Could a Rare Autoimmune Disease Help Explain the Autonomic Issues in ME/CFS, POTS and Fibromyalgia?
Autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy is a very rare disease. So why feature it in a blog on chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia (FM), and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)? Because it could provide a preview of the future. All these diseases...
RAS and Bradykinin: Where COVID-19 and ME/CFS Meet?
The Paradox An earlier blog focused on the “renin-aldosterone paradox” in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) regulates blood volume and a whole bunch of...
The Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone Paradox in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and POTS
The first of two of three blogs exploring the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in ME/CFS and COVID-19. Warning – this blog is complex… Back in 1997, they had a couple of important things right – orthostatic intolerance (OI) is basically caused by...
The Brain Fog in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Plus Even Mini Tilt Table Tests Wrack the Severely Ill
People with chronic fatigue syndrome but have not been diagnosed with orthostatic intolerance still have reduced blood flows to the brain during a tilt table test and suffer cognitively afterwards. People with severe ME/CFS only need to be tilted up a bit to suffer severe declines in blood flows to the brain.
Low Brain Blood Flows and Orthostatic Intolerance Ubiquitous in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
Low brain blood flows and orthostatic intolerance; e.g. increased symptoms when standing or standing were found in virtually all chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) patients in this large study.StudyME
