Damaged Small Nerve Fibers May be Causing Energy Problems in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
Invasive exercise study uncovers two different kinds of chronic fatigue syndrome. One is characterized by low heart outputs associated with reduced preload and blood pooling. The other is probably caused by shunts which propel blood away from the muscles. Approximately 30% of ME/CFS patients have small fiber neuropathy as well. Deconditioning is not causing the abnormalities found.
How Hannah Finally, Finally Learned How to Pace – and How it Helped
How a person with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) improved their health and quality of life by pacing using heart rate and heart rate variability monitoringLong-Term Saline Use Improves Cardiovascular Functioning in ME/CFS: A Workwell Case Report
The exercise physiologists at the Workwell Foundation are pretty darn good at providing thought provoking case reports. A couple of years ago, a Workwell case report indicated that a very ill ME/CFS patient was able, using Workwell’s heart rate-based exercise...
A Blood Test for Low Energy Production? Intensive Exercise Study Provides New Insights
Exercise affects far more of the body than expected. A blood test that predicts aerobic functioning and other insights from an intensive exercise study could ultimately help explain chronic fatigue syndrome.
Poor Oxygen Extraction is Contributing to Exercise Intolerance in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
Poor oxygen uptake from the red blood cells could help explain the exercise issues in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Mitochondrial problems or hyperventilation contribute to the oxygen uptake problem.Lives Interrupted Latest Story
