    CFIDS Stages A B C D

    All I can see in my history that relates to it was, as @alex3619 says, notes from a talk given by Dr. Cheney in 2001. The site I had been browsing it o is not online right now, so here is a prohealth link to the same content. http://www.prohealth.com/library/showarticle.cfm?libid=8901

    CFIDS Stages A B C D

    I think I may have seen something similar whilst doing research on an unrelated facet of the illness, I will look through my history and see if I can turn up what I saw, though I don't think it is quite what you are referring to, @Intignia

    There was some encouragement of my writing on my intro thread, so I thought I would share a short story I wrote a while ago. I have also included a couple of links to images I created, just because I am feeling brave. Second ever animation: http://i.imgur.com/JDh5dK0.gifv A speculative house...

    Coyne - What it takes for Queen Mary to declare a request for scientific data “vexatious”

    I was considering (if I can make myself) writing an article about that, in a sense. The issue being for me at the moment, I haven't really gone public about my illness, that may or may not be me/cfs but is on the spectrum (according to the guy I saw about it anyway). My long time pre existing...

    Maternal Childhood Trauma and Placental-Fetal Stress Physiology

    I don't know if it panned out, and my information may be out of date by now, but I think that in 2004/2005 sort of time it was announced that ovaries replenished eggs in most mammals to account for loss, damage, destruction, and natural degradation, making use of stem cells found in the ovary...

    Maternal Childhood Trauma and Placental-Fetal Stress Physiology

    Maternal Childhood Trauma and Placental-Fetal Stress Physiology

    All I can think of seeing this is the idea in this paper: http://archpsyc.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleID=1211984 combined with known epigenetic transmission issues caused by stress (all I can remember for that one is the two studies regarding stress during male sperm production and...

    DIY Poor man's Tilt table test (PMTTT) for OI, POTS and NMH

    I know for a fact I fidgeted, shivered, wretched, burped, coughed, etc I feel so much worse after doing this and was feeling very faint by the end of it, as well as more nauseated and with awful vissual distortions, muscle weakness, and a weird headache in the back of my head. My brain fog (30...
