Environmental factor or comorbid conditions? I haven't read the paper you linked yet, but I don't know if I'd refer to another disease as an environmental factor. Does something in the environment cause gingivitis, and then gingivitis goes on to cause Alzheimer's? Among the risk factors listed...

Super interesting, thanks!

Does your new version show up when you go to the page? I see it in history, but the page itself is unchanged. I've tried Purge and using another browser.

Holy cow, that's a lot of drugs. There's no way, right? I feel like this has to be poor wording choice. Edit: I assume the "and" is supposed to be "or". And that the physician will decide which to prescribe.

Studies controlling for deconditioning or other confounders Got it started. Not super easy finding studies to add. The one I added so far compares two studies testing muscle acidosis after exercise - one in ME/CFS, one in primary biliary cirrhosis, a condition they say causes a similar level of...

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to add to MEpedia a page which is a repository of ME/CFS studies which had deconditioned controls. This would be a reference of data which has applied another level of due diligence that it truly applies to ME/CFS, and one could have more confidence that it's...

Yeah, that'd be great if that was reality. There's also the potential for subtypes that are permanently switched on though. I imagine it might be possible that something like a stroke permanently destroying a part of the brain could cause an ME/CFS-like illness.

That's interesting.

I think it might be the second because they say this - they expect people to experience PESE during the study.

I admittedly didn't do much digging to verify it, but this video posted by World ME Alliance a few days ago which says there are an estimated 55 million pwME: Though their own website says more like half that number.

What's the issue with SEID? Seems to fit better than the other two.

Yeah, I didn't read it carefully. It seems to have hallucinated the "placeholder" reason as that's not in the cited source.

Wikipedia has a short summary in the Naming section: Or if you're okay with just sending them what an AI said, I think this came out decent, and it also provided some references that might have something good:

Thanks, will check it out when I have more energy! Link to the referenced talk (starts at 17:25)

The previous map was from 2022. I found CDC Long COVID Household Pulse Survey, which is done around monthly, up to last month. These aren't exactly beautifully uniform between months. Flipping through months, I can't visually see any regions or states that are consistent. March 5, 2024 - April...

It at least includes all the author institutions: Link to full computer translated article

Yes, that does make sense, thanks.

This all makes sense and I'm pretty much out of energy to comment on anything, but thank you for your input. Though just to reply to the "temporary remission" part: I've also had "temporary remission" from adderall. Relatedly, anyone with depression can get temporary remission with MDMA. Can...

Cognitive impairment probably. At least if it was only physical fatigue, I could still do online classes, do remote work, or have conversations longer than a few sentences.

All good points, thank you.
