There's a ME conference taking place in Stryn, Norway, 12-13 April.
The theme is "Mysteriet, mytene & status i forskninga." (The mystery, the myths and the state of research..?)
Some very interesting speakers, for example Öystein Fluge, Jörgen Jelstad, Katarina Lien, Ingrid Gurvin Rekeland och Ola Didrik Saugstad.
Today, Tuesday, was for medical and healthcare professionals.
According to the program Fluge was talking about: "ME - an autoimmune disease?", "The background to the current studies", "Summary of results from earlier studies and other research that points in the direction of autoimmunity", "Mechanisms they believe might be involved in the disease profile", "Projects that are based on the biobank in Haukeland", "The hunt for a biomarker".
Rekeland's topics were: "The multi-center clinical study RituxME", "B-cell depletion" and "Randomization and placebo controls". (According to ME-foreningen's Facebook page update she also spoke on the CycloME trial.)
Katarina Lien: "Ergospirometry: What happens to ME patients during physical activity", "Recovery time", "Lactate levels in the muscles", "Could ergospirometry be an objective way of testing if a person has ME or not?".
Saugstad: "New light on ME -- a summary of some of the most recent biomedical research discoveries."
Tomorrow, Wednesday, will be a day of "health politics", and also directed towards NAV (The Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration). Anyone is welcome to attend.
Among the speakers are Saugstad, Jelstad, Fluge, Rekeland and Lien. There will also be a bit about children and young people with ME, about severe ME, and about ME and NAV.
(Big apologies if my translation is rubbish!)

I'd be very very interested to know what they all shared during their talks, and if there are any exciting news
