> The difference is that exercise is thought to help with those conditions and exacerbates ME/CFS It's proven to be the case. A repeat cardiopulmonary exercise (2-day CPET) is currently the only widely replicated…
There is no evidence for functional neurological disorder, it is simply a hypothesis. As a diagnostic category it is essentially a "god of the gaps" construct. Remember also that the name is a re-branding of what used…
I understand there is an interesting back-story to this paper that will be published in the Washington Post next week. If the findings are replicated (they look promising) we will owe a debt to the patients involved, as…
I agree it's hard to speculate: perhaps malnutrition and cardiac failure; maybe sepsis. Here are some relevant links — Life-Threatening Malnutrition in Very Severe ME/CFS (2021)…
While long Covid is an encompassing term, there is symptom overlap between long COVID and ME/CFS. Around 50% of people with long COVID meet the criteria for a diagnosis of ME/CFS.…
Eg if you're trying to shout over the wind.
There's a similar issue in medical imaging, when oriented with the patient "facing you". Then my left is patient right and vice versa. This is why in the days of processed x-ray films, TV shows would more commonly hang…
This is very sad to see and I wish Dianna and her family the very best for her recovery. I'm into year three of long COVID (ME/CFS) and was fortunate to not reach this level of severity, and to have improved slowly with…
