Interessante column van arts Bert Keizer over zijn post-acuut infectieus syndroom (#PAIS) bijscholing die hij onlangs gevolgd had. Hoewel hij duidelijk het nodige heeft opgestoken, bevat zijn stuk helaas ook enkele forse missers.

It was so nice to really "talk" to my best friend & caregiver via this interview during the #PAISprotest yesterday.
He's in my house on a weekly basis, but I haven't properly spoken to him in a decade maybe? We also rarely "see" each other. Thankful! ❤️

Fijn mee te mogen doen aan dit stuk in 't Parool. Het idee was dat we een foto lieten maken, maar dat was voor mij natuurlijk niet mogelijk.
Vaak haken journalisten af als ze merken dat ik niet volledig kan meewerken. Deze eindelijk niet!

Toch demonstreren, zelfs als douchen al een uitputtingsslag is
Mooie column door Hieke Huistra over jojanneke kant en het PAIZ protest van NietHersteld op 30 november op het Malieveld. Komen jullie ook?

Tekst op foto: “Oproep beeldmateriaal voor video (zeer) ernstig zieken” bovenaan. Daaronder een foto van een persoon die in een donker verlichte kamer op bed ligt, omringd door keukenapparatuur en spullen. Onderaan staat het logo “Het PAIS Protest”.
🎥 Oproep beeldmateriaal voor video (zeer) ernstig zieken.
Tijdens het programma op het podium willen we nadrukkelijk stilstaan bij PAIS-patiënten die (zeer) ernstig ziek zijn.
We zijn daarom bezig met het maken van een video waarin deze groep te zien is. #PAIS #SevereME

Eindelijk een NTVG-artikel dat long covid biomedisch benadert en inzet op ondersteuning i.p.v. het oude CGT/GET-model. Er zitten nog wat haken en ogen aan, maar het is wel een stap in de goede richting. 👏

No Evidence Supports Using Graded Exercise for ME/CFS
Studies examining the effects of activity-based interventions haven’t required post-exertional malaise as a core criterion for the now-termed ‘myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.’
"My preliminary work with students has identified a similar trend in #longCOVID exercise studies [...] The mixing of participants who may and may not respond normally to physical loading is probably also now confounding results in LC literature.”

The Body Keeps the Score is Bullshit
The popular book from the "world's most famous living psychiatrist" is riddled with blatant misrepresentations
Not about ME, but a great take down of the popular book written by Bessel van der Kolk.
I hadn't heard of the work by Michael Scheeringa. So that will be my next stop.

Sex-related cardiometabolic differences in ME/CFS patients
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic, debilitating, and multisystem disease that affects more females than males. …
New study finds sex-based differences in ME: women show faster heart rates & reduced blood flow when standing, while men have higher blood pressure & more oxidative stress, pointing to distinct cardiovascular patterns.

Long-Covid. Self-Employed. Sick. Uninsured.
A great documentary aired on Dutch national TV about self-employed Long Covid patients and their struggle to get insured, largely due to a lack of understanding and awareness about what #LongCovid actually entails.

Burden of Disease in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS): A Scoping Review - Applied Health Economics and Health Policy
Objective Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a serious chronic and complex multi-system disease characterised by symptoms such as post-exertional malaise, fatigue, cognitive impairment and pain. Diagnosis is based on international consensus criteria, and no curative treatment is available. In the USA, its prevalence is estimated at 0.42% among adults, with women affected three times as often as men. Prevalence is expected to increase due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to its severe symptoms, ME/CFS has a substantial economic impact. This scoping review aimed to systematically examine the global health, social and economic burden of ME/CFS. Methods We conducted a systematic literature search following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines in six databases and supplemented it with a citation search. We assessed study quality using a modified version of the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Results We included 20 studies that assessed costs (n = 16), disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) (n = 3), employment rates (n = 1), and school attendance (n = 1) as indicators of disease burden. Reported costs per patient ranged from USD 2,916 to USD 119,611, with indirect costs accounting for the largest proportion. DALYs reported for the USA ranged from 0.714 million in 2016 to 5.77 million in 2022. Conclusion ME/CFS imposes a substantial health, social and economic burden of disease. Discrepancies in estimates are probably due to differences in study samples, methodologies, cost components, and healthcare systems. Because ME/CFS is assumed to be underdiagnosed, its true burden may be even higher.
"Reported costs per patient ranged from USD 2,916 to USD 119,611, with indirect costs accounting for the largest proportion. DALYs reported for the USA ranged from 0.714 million in 2016 to 5.77 million in 2022.

Really love this work by Anouk Slaghekke. It fits 100% with how I from day 1 experienced exertion. No oxygen in my skin, muscles, head and elsewhere. Well done!!!!

‘Vermoeidheid dekt de lading niet, PAIS-patiënten zijn uitgeput’ - DOQ
Jojanneke Kant leerde via haar patiënten hoe ingrijpend PAIS is en hoe groot het kennisgebrek onder zorgverleners hierover nog altijd is.
Heel goed stuk!! Even lezen en delen!

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) - HSE.ie
The Irish health service has initiated a process to develop a clinical guideline for ME (#MyalgicEncephalomyelitis). I am honoured to be part of its Steering Group
The process so far has been extremely progressive
I am hugely optimistic that a world-leading guideline will be produced
