So sorry to hear 🫂😢 It is possible to stop kidney disease at any stage. Perhaps we should compare notes in the future. Tied up this month with my chronically ill son and other.

Trial By Error: Edinburgh Study Links ME/CFS to “Blood-Based Biomarkers” 2 Comments / By David Tuller / 21 June 2025 By David Tuller, DrPH Last fall, a team from the University of Edinburgh released a pre-print called “Replicated blood-based biomarkers for myalgic encephalomyelitis not explicable by inactivity.” At the time, I posted an interview with the lead investigator, Chris Ponting, a professor of genetics at the university. The peer-reviewed version of the study has just been published by the journal EMBO Molecular Medicine. According to a press release from the University of Edinburgh, “The largest ever biological study of ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome) has identified consistent blood differences associated with chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and liver disease.” The work involved collaboration between the university’s Institute of Genetics and Cancer and the Schools of Mathematics and Informatics.

A Mechanical Basis: Brainstem Dysfunction as a Potential Etiology of ME/CFS and Long COVID The underlying pathologies driving post-acute infectious syndromes (e.g. myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome, long COVID, etc) remain poorly understood. Given the extreme burden these illnesses impose on suffers, and the dramatic increase in cases following the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to establish a deeper understanding of these pathologies. We propose a model of how ME/CFS (and related illnesses), might emerge following a viral insult. Central to this hypothesis is the recognition that the core diagnostic features of ME/CFS involve bodily systems known to be governed by the brainstem. This is consistent with the growing literature suggesting that spinal and craniocervical pathologies are over-represented in people with ME/CFS and other post-infectious disorders. We hypothesize that a non-trivial number of cases of ME/CFS and Long Covid (LC) may have a ``mechanical basis." We propose that an infectious insult may trigger an initial loss of connective tissue integrity in susceptible individuals (e.g. those with pre-existing hypermobility spectrum disorders), which in turn leads to instability at the craniocervical junction, and ultimately mechanical deformation of the brainstem. This ultimately causes widespread autonomic nervous system and immune system dysfunction due to aberrant signaling from the deformed nuclei. This causal chain may also lead to a vicious cycle: if the dysregulation produced by the initial brainstem deformation leads to a deranged immune response or state of chronic hyper-inflammation, further expression of connective tissue degrading and remodeling factors such as MMPs and mast cells may be triggered. This could further degrade the connective tissues of the craniocervical junction and, in turn, increase mechanical deformation of the brainstem, leading to symptom exacerbation over time and leading to the chronic, lifelong presentation typical of ME/CFS.

Very happy to announce the first of what will hopefully be many papers with @renegaderesearch.bsky.social.

The idea that post-acute infectious syndromes are related to dysfunction in the brainstem and cervical spine has been discussed by patients for years...

Watching people I’ve known for years recover from Long COVID feels like the start of a quiet renaissance.

They return with a deep clarity about what truly matters, something words can barely capture.

Shania Twain says Lyme disease caused her to lose her voice - National | Globalnews.ca Back in 2011, Shania Twain opened up about her struggle with dysphonia, and now says that the condition was brought on by Lyme disease.

What do Shania Twain, Avril Lavigne, Yolanda Hadid, Ashley Olsen, Kelly Osbourne, Bella Hadid, and Daryl Hall have in common? Lost voices and more linked to #Lyme disease at some point in their lives.

Long COVID is increasing housing insecurity, but support programs fail to help - The Sick Times A growing body of research shows that Long COVID, combined with a lack of government support, leads to financial insecurity and housing instability.

"First they got #longCovid. Then it made them homeless."

Subjected to major #discrimination due to my 3 #chronicillnesses this month. Was told where I live is WORST protection for renters than anywhere in Canada. 😢

This #stigma + senseless #homelessness must stop!
