    ME/CFS International Research Symposium, March 2019, Australia

    There was a glitch in the live streaming from day 2 and his talk (and everything from before lunch) is gone. Hopefully it will be included when they post everything on YT. He repeated most of his talk on day 3, but not sure if he repeated that bit. You can find day 3 here...

    Mestinon

    DAY 31: Update Current dosage: 3x 45mg (135 mg daily) The side effects continue to be few and small, mostly making me a little jittery when taken on an empty stomach but little else. However, the effects of the drug appear to be nonexistent, and so I have decided to discontinue Mestinon from...

    I completed the questionnaire this morning :thumbup: I’m very excited about this study, we desperately need to map out the challenges faced by PwME in accessing health and social services, and everything I’ve seen so far makes me optimistic that the people behind this study are doing a very...

    Pain & CBD (Cannabidiol)?

    It works wonders for me, in the right dose it can completely kill neurological pain and help with sleep. However, I have only tried it in the form of a CBD rich strain baked into brownies. CBD oil is illegal in Norway, but I will try to get hold of some from Sweden the next time I'm over the...

    Glutathione does it help and which one?

    Glutathione does nothing for me in any form, but NAC especially (a precursor) has been helpful in reducing neuroinflammation and brainfog. Will be trying precursors ALA and milk thistle as well eventually, as I have seen multiple people on here say they find them helpful.

    ME debate in Danish Parliament March 12 (2019)

    I believe the Danish MEA partnered with one of the political parties/representatives to prepare this and bring it forward. Similar to the partnership with CM in the UK, maybe. I think a lot of work has been done over a long period of time to get there, but I don’t know any of the specifics.

    Trial By Error: Kaiser Permanente Changes Course

    Thank you @Webdog for proving that even if we're very ill, if we just stick with it (and stick with it, and stick with it) we can effect real change. This is enormously motivating for all of us who are chipping away at our own mountains of misinformation. 3x3 hooray!

    Assessment of Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM) in Patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). Holtzman et al. (2019)

    We should probably see this as the first, preliminary test of the questionnaire, which gives us some interesting data and ideas but was never meant to be used as facts. As far as I could tell the authors make no claims that the data means anything other than that the questionnaire seems to be...

    Sweden: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy for ME/CFS – A feasibility study, 2019, Jonsjö et al

    @mango you probably did the right thing, and in any case no harm done if they turn out to be the same after all:) Be careful and take care of yourself, health comes first.

    Mestinon

    DAY 18: A short update. Dosage increased to 3x 15 mg per day. Increased again to 3x 30 mg from today. Had a little gastrointestinal discomfort when I took it on an empty stomach, but this was easily resolved by taking it with some food. After a few days I could go back to taking it on an empty...
