla-c*07:04 is a predictor of response to cyclo. It is very premature, but how does one test to figure out if ones got this or not?

    Is ME a metabolic problem or a signalling problem?

    i bought myself a device to test lactate. Over the years I’ve deteriorated with more fatigue, leg pain, cramps and the feeling of lactic acid. Nowadays it feels like the lactic acid is there 24/7. A couple of years ago I didn’t feel it before I walked few hundred steps. The readings are not...

    Suggested Pathology of Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease [...] (2019) Bohne

    If you look at blood lactate levels in patients they are not normal, but the critics say that they are high due to deconditioning.

    David Tuller: Trial By Error: Cochrane's Report on Courtney's Complaint

    A fellow PWME sent a FOI request for it. The Norwegian Public Institute of Health had no lawful way of not making it public even if they wanted. FOI requests are quite common in Norway. All correspondence to or from governmental agencies is to be listed. To, from, and the title is listed, and...

    David Tuller: Trial By Error: Cochrane's Report on Courtney's Complaint

    I'm not sure what "sources and methods" mean, but it is from a reliable source. Why Cochrane isn't open with this kind of stuff is a question, but I guess they would call it "internal work" or something like that. Cochrane doesn't like a PR scandal. Someone did leak e-mails to Reuters last...

    Insights into myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome phenotypes through comprehensive metabolomics, 2018, Lipkin et al

    Has anyone tried ordering B5? "Use of vitamin B supplements was associated with higher levels of pantothenic acid and lower fatigue scores (data not shown)."

    30 & 31 May | Invest in ME Research international colloquium

    To my knowledge they are discussing a blinded cyclo trial, but I don't understand how they can manage to do it while keeping the study blinded. How is it possible? Could they make patients who get placebo nauseous in some way? Perhaps there is some drug you can give. Not sure if that will work...

    Norway and prof. Gundersen: PACE-debate in newspaper Morgenbladet

    If you'd like to write a reply to Gundersen in Morgenbladet ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgenbladet ), please do contact me. We've done translation business together before, with success - even though Landmark and Gundersen themselves wouldn't admit so. Landmark is a lost cause, but I...

    Norway and prof. Gundersen: PACE-debate in newspaper Morgenbladet

    In an article in 2016 Gundersen wrote this about the PACE trial, and the ongoing dispute about the data sheets: Later on he wrote: The translation was done in a hurry, so it might not be 100% accurate, but I guess it says enough. Nevertheless, I do hope that Dr. Gundersen would join this...
