Epidemiology of ICF from Wikipedia: "Fatigue is common in the general population and often caused by overwork, too much activity or a specific illness or disease. Around 20% of patients who visit their clinician report fatigue.[1] Prolonged fatigue is fatigue that persists for more than a...

I thought there should be a thread to discuss chronic fatigue without the other symptoms of ME, but which has no apparent cause. How prevalent is this? How many people are bedbound with severe fatigue, having to hear people say they are depressed or lazy because all their blood work is fine...

I emailed Nancy Klimas about this "exertion causes viral replication causes PEM symptoms hypothesis", and her response: "Also in exercise the immune system activates, which could trigger viral expression as well. We all focus on herpes family viruses but not nearly enough on the rest. New...

Oh right, twice a day. That is a challenge. Maybe they can make everyone take two capsules a day, for Truvada one would be placebo. Though a curious participant probably wouldn't have a hard time figuring out the capsules are different.

Inclusion criteria requires PEM (assessed with DePaul PEM questionnaire) ----- Inclusion Criteria: Exclusion Criteria:

Can't they just make a bigger capsule with inert filler for the smaller dosage? (Just guessing, no idea if that is common practice.)

Brief Summary The trial will test if two repurposed HIV antivirals can reduce symptom burden in adult participants with Long Covid compared to placebo. Viral infection and viral reactivation have been documented in Long Covid. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive antivirals, TDF...

That's awesome, well done! Edit: I hope next time they don't make the timer enormous and the video feeds tiny again.

I'm not sure if there are some preliminary results planned to be released, but they pushed study completion back a year to August 2025. From their FAQ: "DecodeME will now be completed before August of 2025 – the results will be released as soon as possible before this date." Blog with details...

One thing is that animations are amazing for helping me quickly and easily understand and remember things. If I can get a visual of a little T-cell bouncing around, doing whatever it does and showing how it interacts with other cells (little faces on the cells welcome but not necessary), that...

Thanks! I just signed up for that coursera course. I was worried because it was saying at least $50 to take it, but looks like it's free if you don't want a certificate.

For better or worse, the Ninja Nerd channel replied about ME/CFS: "Thanks so much for reaching out to Ninja Nerd. We completely agree with you! We are hoping to address these topics in our updated Neurology section. We plan on releasing this in the coming months. Thanks and we wish you all the...

Yeah, looks like a typo. That term doesn't appear in the paper or in Google (except one result that also looks like a typo).

Is there any visual media you'd recommend? I was originally looking to try to understand the basics of the immune system - T-cells, B-cells, NK, etc. And I'm interested in digging into the mitochondrial energy cycles as well.

Yeah, was probably rash of me to request they cover ME. For me personally, this is about the limit of what my brain can handle. I've tried reading through textbooks, and can barely do a page a day at best.
