Abstract Background The aim of this study was to verify whether the mean percentage of oxygen use in the aerobic-anaerobic transition phase or isocapnic buffering (IB) was lower in women with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) compared to healthy women, and if this variable could be used as a...

Workwell is now offering EEG brain scans pre/post CPET to assess cognitive function in response to exertion.

The two tests sites I see on the forum were a bit of a journey, we live in TN. I dug around the internet and found a company that sells the test equipment. I emailed them thinking they would at least know who has the equipment, and that may be a good way to find one near you. A very...

Hope this is the right subforum to post this on! Summary of Events: I live in LA County and I have Kaiser. I went to a Cardiologist to discuss my POTS and ME/CFS care. I requested a two day CPET because of two reasons: it could inform my symptom management by giving me more exact pacing...

Curious if anyone on here has got a cardio pulmonary exercise test done and how intense you may have found it and if it helped you with disability? Thank You

Hi folks, We're starting the process of filing for disability through our private disability insurance provider (and social security, but that's a different story right now). A local lawyer who we probably won't be using recommended Work Well Foundation, but others have since recommended a local...

I recently saw Dr. Systrom at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and he suggested having an advanced CPET (the kind where they put in a couple of catheters before you exercise). Have any of you ever had this test before? What did it feel like? How did it go? Did you recover easily? Did...

I received my test results. It's been almost 2 weeks now and I am still not recovered. Not bedbound but can't do much at all. I am dizzy pretty much all day, and weak and get exhausted faster. Here is the conclusion of the report which I haven't had the chance to discuss with my doctor yet...

This isn't about ME, but some of the patients had POTS, and this is discussed in the context of exercise testing. Thought the results might be of interest to some here. I have pulled out one of the relevant sections and quoted it (below the abstract)...
