Damaged Small Nerve Fibers May be Causing Energy Problems in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
Invasive exercise study uncovers two different kinds of chronic fatigue syndrome. One is characterized by low heart outputs associated with reduced preload and blood pooling. The other is probably caused by shunts which propel blood away from the muscles. Approximately 30% of ME/CFS patients have small fiber neuropathy as well. Deconditioning is not causing the abnormalities found.
Poor Oxygen Extraction is Contributing to Exercise Intolerance in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
Poor oxygen uptake from the red blood cells could help explain the exercise issues in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Mitochondrial problems or hyperventilation contribute to the oxygen uptake problem.
