Abstract
Many studies of patients with long-standing chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) have found alterations to the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, including mild hypocortisolism, heightened negative feedback and blunted responses to challenge. However, recent prospective studies of...

The Link Between Empty Sella Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: The Role of Increased Cerebrospinal Fluid Pressure
Abstract:
The etiopathogenesis of fibromyalgia (FM) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is not yet elucidated...
Highlights
•
Hair cortisone significantly increased by 23% in response to the COVID-19 pandemic
•
Stress at the start of the pandemic associated with greater increases in cortisol
•
Increased cortisone more likely in people with previous mental health difficulties

Abstract
Kindling might represent a heuristic model for understanding the etiology of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Kindling occurs when an organism is exposed repeatedly to an initially sub-threshold stimulus resulting in hypersensitivity and spontaneous...

Hypothesis
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disease now well-documented as having arisen commonly from a viral infection, but also from other external stressors, like exposure to agricultural...
Abstract
Objective:
Stress system dysregulation is considered to have an important role in the aetiology of paediatric functional neurological (conversion) disorder. This study examined salivary cortisol and α-amylase awakening responses in children with functional neurological disorder to...

Abstract
Context
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a severe chronic illness which reduces the quality of life. A potential role of neuroendocrine autoimmune dysfunction has been hypothesized.
Objective
To investigate the occurrence of anti-pituitary (APA) and...
