Pyridostigmine Improves Hand Grip Strength in Patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
#ME/CFS #Pyridostigmine
@scheibenbogen.bsky.social et al.
Dr. Scheibenbogen I’d like to know if the patients in this study were also screened for gAChR auto-antibodies and if not, why?
#pwME a/o #LongCOVID suffering with #PEM I would like to know how many of you have trialed these 2 off-label medications IN COMBINATION: pyridostigmine + #LDN (low dose naltrexone) and have experienced any improvements in exertion tolerance & less pain?
#Mestinon #Pyridostigmine #LowDoseNaltrexone
Previous work from Dr. Systrom’s group at the OMF Harvard ME/CFS Collaboration has shown that measurements from the SHAPE test can show changes in function after treatment with #pyridostigmine, a drug that can impact aerobic capacity. (4/6)
AH! ok I know about #Mestinon aka #Pyridostigmine
Fun-Fact: Valeant price-gouged it & execs sent to prison
BUT Over-The-Counter alternative works better without prescription:
#HuperzineA
Both slow Acetyl-Choline breakdown
Maybe better approach: INCREASE Choline via OTC Alpha-GPC, CDP-Choline, etc
