Catastrophizing One's Physical Limitations?
Yeah, and I hope I'm not coming across as authoritative about pushing through pain. Just sharing what my physical therapists say about it, as well as my own experiences. It might be exactly the wrong thing for some people. I've actually been using a gravity-inversion table several times a day...- Paw

End ME/CFS Severe Patient Study Turns to the Mitochondria
Yeah, that'll be interesting. The notes on my MRI said my brain was generally unremarkable for my age. I thought for sure it was much more remarkable than that.- Paw

Catastrophizing One's Physical Limitations?
Here's a new weird little study. Researchers learned that people with FM who report higher levels of pain and fatigue are more likely to perceive themselves as less functional in life. Obviously, the results of the study are underwhelming. What caught my eye was the researchers' insistence on...- Paw

End ME/CFS Severe Patient Study Turns to the Mitochondria
For example, I have fairly sweeping neuropathies (autonomic, small-fiber, peripheral), which my neurologist thinks were responsible for nearly all my long-term symptoms, decades before I got more systemically sick. If, for years, I was chronically under-rested (and suffering from early FM) but...- Paw

End ME/CFS Severe Patient Study Turns to the Mitochondria
No, I was referring to PTSD, but I'm not invested enough in the theory to retrace all my readings (at this point theories are mainly all we have). I just find the comparison resonates interestingly with my own experiences. But your argument for distancing psychological stress from causation is...- Paw

End ME/CFS Severe Patient Study Turns to the Mitochondria
This rings true with me too, Tony. I have a hard time drawing clear lines between psychic stress and physiological stress. I know some forms of our illnesses are probably solely physiological in cause (e.g. from viruses), but I'll bet often it's from a complexity of triggers and...- Paw

End ME/CFS Severe Patient Study Turns to the Mitochondria
I might not have been clear. I was speaking mainly symptomatically. You can easily google all sorts of ways the two overlap, but I've also seen some theories that explicitly say the underlying mechanics of PTSD often seem to function just like in someone with both ME and FM (but I don't have...- Paw

End ME/CFS Severe Patient Study Turns to the Mitochondria
I have no answer to your great question, but research into PTSD may provide clues. Seems that something can break after a certain amount of a particular type of sustained stress. And PTSD is often described as nearly identical to the ME family of disorders.- Paw
