Another possible reason for why the placebo group didn't lose as much weight is that they could have given up after guessing they were not, in fact, getting the drug. Are people who joins in drug trials for weight loss more likely to believe they need the help of a drug to see results, and thus...

To me it's easy enough to explain why you like wholemeal bread, your body enjoys food that contain the nutrients it needs. ;) Very simplified :P Eating nutrient poor diets may lead to increased energy intake as you would need more food to meet your nutrient needs (satiety is not just about...

Not only are these food low in nutrients, they also mess with satiety signals, making it easy to overconsume them.

Scholarships are not that common in Norway, all that would be needed is to find someone willing to supervise a student doing this (and present it as a possible project to a group of students).

I only have it a bit now, previously I could gain ~4-5kg during a crash, which would then disappear. Now maybe two? I've been thinking it has reduced since my muscle mass has decreased (muscles can hold more water than fat), but I don't know. My mother had a friend when she was younger who had...

Putting someone on a reduced calorie diet for over a year does sound like a recipe for becoming fed up with the "treatment". Especially if weight loss is slow, I would not be surprised if motivation to continue the lifestyle change dropped (follow-up every four weeks is pretty good in a clinical...

Very similar to me. Although my cognitive issues have improved while my phyiscal capabilities has declined.

Same.

Am I the only one that finds it a bit hard to define time of onset? I might say a year, but I did not have a sudden onset or any type of illness that I just didn't recover from. It happened gradually, and it might have started before I really noticed it.

I get really frustrated about the accusation towards the Norwegian ME Association, that they (and us members) are close minded, and that patients who are more open to other explanations have nowhere to go and are persecuted and not listened to.

Are you saying you don't get filled with hope reading anecdotes? ;)

A reply to this was posted today "Hvilke pasienter skal man lytte til i den polariserte ME debatten?" Google translate: "Which patients should be listened to in the polarized ME-debate?" Again it starts with the the straw-man argument that it's about those who believe the disease is purely...

The most my rhr has changed during my period is 14. That eats up nearly all of my freedom if I were to follow this. With orthostatic intolerance I don't see this as realistic at all. And as others have mentioned, it's rather optimistic re PEM. As with others, if I have immediate symptoms that...

I guess, to me that is something that comes and goes. Endothelial dysfunction is also associated with metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cardiovascular disease ++. Oxidative stress can be a problem, and the metabolomics study a few years ago found higher levels of free heme (pro-oxidant) in the...

That's the one.

Vegard Wyller has written about this, but I can't remember if it was published in a norwegian journal in norwegian or if it was in english.
