Quotes from Abstract TEM analysis of CD3/CD28-stimulated T cells suggested a significant increase in the levels of apoptotic and necrotic cell death in T cells from ME/CFS patients (over 2-fold). Stimulated T Cells of ME/CFS patients also had higher numbers of swollen mitochondria. We also found a large increase in […]

Severe ME Day: Wanderer’s Story
by WandererfromCalifornia Introduction I first came down with ME/CFS while working at Delta Airlines in Atlanta in 2018. I started noticing dizziness, fatigue and sensory overload during symptom onset. Also, around the same time, I got night sweats and lost some weight. At the time, I didn’t know anything about […]
New study finds microclots in ME*; a potential treatment target?
Dr Jaeger therefore decided that this could be adapted to remove microclots from the circulation of Long Covid patients, by a sophisticated process of filtration. The technique involves continuous removal of blood from one arm vein whence it is filtered, before being returned to the opposite arm.
Peroxisomes, Mitochondria, and Fibrinoid Microclots: Two New Preprints.
Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of myalgic encephalomyelitis is not any feature of the disease which, after all, has been subject to limited investigation, but the deafening non-response of the world’s governments, the American and British governments especially, which is a response against human decency. Nevertheless, in spite of this, […]
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis – Could there be a wrench in the mitochondrial motor?
If there is a problem in the mitochondria (and ATP-synthase especially), given their centrality to the cell’s energy production, (and thus to virtually all the functions of life) this would also have the effect of simplifying things–since it is likely whatever is impairing the mitochondria is either a direct cause or proximate to the pathomechanism of myalgic encephalomyelitis…
