Autism presents differently in females and support services are only now getting to grips with this- very slowly. (similar to how females present differently with heart attacks etc - the whole gender ratio may be changing as more research becomes gender balanced) The male /female ratio may be...

Thread split from “Graded exercise therapy: Chronic fatigue syndrome” by The HANDI Working Group (2019) Who comprise the HANDI group and what are their interests. Interesting re timing of this piece

Ironic that the first item on the "most popular" links on the right hand side of the article page is Why a Gaslighting/Narcissist Relationship Is So Devastating?

Systems and maths and knowledge of ME - few and far between . off top of my head - Gordon Broderick who has worked with Klimas and Craig Robertson who works with Myhill ( his premise on mathematical catastrophe theory as applied to ME is kind of like a bistability switch)

thank you

Yes. When energy is low your body adapts to try and enable you to continue functioning. My daughter's s posture and gait changes when exhausted or in PEM.

Has something like this not been done for GWI? Broderick is known for in depth " fancy math" Otherwise, outwith psychiatric conditions, my guess would be some of the established/ better funded research diseases - cancer/ arthritis/ alzheimers and perhaps epilepsy?

South Ayrshire in Scotland . Forwarded to a mum struggling to get appropriate provision to use at a meeting over the summer in another Scottish Council area.

I think a true Irish Guinness might just touch on the depth and density of the froth......

Perhaps @PhysiosforME would be interested in this. Not exactly detached, but if looking to understand and reframe support it might be a worthwhile exercise. You have to both know and understand what doesn't t work and why before you can offer anything effective Note the ecent paediatric...

our last hair test had high mercury and aluminium - better ratios of calcium/ potassium etc; my assumption was that improving methylation had released some of these from tissues - perhaps selenium is also playing a part.

Scroll down to the paragraph immediately above " a common theme" near the end. High mercury and uranium due to low selenium https://www.healthrising.org/blog/2019/04/15/nih-chronic-fatigue-lipkin-davis-prusty-oh/

Sorry @DokaGirl , I missed this reply. From memory he has recently said that they have found higher levels of mercury in ME patients. I'll try and find a link

Interesting stuff eta our paediatrician thought mito diseases only applied to tiny babies....
