    Norwegian Fluge & Mella daratumumab Haukeland trial 'ResetME' now accepting international donations

    From their Facebook page: https://m.facebook.com/61579371603061/ NOK 250,000 is only £18.8k/USD 24.5k. I lost track of the total amount. Back in September they were NOK 5.5m short? So now it's just NOK 1.75m and then the trial is fully funded or am I missing something?

    Daratumumab, isatuximab (CD38 drugs)

    No and no. Habets is all over the place and I wouldn't trust anything he says.

    How quickly could an effective drug treatment for ME/CFS be rolled out once approved?

    But that's exactly what's happening at the moment. Each GP or specialist I've spoken to think fatigue clinics are staffed by clinicians. I've had doctors assume they do specific blood tests or the multidisciplinary team includes immunologists or rheumatologists. That belief not going to change...

    How quickly could an effective drug treatment for ME/CFS be rolled out once approved?

    I don't think so. Even in other countries protests are relatively small as we have to rely on allies and carers, but there is some awareness. I have seen nothing of the sort in the UK. Daratumumab (if it works) can only be prescribed by specialists and they'll tell you they will only prescribe...

    Daratumumab, isatuximab (CD38 drugs)

    Weirdly, AIM-ME has gained no traction on social media. German patients are normally up in arms about lack of government funding, but now that funding is available and a researcher is blocking progress, everyone's quiet. Maybe people missed the announcement?

    Daratumumab, isatuximab (CD38 drugs)

    Why don't they start with AIM-ME asap? Is there an advantage to doing everything at the same time in terms of resources or recruitment?

    Is there a connection between ME/CFS and Sjogren's Syndrome? Discussion and a poll about testing

    Higher in what hierarchy? Because we know more about it, it's a superior disease? You're not making any sense. What even are Sjogren's giving symptoms of PEM? If they have PEM, they have ME/CFs whether or not they've been diagnosed with it.

    Is there a connection between ME/CFS and Sjogren's Syndrome? Discussion and a poll about testing

    And PEM isn't fatigue. If your friends have true PEM, they also have ME/CFS. If fatigue is their main issue, that's a Sjogren's thing I guess.

    Is there a connection between ME/CFS and Sjogren's Syndrome? Discussion and a poll about testing

    Sjogren's doesn't have PEM. Who cares if some other symptoms overlap? You can be deficient in iron or B12 which can result in fatigue, but that doesn't mean you have ME/CFS or Sjogrens.

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

    They've updated their website: https://www.me-foreningen.no/om-oss/stott-me-foreningen/me-fondet/english-me-fund/ And claim this: I'm confused about the lactic acid statement? Iirc we don't have evidence for that.

    Pacing with a heart rate monitor for people with [ME/CFS] and [LC]: a feasibility study, 2025, Clague-Baker, Davenport, Bull et al.

    HRV just tells me whether or not I slept well. Which I know anyway so don't need a value for that. It doesn't correlate with steps or symptom severity at all.

    Efgartigimod (Vyvgart) - what could the trial data possibly tell us?

    If this was mainly for POTS only some patients presumably happened to have PEM. Unless they screened for that specifically, I don't think the data is very interesting. ChatGPT says the drug reduces IgG levels which is interesting though.
