    Resource Canadian ME/FM Friendly Doctors

    Wow. What a pathetically small list. I am in big trouble, like so many of us, having gone through a major crash that does not seem to be letting up. and I have no doctor now and no where to turn to. I was very fortunate in the past to be one of the few Canadians to have seen both Dr.Alison...

    Medscape Rocks the IACFS/ME Conference

    The articles are all good and a big step forward but sadly very few people appear to be reading them. There are only 19 comments in the first article and so far only 1 comment in the last article. I subscribe to Medscape and read a lot of articles about other diseases and there will often be...

    Finding a mold free house (????)

    I possibly need to find a mold free house. The problem is that I am not totally sure that mold is the problem so would hate to go through the extreme measures of moving and then find that I feel the same. I have thought about getting myself tested for toxins to mold but not sure how accurate...

    NIH Stumbles: Asks ME/CFS Denier to Speak on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

    I am beyond furious after hearing about this. And yes, it does make me wonder if Shorter is somehow behind the rejected CIHR recently. I had forgotten about him--or perhaps my brain purposely put him in the garbage bin where he belongs--but now that I have to think about him again I would like...

    IACFS/ME Conference Brings the Goods: Last Days for Discounts

    Thanks Cort for getting me excited about this again. I had booked plane tickets months ago planning to attend ( from Ottawa Canada) but then saw the agenda and was a bit discouraged since, as you mentioned, a few of the big names that I expected to be giving talks were not doing so. You...

    The Great Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Gene Project

    My entire family plus my husband did the 23and me genetic analysis over 2 years ago. We all had about 5% Neanderthal DNA. I think that might be the norm. I sent my results into Nancy Klimas' study when it was first announced and I can't wait to see the outcome of this study.

    Bateman-Horne Center Tells NIH to Create Building Blocks For Success For Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

    Great article and news, yet again. Things are really moving these days. Finally. Not feeling well enough to write much but do you know what the wait time is to get into the BHC as a new patient? I see they are expanding and are overloaded with requests from new patients. I don't see much...

    Is Alzheimer's Disease Caused by Infection? (And Why It Could Matter for ME/CFS and FM)

    Interesting and very frightening. My father has AD and it makes me wonder if there is something genetic that we share that has allowed him to develop AD and me to have ME/CFS: an immune system defect for example. It would be interesting to see if there is a higher incidence of AD among...

    ME/CFS Researcher Says "This is Going to Turn Very Quickly"

    It's been a while since I have been here due to a severe downtown all winter ( Hi Cort and everyone else) so I have not been able to comment but have been following along very closely to all of the recent events and studies in progress and I truly do believe that we really are just around the...

    British Columbia's Complex Chronic Diseases Program finally posts protocols

    That's strange re Dr. Hyde but I was wondering why I haven't heard from him for a few months. I don't have any appointments booked but he usually calls to check in. Plus he also sends a Christmas card and I haven't had one yet. Now I am worried. I have his private number and email and will look...

    Severely Ill Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Study Expanded

    This is THE BEST news that I have heard all year! Thanks Cort, once again, for giving us hope by sharing this. I love the fact that any positive results will be shared online right away. The waiting for studies to be written up, peer reviewed and finally printed in a paper is painfully...

    British Columbia's Complex Chronic Diseases Program finally posts protocols

    The state of health care here in Canada regarding ME/CFS is abysmal. It is going from bad to worse. We only have a few specialists for the entire country, Dr Bested being one of them, and there are so very few new ones coming along. It is still not accepted as a legitimate disease by the...

    FDA Says Some Lyme Tests are Dangerous - Will Start Regulating Them - Major Changes Expected

    One of the biggest issues of all the false positives is the intensive antibiotic regime that the patient then has to endure. As we are now starting to realize, messing around with the gut flora ( the intestinal microbiome) by taking antibiotics ,among other things that mess up the gut flora, can...
