Keynote Talk: David Systrom – Pathophysiology of exercise intolerance in ME/CFS & Long COVID (Text in parentheses was not part of the talk and was added by me). David Systrom started off his long and stimulating keynote talk, “Keynote: Pathophysiology...
New MRI technique reveals the oxygen from the lungs is having trouble getting through to the small blood vessels in long COVID. It could explain shortness of breath and exercise problems in long COVID and possibly ME/CFS. The Breathing-Oxygen series continues on...
It was a small study, but small studies done in the right hands and pursued vigorously enough can make a real difference. Plus, there’s nothing like really digging into the brain – and this took actual digging – to learn what the SARS-CoV-2 virus is...
In part II of a series of blogs on breathing and oxygen utilization, a long COVID exercise study suggests that dysfunctional breathing patterns may help explain the exercise intolerance found. A recent blog focused on a large CDC exercise study revealed that problems...
A large CDC exercise study highlights breathing abnormalities in ME/CFS – but points a finger at the muscles. Part one of a series on breathing and oxygenation in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and long COVID focuses on a large study that prompted a...
Mestinon moves the needle on ME/CFS in unusual one-shot exercise study This is the most unusual clinical trial/study that I’ve come across. Too short to be a full-blown clinical trial, it was essentially a short-term test of the idea that problems with...
