Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) This book examines Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and techniques used to explore dysfunctional pathophysiology in patients.

Did you wake up with a craving for a new ME/CFS book with dozens of chapters about research methods? Well, it’s your lucky day link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Finished just in time for Easter! Looking forward to starting experiments!

We also home visit if needed and viable but can discuss with the other stuff

Yep, we can do remote collections via pathology providers. Best to say hi by email and we can work it out :) take care

85/100 samples in the freezer! We now need to round out our control cohort. If you know anyone who is apparently healthy who might be interested in giving a sample to the project (with $20 reimbursement of time and expenses) please refer them to D.Missailidis@latrobe.edu.au

We’re running a day of blood draws for ME, LC, and recovered post-C19 / healthy ppl on campus at La Trobe. This Wednesday April 2nd, all day 8am - 6pm. Details in signup link below.

Pleased to share this research from my PhD in @graemecowan.bsky.social's lab! We replicated existing evidence of moderately increased IGHV3-30 usage in B cells of patients with mild/moderate, but not severe ME. www.frontiersin.org/journals/imm...

Looking for a handful of people with ME/CFS in VIC to round out a large study of immune and metabolic function and gut microorganisms. I do home visits where helpful and provide reimbursement to all participants. ❀️

If you’re interested please get in touch at D.Missailidis@latrobe.edu.au

Yeah turns out getting sick and losing one’s life to something with no real treatment gives people depression and anxiety, yes

I have made and tested over 200 cell lines from healthy people, people with ME/CFS, Long COVID, post covid recovered, and the measurable biological differences are pretty obvious

(And have about half a dozen ME/CFS papers and a PhD thesis, or something like that. Links in bio!)

It’s amazing how I tweeted this on the other site and got a fraction of the support and weird conspiracy stuff and insults. Thanks for the love here on bluesky. Love you all.
