@JemPD I missed the point you made about proper wording and how it relates to M.E. My Disability Tax Credit renewal is not based on a diagnoses, but how my disability impairment affects my day to day life, so there isn't a specific guideline to M.E.

You could also add that physical energy expenditure negatively affects your cognitive impairment and vice versa. I described this in more detail when I filled out my Disability Tax Credit form and my GP approved it.

Yes but 'brain fog' is not very descriptive. It's a general term. My sister has Hashimoto and says she has 'brain fog' when she eats certain foods. I use the term cognitive impairment which describes having difficulty concentrating/remembering, learning new things and making decisions...

Budding yeast cells with high levels of ATP do not lead to abnormal aggregation of proteins (magenta), while mutant cells with low levels of ATP exhibit clumps of proteins (magenta). Taken together, Takaine et al.’s results suggest that ATP plays a role in stopping proteins from sticking...

Abstract Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) at millimolar levels has recently been implicated in the solubilization of cellular proteins. However, the significance of this high ATP level under physiological conditions and the mechanisms that maintain ATP remain unclear. We herein demonstrated that...

I inhaled a clove cigarette in the early 80s and my head raced. Cloves(eugenol) and help clear respiratory disorders.

The formulation was ChronoMag in the study I posted. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29524192/ Abstract While general recommendations are for 300-mg magnesium intake a day, an advanced low-dose formulation of magnesium chloride, ChronoMag®, was designed to provide 100 mg of magnesium...

Abstract Patients suffering from fibromyalgia often report stress and pain, with both often refractory to usual drug treatment. Magnesium supplementation seems to improve fibromyalgia symptoms, but the level of evidence is still poor. This study is a randomized, controlled, double-blind trial...

Sudden viral onset-->6 months was able to go to school and do some exercise (no PEM) but losing stamina-->'recovered' after 3 months, went back to work-->relapsed less than one month later--> was still able to do some light exercise without delayed typical PEM. My guess is that M.E was...

Abstract Background The clinical course of COVID-19 includes multiple disease phases. Data describing post-hospital discharge outcomes may provide insight into disease course. Studies describing post-hospitalization outcomes of adults following COVID-19 infection are limited to electronic...

Their study aims to investigate circulating microRNA expression in ME/CFS patients before and after a stress challenge that stimulates PEM. The findings highlight the differential expression of eleven microRNAs associated with a physiological response to PEM. I've never experienced pain in 31...

Every FM friend that I've met irl do not experience PEM, and have no clue what I'm talking about when I describe my experience with PEM.

Germline mutations in cellular-energy associated genes have been shown to lead to various monogenic disorders. Notably, mitochondrial disorders often impact skeletal muscle, brain, liver, heart, and kidneys, which are the body’s top energy-consuming organs. However, energy-related dysfunctions...

I was automatically denied Federal disability benefits when I first applied in 1992. The judicator concluded that I was still capable of 'gainful employment", so I decided to call the Ministry of Health and spoke to the judicator who reviewed and denied my claim to ask how she came to her...

The SARS outbreak was almost 20 years ago, but at least they're interested in learning more. Perhaps even go back 70 years and find out that M.E wasn't a mid-century campfire story after all?

The lab tech hooked me up with electrodes and told me to sleep, but when I explained that I needed to take trazodone in order to fall asleep, she told me to 'try to sleep' w/o it. I told her I can not fall asleep at all w/o the meds. She left the room and I stayed awake until 2 a.m, so...

Imagine telling a cardiologist and pulmonologist that you're still suffering from a litany of symptoms, including exhaustion, shortness of breath, headaches, joint pain et and they both rule out other health problems and advise exercising, suggesting that some symptoms may have been a result...

Just watched the CBC (Canada) news this morning and PHAC (Public Health Agency of Canada) are studying how many Canadians have long-Covid. They've stated that there are over 100 symptoms, 'mostly fatigue, anxiety and PTSD". I can see where this is going.

Moved post NIH Launches Clinical Trial of Epstein-Barr-Virus Vaccine The study will enroll 40 healthy volunteer adults ages 18 to 29 years, half of whom have evidence of prior EBV infection and half of whom do not have evidence of prior EBV infection. Participants will be given a series of...
