All of authors are from University of Bristol and include Crawley's mate, George Davey Smith. ME gets mentioned a number of times. Open access at https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-39359-z Starting to build a narrative that our fatigue isn't anything out of the ordinary?

An objective biomarker - gene expression patterns - for pain? Can this be true? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-018-0345-5 (A.B Niculescu et al.) Full text. The cohorts and the scientists are psychiatric patients/psychiatrists but otherwise the study seems to lean more biomedical - not...

I've never had a flu jab my entire life (I'm 56), and don't feel that I've ever gotten the flu. Of course it's difficult to know for sure with M.E because I feel viral-like 80% of the time. Perhaps I get a milder form when exposed but not sure. Researchers at Stanford have discovered a way...

I have just come across the buspirone challenge test, a straightforward blood test for ME/CFS which measures how much of the hormone prolactin is released into the bloodstream when a single dose of the drug buspirone is given orally (buspirone is an anti-anxiety drug). I was so intrigued by...
