You would have thought they would put a description of the bicycle exercise tolerance test (ETT) in the letter, or the link to the questionnaire. Most folks with ME are going to be concerned about the crash following the test and will want to know more details about what the test entails...
Very interesting. We have multiple groups looking at miRNA's in ME/CFS. Maybe something comes of it.

Dr. Maureen Hanson is also looking at EV's as part of her NIH center grant.

Dr. Emma Reinhold wrote the EDS toolkit for the RCGP's and I highly recommend folks read it with a thought on how can we do the same thing for ME!
Things like this are really important as they can be very easily shown to your GP.

My two pennies worth.
Suggestion : There needs to be two documents, one for GP's and one for specialists.
There is no way a GP can navigate the complexity of ME and co-existing conditions without knowledge. The specialists job is to rule out other diseases, look for treatable co-existing or...
Shoot. I cannot see them as I have an ad-blocker too, that I couldn't figure out how to turn off.

It does look an impressive speaker list. I hope they get a good attendance from NIH staffers
I'm a bit surprised that the UK ME/CFS Biobank team are not on the list as they have received significant NIH funding 2013-2021 $500K+ a year...
@Trish. I remember reading a post recently where you were discussing tracking people at the moment they got ill. This video is about one such study.
And this is the paper on it by Broderick et al.

I contacted Marilyn at OMF to let her know the concerns. This was her reply
Yes. We have heard the concern loudly. I appreciate your reaching out trying to help. We are consulting and will be modifying the language. The challenge is for the winning poems being converted into a song and art work...
It sure would be nice if the NHS could do a search of records for ESR data for patients that have an ME/CFS diagnosis. But what I hear from folks in the UK is that the health records are a mess, and tests are not even available for review by patients. ESR patient data must be available somewhere...
