Rare Gene Mutations May Be Affecting Energy Levels in ME/CFS
Dr. Camille Birch has a PhD in biomedical engineering and hails from the Hudson Alpha Institute for Biotechnology at Huntsville, Alabama. Hudson Alpha, only 11 years old, is one of those new biotechnology efforts that’s using sophisticated bioinformatics to...
Bad Engine? Is a Wimpy Motor Cortex Causing the Pain in Fibromyalgia (and ME/CFS)?
Studies suggest that every aspect of movement - from the motor cortex to muscle blood flows, to energy production - may be impaired in fibromyalgia. Find out how problems with planning movement, muscle activation and pain inhibition in the motor cortex may play a role in FM and how a treatment may help.

Day two of the Conference – not all of which is covered here, started off with a physicians’ panel, then NIH Director Francis Collins showed up (covered later) just before the Intramural study presented some results, then it was onto Ian Lipkin, Dr. Oh,...
Metabolomics Study Suggests Chronic Fatigue Syndrome May Be Oxidative Stress/Low Oxygen Disease
Disturbances in circulation and provision of oxygen to tissues could underlie many symptoms of ME/CFS. The authors Metabolomics has quickly become one of the hottest research trends in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The metabolomic work in ME/CFS started with the...
The Hibernation Diseases? Mitochondrial Finding Suggests Fibromyalgia May Be Hibernation Disease as Well
Nothing happens in your body without some of your genes going off like skyrockets. If your body is responding to something – or acting differently in some way – it should show up in a different pattern of gene expression. If you get a virus, for instance,...Lives Interrupted Latest Story
