Background: The Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AIWS) is a transient neurological disturbance characterized by sensory distortions most frequently associated with migraine in adults. Some lines of evidence suggest that AIWS and migraine might share common pathophysiological mechanisms, therefore...

I'm in the relapsing remitting subgroup. I felt recovered after resting for 9 months during PVFS, but after less than a month of returning to work, I could no longer stand upright (not OI) or walk a straight line. Rested for the following 5.5 years and started feeling 90% improvement...

Introduction: Persistent symptoms after COVID-19 infection (“long COVID”) negatively affects almost half of COVID-19 survivors. Despite its prevalence, its pathophysiology is poorly understood, with multiple host systems likely affected. Here, we followed patients from hospital to discharge and...

Years ago my B12 level was just above 200 but my GP didn't feel it was serious even after I told her my tongue felt numb. I took 1000 mcg methylcobalamin supplements for 6 months and the numbness/tingling disappeared. I got retested 6 months later and the receptionist called to tell me...

“Will the gut microbiome also influence reactivation of herpes simplex virus, shingles, and other latent viruses that cause tumors? We don’t know, but there’s a pretty good track record that microbes can influence certain bacterial and fungal pathogens. That may be something to explore as well,”...

Abstract Germ-free (GF) mice, which are depleted of their resident microbiota, are the gold standard for exploring the role of the microbiome in health and disease; however, they are of limited value in the study of human-specific pathogens because they do not support their replication. Here...
