I got ill 2001, and after I had overcome EBV and was not too bad I got worse again over the next years, due to food (I didn´t look at that). Since 2004 I got slowly better, due to change of food (again by accident) but only after having stopped drinking tea (rich on manganese) and picked up coffee instead in 2007/8 I reached an alomst healthy state in 2009 (by accident again). 2010 I detoriated due to nutrition (once more by accident). Only 2015 I got aware of the dependence to intake of mangase.What do you mean by this part:
(I was also fine enough for two years in between):
I also think that the delayed appearance of worsening after exertion - on a quite regular basis - would only allow for an interpretation of some information processing.
Nope. And also, there really is no such thing as “software “ in the body, unless you want to get all Cartesian.In my opinion it must be a software problem.
I agree that the immunesystem is utterly complex, but why would the immunesystem strictly iterate a behaviour?
can be made to happen with more aggressive protest actions.
I read that cerebral mtDNA is slightly different from DNA elsewhere in the body, which could explain why some people can have cerebral ME symptoms without symptoms in the rest of their body.
Their obbligation is knowing the dangers of antibiotics and warning for giving them, and even worse in cases like mine when they have been giving me wrong antibiotics for years for the wrong pathogen thats why they never worked and had to give them again to me.Well, the doctors didn't knowingly cause your disease. The cause of ME might be damaged DNA, or normal DNA in a pattern that makes us susceptible to switching into this abnormal state. The doctor who gave me the tetanus booster may have unknowingly triggered my ME, but I think the cause (susceptibility) was there already.
Once the researchers figure out what causes ME, maybe they can come up with a test for susceptibility to develop it, and warn people about what to avoid.
