I was thinking about my uncommon (rare? very rare?) lack of physical limitations from ME. Some theories about ME's physical limitations involve reduced blood flow (RBCs sticky or more rigid). I have the thalassemia trait, meaning that my RBCs are runty and malformed. Maybe they flow easier? So, does anyone else here have the thalassemia trait and ME-caused physical limitations (strength, stamina)?

Scientific discoveries come from asking questions, so the more the better.

If you have some other RBC size abnormality, you can comment on that. Maybe there's a trait with oversized RBCs and those people have severe physical limitations.
