Background Patients with fibromyalgia (FM) exhibit low peak oxygen uptake ( ˙VO2peak). We aimed to detect the contribution of cardiac output to ( ˙Q) and arteriovenous oxygen difference [C(a-v)O2] to ˙VO2 from rest to peak exercise in patients with FM. Methods Thirty-five women with FM, aged...

Abstract Post-infectious fatigue is a common complication that can lead to decreased physical efficiency, depression, and impaired quality of life. Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota has been proposed as a contributing factor, as the gut–brain axis plays an important role in regulating physical...

"viral operational taxonomic unit" - now you know as much as I do!

From the discussion, "Just as with Eskimos who can differentiate multiple varieties of snow, patients with ME/CFS can differentiate in more sophisticated ways subtle frequency and severity differences in symptoms that are not noticed among those in the non-symptomatic, healthy population." Not...

Objective Exercise is recommended as a main treatment in fibromyalgia. However, many people have limited exercise tolerance and report exacerbated pain and fatigue during and following a bout of exercise. This study examined the local and systemic change in perceived pain and fatigue during...

Abstract Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ Chronic Fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex, debilitating, long-term illness without a diagnostic biomarker. ME/CFS patients share overlapping symptoms with long COVID patients, an observation which has strengthened the infectious origin hypothesis of...
