    Are there any health advantages to long-term immobility?

    I agree. Crashing out of the workforce, using my savings because I probably won't be eligible for disability benefits, losing my independence and facing life-long poverty is more stressful than some random deadlines or difficult managers at work. I think for now the financial impact is the most...

    Review Advocating the role of trained immunity in the pathogenesis of ME/CFS; a mini review, 2025, Humer et al

    I wouldn't describe myself as mild because I'm housebound and even small activities can trigger PEM, but every day is a good day in terms of not having symptoms when I'm not in PEM.

    Review Advocating the role of trained immunity in the pathogenesis of ME/CFS; a mini review, 2025, Humer et al

    Does feeling epic mean no baseline symptoms or no PEM regardless of exertion or both?

    PEM discussion thread - post-exertional malaise

    My immediate PEM symptoms change every few weeks, but at the moment I get body chills, a sore throat and painful legs. If I have a headache the next day, I definitely overdid it, but I count the immediate and the delayed onset as PEM. I don't have symptoms when I'm not in PEM apart from...

    Sore throats swollen glands

    This happened to me a few weeks after I recovered from covid. Nothing was found and I never made the connection to long covid because I didn't know it was a thing in 2020.

    “Adrenaline Rush” phenomenon— What helps?

    I'm curious about this, too! Even if it's all woo woo, it could make for some nice mocktails!

    2025: The 2019/24 Cochrane Larun review Exercise Therapy for CFS - including IAG, campaign, petition, comments and articles

    Allegedly it had around 100,000 readers as of 4 years ago. But this isn't an actual newspaper with editorial staff. https://medienwoche.ch/2021/05/20/gibt-es-eine-mittellaendische-zeitung/

    Long Non Coding RNAs and pain

    Wasn't there a mouse model for ME/CFS? Or is it not valid? What if "something in the blood" successfully replicates previous results? Maybe we can induce ME/CFS in rats somehow, take healthy control rats and do immunofluorescent experiments. How did they get "unhealthy" rats for their experiments?

    If ME/CFS research got £1 billion, what would stop it being wasted?

    Follow up question: if I remember correctly Audrey's position is only funded until the end of the year. Has additional funding been secured yet?

    What could it mean biologically that both physical and cognitive exertion can cause PEM?

    I don't have OI, but I work mostly from bed to keep my heart rate low. I get PEM from cognitive exertion surprisingly quickly, but only if I'm working on something unfamiliar where I have to think quite hard. Routine tasks are not a problem. I also monitor my heart rate and I get PEM even if it...
