    Translating S4ME Fact Sheets into German

    Thanks @MSEsperanza! I implemented your suggestions. I have a tendency to write unnecessarily long sentences with many sub-clauses, but it's a good idea to split them instead. I slightly changed one sentence to avoid repeating "Reize": "Viele Erkrankte vertragen normale Geräusch-, Licht-...

    Germany: ME/CFS Research Foundation

    I have the impression they're raising a lot of money fairly quickly for such a new organisation. From what I've been reading here German ME/CFS research doesn't look promising, but they have an international scientific advisory board with Fluge and Mella among others so hopefully the funds find...

    Personal project: Sick Genes, a website for compiling significant gene findings from studies on ME/CFS and other conditions

    Would you consider making it open source? You'd still have to review PRs, but it could be an option.

    Trial Report Plasma cell targeting with the anti-CD38 antibody daratumumab in ME/CFS -a clinical pilot study, 2025, Fluge et al

    Does that really happen? Because it would mean dara is not an option for anyone who got sick pre-covid.

    Pathophysiology of sleep disturbances/unrefreshing sleep in pwME?

    I get daytime sleepiness, too. The important thing is that I HAVE to fall asleep to recover. If I just rest for hours on end, the sleepiness doesn't go away. But if I fall asleep, and usually I only fall asleep for 5 minutes, I wake up and it's like my system has been reset and the sleepiness is...

    If an effective treatment comes along for ME/CFS, how can we physically rehabilitate ourselves?

    Don't scare me like that :oops: My prodromal phase symptom cost me my career. It's the main thing that needs to go away.

    Does anyone else get a runny nose, sneezing, coughing etc during PEM?

    I get a runny nose and painful sinuses when I'm overdoing it and it's a warning signal. I don't get it during PEM.

    The bone marrow NK-cell profile predicts MRD negativity in patients with multiple myeloma treated with daratumumab-based therapy, Korst et al. 2025

    Is it possible to undergo NK cell therapy to increase the amount of NK cells and then be treated with daratumumab? Random link I skimmed with no knowledge of biology...

    The bone marrow NK-cell profile predicts MRD negativity in patients with multiple myeloma treated with daratumumab-based therapy, Korst et al. 2025

    Other mabs? That we already have maybe? And if not how long would it take to develop a new one from scratch? Why would it block monoclonals?

    Open Norway: Plasma cell aimed treatment with daratumumab in ME/CFS (ResetME) - Haukeland University Hospital

    We don't have a general confirmed mechanism let alone one for spontaneous remissions. How would anyone develop a drug without a target? My understanding is that dara is a stop gap for some pwME until we have something better.
