Are PWME at greater risk of cardiovascular disease & diabetes? If so, what can we do about it?

Thank you @ChrisH

It's been helpful to hear from someone who has gone through the experience. Good wishes.

"The findings that lower CoQ10 is an independent predictor of chronic heart failure (CHF) and mortality due to CHF may explain previous reports that the mean age of ME/CFS patients dying from CHF is 25 years younger than the age of those dying from CHF in the general population."

Should I be taking CoQ10 then? I think I should find out more about it

My best friend who suffered from M.E passed away last year after an 18 year battle. He predicted he would die soon.

He developed t2 diabetes and autonomic/heart related symptoms. He was just 5 days shy of seeing a cardiologist rec'd by Dr.Chia, but it was too late. He had a genetic predisposition for heart issues. He was 53.

I'm very sorry to hear this, @Mij.
