Notice about a forthcoming paper: A Proposed Mechanism for ME/CFS Invoking Macrophage Fc-gamma-RI and Interferon Gamma

I think most of us are in agreement that the tin is mislabelled. AFAIR none of diagnostic criteria require muscle pain.

Pain is one of the worst symptoms for me but it never feels like muscle or joint pain. It’s all over pain, as though my body is screaming for something it can’t get. But I know other people get muscle pain and other type of pain, and some get no pain at all. Hopefully Jo’s proposed mechanism will account for all these variations.

 

Can you list some of them?
Worthwhile for those of us who have read it to be told what to “forget”:

 

This is definitely the vibe today! Are we looking at tomorrow now or could it go up any time?

I would hate to think that the Murder University of the Thymus wasn't real...

 

I'd prefer not to revisit the book if I can avoid it.

 

That bad?? lmao

 

Where's the paaaaaaapeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr???

 

Maybe JE meant in a weeks time, time to alter our expectations.

 

Are we nearly there yet? Starting to wonder if somebody has invited the editor out for a beer!

 

It’s 5 pm. I think it’s apéro time!
Maybe tomorrow…

 

They have put out 8 new preprints today.
Maybe one over the eight is too many for their health and safety regulations.

 

Somebody with the initials SW?

 

Or their AI caught fire after trying to process common sense and ME/CFS at the same time.

 

They put them all out this morning and then packed in for the day.

 

To be fair, isn’t Qeios non-profit and has basically zero revenue streams? So it probably relies a lot on volunteers?

 

They have a revenue stream. Authors who want to send stuff to Qeios regularly, as I do, can pay a small monthly charge. It is way less than the page charges from the open access commercial journals (maybe 100 times less per paper). It may be that their business model is not coping though. I am a bit surprised that I have not had an automated message notifying of a delay.

 

I had an acknowledgement. And it clearly isn't just my paper. Nothing was put out for 4 days last week and they normally put something out every day.

 

I hope that this isn't the week that Qeios has chosen to collapse.

Or it's a punishment for ignoring Qeios papers on ME/CFS by other authors?

So while we're waiting--what do forum people think about these?
