    Painkiller effectiveness for people with ME/CFS

    ...good for headaches depending on the type of headache. Asprin meh, prefer ibuprofen. Having trialled Sumatriptan I found it is good for migraine, but it causes pretty bad joint pain which is probably a bad omen for me but don't think that's MECFS related because as JE has said we don't...

    Painkiller effectiveness for people with ME/CFS

    ...helps me sleep better, but it upsets my stomach so I take it rarely. I used to take an extremely overpriced product called Migralex for migraines and anticipatory next day delayed PEM migraines which worked if the trigger wasn’t too severe. Migralex went out of business many years ago...

    Is PEM triggered by physical exertion the same as worsening triggered by sensory stimuli, cognitive exertion or emotions? What are the implications?

    @Trish has basically written my submission for me! The only differences are that my response to physical exertion isn't as severe (I need to rest but not be in bed), and I've never had a migraine.

    Is PEM triggered by physical exertion the same as worsening triggered by sensory stimuli, cognitive exertion or emotions? What are the implications?

    Perhaps imagine being hungover, jet lagged and having the flu or a migraine, and going on the dodge-ems, but the dodge-ems are a on fast-forward and the music is loud and obnoxious.

    Hypothalamus Connectivity in Adolescent Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 2024, Byrne et al.

    ...enough to only the hypothalamus bits that potential increased load on the executive function from dealing with the equivalent of a migraine/sensory could impact I'm a bit intrigued because really surely the only way you can actually conclude something is related to sleep, circadian rhythm...

    The Concept of ME/CFS

    ...and faded as a term too. Many say you can tell a pwme by their eyes and I think that's generally true (like someone who has flu and a migraine trying to hide it at a job interview), over the assumption someone will always be walking slowly or seem sleepy. I was thinking on the FM inclusion...

    Chronic Overlapping Pain Conditions in people with [ME/CFS]: a sample from the Multi-site Clinical Assessment of ME/CFS (MCAM) study, 2024, Fall et al

    ...2020, who completed the baseline assessment (595 ME/CFS and 328 healthy controls (HC)). COPCs included chronic low back pain (cLBP), chronic migraine/headache (cMHA), fibromyalgia (FM), interstitial cystitis/irritable bladder (IC/IB), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), temporomandibular disorder...

    Lack of fever during acute infections

    ...time. I went back to school in the autumn term - weaker but largely recovered. And then I developed slowly other symptoms, starting with migraine and chronic fungal infections, recurrent tonsillitis, some PEM, variable weakness etc over time. Until late 20s when I collapsed. Since that...

    Use of antidepressants for/with ME/CFS?

    It has been suggested that the tricyclic clomipramine is useful for treating hyperacusis. Has anyone else noticed tricyclics affecting sensitivity to sound (or other sensitivities)? Has anyone experience specifically with clomipramine? @wastwater posted a link to an article about clomipramine...

    Immunometabolic changes and potential biomarkers in CFS peripheral immune cells revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing, 2024, Sun et al

    The Grimson paper is much better powered (n~30 per group I believe compared to n~4 here). The two papers disagree in the abundances of immune cells types. This threads paper reports significantly decreased monocyte and NK cell abundances and increased T cell abundance. Grimson et al report...

    Post COVID Migraine in a Six Day Cycle

    Thanks for posting Sasha and for reading. :) It is comforting to know its not just me but sorry to hear you have similar migraines of course and for the pain you also suffer :hug: for which I offer my commiserations. I ramble, sorry, confuse myself more often than not, so I try not to be too...

    Post COVID Migraine in a Six Day Cycle

    I also have migraines on what appears to be normally roughly a weekly a cycle (three days on, some days off), but have managed to mitigate it somewhat by twice-daily Epsom salt footbaths (oral magnesium doesn't seem to do anything for me, possibly for reasons of poor GI absorption). Severity has...

    Immunometabolic changes and potential biomarkers in CFS peripheral immune cells revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing, 2024, Sun et al

    Does anyone know how this compares with the much larger and probably more rigourous study by Andrew Gelman(?) in the Maureen Hansen group? I seem to remember that one came out with a surprising finding it it was all about monocytes. Sorry, I’ve got a migraine, no chance of link

    Use of antidepressants for/with ME/CFS?

    I've been taking 10mg amitriptyline for a couple of years - it was suggested by a neurologist to reduce sound and touch hypersensitivity and migraine-like symptoms, and I think it has helped somewhat with that. But I'd like to try coming off it now. Not sure whether I'd need to taper off from...

    Creatively visualising PEM and fatigue

    ...such that you are exhausted at first then because more symptoms hit a bit later you assume you caught something. the other is the classic migraine every Friday - which is probably PEM and some sort of just cumulative exhaustion and by Friday you’ve either had enough control you scrape...

    Needing to lie flat

    I am a lie down flat type. Mostly it is because I feel bad but lying flat also sometimes moderates pain or fatigue levels. Measuring "time spent lying flat" would be a interesting stat. I suspect most of our cases are complex enough that it be difficult to say this flat lying measurement is...
