Women are more likely to wait longer for a health diagnosis and to be told it’s ‘all in their heads’. That can be lethal: diagnostic errors cause 40,000-80,000 deaths in the US alone. I am sure patients with #MECFS can relate with this! https://t.co/imCTTYAzoM
T cell clonal expansion
Remarkable finding of #MarkDavis in #MECFS-patients that shows immune reaction similar to other diseases like #MS & #Lyme
New PhD student of @EdinburghUni Prof. Pointing will keep track of Davis' important finding

Excellent presentation on Mast Cells from Prof Theoharides. Huge amount of information for those interested which he says will be available from the website https://t.co/3nsIahxgj4 in about a week #IIMEC13
Hot areas in #MECFS research. Webinar by Anthony L Komaroff, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Areas covered are brain and CNS, post-exertional malaise, immune system, energy metabolism, gene structure and gene expression, and microbiome.

OMF received a new $1 million anonymous pledge to escalate Ron Davis’s systems biology approach with Robert Phair, PhD, at Stanford's ME/CFS Collaborative Research Center. This will expand their "metabolic trap” hypothesis research. More on the project: https://t.co/LJgFolXFeZ
Hører rykter om et nytt innslag på tv2-nyhetene i kveld om ME og helseministeren @BentHHoyre vil stille og. Vi trenger handling nå, ikke bare ord. @erna_solberg
This is what 99% of the 1 million people with ME in the US have to go through. There is no real medical care. Imagine if we told people with cancer or MS to just “go home and wait it out.” https://t.co/gHyaPwXESg
Antivirals in the treatment of #MECFS and #Fibromyalgia remains controversial
This doubleblind/placebo trial suggests antiviral treatment for #fibromyalgia improves symptoms of #pain and fatigue
Unfortunately no measurements of any viruses were performed
