Stay away from r/cfsme & r/mecfs It's full of misinformation & harmful treatments. (Like brain retraining)(CBT) The moderator deletes all comments negative about his/her beliefs so you will only find positive one sided opinions. This is what brain retraining pages do. Remove anything negative...

I have mild cfs, for 15 years now. Past lyme, Candida or latent EBV (i have high EBV igg, arround 200), may be the probable causes. I also test positive for genetic test HLA-5. (but I dont have any Beçet symptoms) I just started colchicine 0,5mg daily, I feel less fatigued these days but my...

Hi all, I hope this finds you as well as you can be. This is a long post so for those that don't have the energy or want to read a long post, I will get to the main points first. I have been suffering with significant long covid since March 2022 (symptoms below) and have been predominantly...

What do we know about ME and Hypoglycemia? Does ME cause Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)? Does ME crashes immediately drop blood sugar even lower? Do many people have Hypoglycemia and they think it's ME, because the doctors haven't looked at Hypoglycemia and the symptoms are the same in many...

This is a very long paper. The most important part: Excerpt: Discussion: PCS patients with CFS exhibited a more severely impaired retinal microvascular integrity in our cohort. Even though this association was weaker after controlling for confounders, this aligns with recent findings...

The CFS community has a big problem. National Institutes of Health is the major funding body for medical research in the United States. They only fund $15 million per year (frozen) for research on HHV-6 and $9 million per year for research on CFS. The problem is that researcher Bhupesh Prusty...

Does anybody besides me remember this?

First I'd like to say that I'm extremely frustrated at the lack of progress being made in discovering the pathogenesis and effective treatments for SEID (CFS) and now long covid. In my own case, I have a good history of what triggered it. First I contracted EBV then during the convalescent...

Nothing has changed since. Excerpt: By 1987, Kaiser had been to 212 different experts. Her eyesight was fading and she was having a dozen minor seizures every day. She often lacked the strength to stand up. Her concentration and memory had so deteriorated that she couldn't get through a TV...

Abstract The German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Healthcare (IQWiG) recently published its draft report to the government about myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The IQWiG concluded that graded exercise therapy (GET) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)...

I wrote this before I was really far into me/cfs but it deals with emptiness , issues with faith, and depression that are relevant to many people's lives. I am proud of the writing, and think the photography is excellent... I know I should be humble, but I'm humble when it is accurate, like...

31:00 onwards Dr Grubb explains which autoantibodies are found in POTS and suggests they are driven firstly by the innate immune system, including mast cell mediators and other cytokines, which then triggers the adaptive immune system to make autoantibodies . He argues it can't be coincidence...

Hi, does anyone know if there is anywhere in the UK that offers IVIG privately? I'm looking to try it out as a POTS treatment which seems to be autoimmune in my case. It seems it is only offered on the NHS for immune deficiency and, whilst I know i'm immune deficient (low white blood cells and...

I stumbled across this write up, it’s probably old news. But is there any truth to this? exert from article... There is one area, however, that does merit a closer look. And that, believe it or not, is the use of licorice in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). This is a baffling...

Someone who asked me for help recently forwarded me their notice of favorable decision for SSD for ME from an ALJ hearing. He was previously rejected at the earlier stages based on biased SSA but persisted, continued to strengthen his case with a full neuropsychology exam and two day exercise...

So this study has already been posted in the Research section of PR, but the thread has sort of died as it started back in 2013. I am reposting here because it's directly related to mould and mycotoxins and feel it's a useful area of discussion in this area of the site. Here is the link And...

I found some information on genetic mutations that trigger ME when people are exposed to chronic viruses. Previously I shared an article about MTHFR mutations that also do this by impairing folate availability to provide ubiquinol. In this case the proteins made trigger hyper-responsiveness in...

This is probably a first of its kind question. I was taking creatine regularly for last few weeks. I used to take one scoop of the small scoop it comes with. Its probably just 5 grams. It was very helpful for my energy levels. I was cycling for 60 - 90 minutes everyday and also studying. It was...
