re probably salivary glands, that's a joke. As a teen I had stones in my salivary glands, which were severely acting up every time I ate acidic food- not the same thing and not the same location. (My salivary glands were removed).

this is another topic, but locally we are being told to not use emergency rooms for things that could be dealt with in primary care. The problem is that oftentimes, the family practitioner is out of reach (appointment weeks away) and there is no intermediate for semi-urgent matters (say...

Agreed. Some like me have sore lymph nodes, but not significantly swollen enough for a physician to be alarmed or even noticing

research is looking at proteomics, metabolomics and entire lymphocyte populations before and after exercise. This is where we will get answers.

Just thought I'd share here. Got the bivalent booster some 2.5 days ago and have had fevers and chills, sweats, feeling drunk and foggy, mild chest pain, increased POTS symptoms, some shortness of breath on walking that I did not have pre vaccine. None of that happened with my 2 vaccines and...

On the good news side of things, there are no priorities surrounding psycho-social, rehab and soft targets. Patients have spoken, biological studies are needed and overdue. I hope that the funders of research will listen and direct funding for advancement of biomedical knowledge, and starve...

Oy, oy, oy! Did the journal receive a bribe to publish this paper?

Hey Brian, thank you for the visit! When you say he found "it" in about 10 ME patients, could you estimate out of how many total? just a ballpark ;-)

I made the comment that I recognized that Fitbits can be inaccurate, and the example I gave her was simply riding my scooter on the sidewalk, with the Fitbit recording steps for each cracks of the side walk. It prompted her to bring up that they are working (or already have) an ankle device...

I attended. You should be sent link to recording.Only 8 attended. They were set up to do CPET but they had trouble with their machine and had to abandon testings. She mentioned that CPET testing would have been great but you need to be set up with appropriate staffing that has expertise and know...

Unfortunate timing to call for attention on the same day that the media and honestly most of the planet will focus on London for the late Queen's funerals.

thank you for explaining, @Jonathan Edwards, that is very kind.

but is it sustainable?

I do not believe that DeMeirleir made mention as of whether he has conflicts of interests or not. I am not sure whether he has shares, owns or is an associate of Red Labs, which has a lab both in Belgium and conveniently in Reno Nevada where he works too. Red Labs' website does not disclose who...

To be fair we have not listened to Dr Bateman while she explained her slide. I am not pro-BPS not one bit, but I know that Dr Bateman is an ally. Also I know that OMF does not flirt with BPS and who they invite to share at their meeting does not necessarily represent who they are. Note that the...

Remember that Rituximab eliminates CD-20 B-cells and not plasma cells and other cells which can be a driver to inflammation and pathogenic mechanism of ME. We have yet to find what pathway to disease is wrong. We are still unfortunately in the early days of finding out. P.S. Willing to stand...

Anxiety and Type A personality, really?

Full title: A drug free solution for improving the quality of life of fibromyalgia patients (Fibrepik): study protocol of a multicenter, randomized, controlled effectiveness trial This is a study protocol about the use of a device and coaching. Abstract: Background Fibromyalgia is a form...

what kills me is that since FM is so prevalent (5% of population, mostly women, but perhaps more men with the loosening of the definition), where are the physicians, the psychologists, the allied health care workers (physiology, OT, nurses) with fibromyalgia and why is no one talking back?
