    NIH: Accelerating Research on ME/CFS meeting, 4th and 5th April 2019

    For those who’ve haven’t checked the agenda since it was originally posted in January it’s grown in speakers, talks, and topics and now the conference is two full days. If I remember correctly the original agenda was 1 1/2 days. Will anyone else on S4ME be there in person? Would be nice to meet...

    Brian Hughes - If you spend 20 years gaslighting your patients, perhaps you should think twice before accusing *them* of trolling *you*

    Has psychiatry as a field outlived it’s usefulness? Has it done more overall harm than good? In many ways it’s a slowly dying field partially because of their own doing. Yes I know the more recent subfield of molecular psychiatry is trying to turn things around by doing real science, but all...

    Metabolic fingerprinting for diagnosis of fibromyalgia and other rheumatologic disorders (2018) Hackshaw et al.

    Isn’t this study similar to A new approach to find biomarkers in (CFS/ME) by single-cell Raman micro-spectroscopy, 2018, Morten et al https://www.s4me.info/threads/a-new-approach-to-find-biomarkers-in-cfs-me-by-single-cell-raman-micro-spectroscopy-2018-morten-et-al.5445/

    Havana Syndrome: U.S. and Canadian diplomats targeted with possible weapon causing brain injury and neurological symptoms

    I'm wondering what does everyone think about the overlapping symptoms to ME/CFS? Of course not that we were targeted with any weapon :laugh:, but could it be that we, through other mechanisms, have experienced traumatic brain injury? Here are the symptoms mentioned by diplomat patients and...

    Havana Syndrome: U.S. and Canadian diplomats targeted with possible weapon causing brain injury and neurological symptoms

    Drawing additional parallels to ME/CFS, if you can believe it there was a response letter to the JAMA study from U Penn abowve from a Robert Bartholomew, who argued that all these diplomats, their families, their pets have some form of mass psychogenic illness...

    Havana Syndrome: U.S. and Canadian diplomats targeted with possible weapon causing brain injury and neurological symptoms

    I specifically made this post because of the parallels there are with ME/CFS — sufferers not being believed since standard tests show nothing wrong even though doctors find and clearly acknowledge neurological clinical symptoms. CBS News is a major news organization and 60 Minutes is one of the...

    Havana Syndrome: U.S. and Canadian diplomats targeted with possible weapon causing brain injury and neurological symptoms

    The babies, toddlers and pets of diplomats were also having major symptoms of brain trauma, such as throwing up, headaches, balance problems, nose bleeds. In China and Cuba they were supposedly attacking people in their apartments and homes with their families and pets, not at the embassy or...

    ME Association: ME/CFS researcher Cara Tomas explains the results from a new study on energy production and mitochondria

    Unless my memory is playing with me I thought I read multiple studies looking into mtDNA mutations and potential mitochondrial disorders in ME patients going many years back, not just recently. That technology has existed for a long time and was an obvious “low hanging fruit” research target...

    All the mitochondrial research to date where they already looked possible mtDNA mutations and performed other experiments on intrinsic mitochondrial function and found zero evidence of genetic mitochondrial disorders in PwME.

    Artificial intelligence based discovery of the association between depression and chronic fatigue syndrome, 2019, Chen et al

    Nothing in this work uses artificial intelligence and it’s really sad that they try to incorporate buzzwords in their title and paper to attract attention. CNNs are simply a type of deep learning method which by itself is not AI.

    ME Association: ME/CFS researcher Cara Tomas explains the results from a new study on energy production and mitochondria

    I think my post is being misunderstood. I believe previous work has confirmed that we do not have an inborn mitochondrial disorder and there is nothing intrinsically wrong with our mitochondrial genome. This is what I meant be “figured out”.

    ME Association: ME/CFS researcher Cara Tomas explains the results from a new study on energy production and mitochondria

    I did not say that or implying anything so broadly. The OP doesn’t mention larger study replication of previous results at all, its like the researcher is starting from zero. Multiple previous studies have shown there is nothing intrinsically wrong with our mitochondrial genome and that we do...

    ME Association: ME/CFS researcher Cara Tomas explains the results from a new study on energy production and mitochondria

    Haven’t multiple other groups already figured this out? What is new here? It seems like this researcher is simply ignoring all the big energy dysfunction results that came out in recent years and is trying to reinvent the wheel?
