Lactate has become a big deal in both chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and fibromyalgia (FM). A by-product of anaerobic energy metabolism, lactate ordinarily gets pumped out of our cells in large amounts during exertion. The lactate findings suggest that the energy...
Producing energy is a big problem in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). In fact it’s probably the problem in ME/CFS, which is why the findings of mitochondrial dysfunction and lowered ATP production have made sense. When the metabolomics studies suggested that chronic...
Migraine effects 12% of the population (!) or about 40 million people. Two studies suggest as many as 75% of people with chronic fatigue syndrome experience migraines and that most migraines in ME/CFS are undiagnosed. A recent large fibromyalgia study suggested...
We know that hepatitis C patients receiving a strong pro-inflammatory drug (IFN-a) that helps them fight off their viral infections and ME/CFS patients have very similar problems with fatigue and identical problems with their basal ganglia. That suggests that...
Lactate (L-lactate) is an organic compound produced during anaerobic energy metabolism. It’s constantly being formed – even when we are at rest – but is formed in higher quantities when ATP levels are low and anaerobic energy metabolism is high....
