Sadly there are a very high percentage of 'scientific' papers published that are rubbish. A few people claim to be trying to weed them out.

I'm not necessarily saying that there is nothing to be said for cell cultures, just that using the wrong species gives the right answer so rarely that it's really not worth doing. It just means a huge amount of suffering. The animals are almost always killed, and large numbers are used in...

Data science company IQuity has announced the launch of a new blood test called IsolateFibromyalgia, which uses RNA gene expression analysis to diagnose fibromyalgia, according to a press release. 'RNA analysis is a cutting-edge tool for doctors that has great potential in the field of medical...

"The researchers conducted their study in cell cultures and experimental models that had been genetically modified to lose the expression of GPS2." Just want to point out that the 'experimental models' are mice, which bear little resemblance to humans, especially if they have been genetically...

Could it just mean that the cells are older than usual?

I take Melatonin every 2 nights (3 mg, was 5 mg) but it doesn't always work. Last night for example I woke about 0400, after going to sleep about 2230-2300. In the early days I slept longer (as I believe research has shown), but now my 'ideal' seems to be about 7-8 hrs. I have very rarely been...

Yes - it works now.

Brilliant, Sally/@Keela Too. Just want to say that the link https://www.slideshare.net/SallyBurch/heart-rate-monitoring-and-nice-guideline-for-me doesn't seem to work.

I think I spent quite a lot of time outside both in good and bad weather throughout my life, including since I got ME. I used to get very sunburned/tanned, and still do a bit, but can't tolerate heat (or cold) so much now.

Why do we know so little about ME? TV journalist Gary Burgess was diagnosed with ME late last year and started a blog on the illness. He is guest editing on BBC Radio 5 live, asking why so little is known about an illness which affects so many. Rest at...

Have any studies been done that find pwME look about 10 years YOUNGER than their age?

I agree. This message that I have posted elsewhere: https://www.s4me.info/threads/rethinking-the-treatment-of-chronic-fatigue-syndrome%E2%80%94a-reanalysis-and-evaluation-of-findings-from-a-recent-major-trial-of-graded-exercise-and-cbt.2282/#post-41444 is an example of what I wrote to AfME -...

Not to mention 20 years of working life to ME...

I've had a reply from Caroline Lucas. "Thank you for your email. I am very sorry to hear that you suffer from ME. I want to support those with ME in the battle to increase understanding of the causes of this debilitating condition. I have been very interested to read articles like this one...

I really don't know - but I don't know very much at the moment! You may find some info in my blog on PR: http://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?blog/mesci.6237/ I wrote it when I was more intelligent.

This is very unlikely to have any relevance to humans. Research on mice is extremely preliminary and in my view pointless. Believe me, I have studied it (when I was able).
