@RenzPolster We are planning to isolate serum and plasma in a new MRS 7T muscle study looking at changes in the magnet with PEM. Once we have collected all the samples, towards the end of 2026 we will look for funding to work on the samples. This will involve discovery mass spec and transfer

Something in the blood... transfer experiment # 12 in #MECFS: healthrising.org/blog/2025/12/2… I wonder though why no one considers the obvious in a disease characterized by #PEM: compare the effects of sera harvested during PEM and sera harvested during “baseline” days? Any takers?

Interesting new study by Prof Zalewski and his team. Again demonstrating the potential of AI, this time with clinical measures. rdcu.be/eV2SD . Excited to try to combine this with our biological assessments. #pwme #covid #fibromyalgia #lyme

New Oxford clinical study on fatigue led by Dr Inga Williams. We are looking for people with ME/CFS, Long Covid and Healthy controls. Please see link below for more info and contact details. drive.google.com/open?id=1T25OQ…

Useful links and templates . Letter template spelling out the case for stategic funding for ME/CFS available from the Cambridge ME support group. cbmegroup@outlook.com mailhttps://whatson.parliament.uk/event/cal53589

Time to write to your MP and raise this crucial issue in parliament now. Apart from the suffering it will cost the UK billions of £ in lost revenue due to people being unable to work. We need strategic investment to support change. #pweme #longcovid bmftr.bund.de/SharedDocs/Kur…

Global crowd fund raiser £1.2Million. 10000 people, £10 monthly donations in 2026. The price of a pub lunch for 4 people. Talks from the OMEGA meeting will be available soon. Reaching out to healthy friends and family to commit to 1 year of £10 monthly donations. More to follow

Still time to register #pwme #LongCovid #fibromyalgia #endometriosis #chronic lyme disease. Details will be given on our new pilot whole body cryotherapy studies.

Full programme now out. Looking forward to catching up with OMEGA and the wider patient community on the 13th November. eventbrite.co.uk/e/professor-ka… #pwme #LongCovid #lyme #fibromyalgia @panspandasuk

There has been the opportunity to explore chronic health problems for many decades. Covid and Long Covid might be starting to drive change. A lot of catching up to do. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@MEAssociation Very excited about this one.

Research: New funding awarded to PhD project that will identify key metabolites and infection markers in ME/CFS Find out more about the project on the blog: meassociation.org.uk/snrw #MECFS #pwME #MyalgicE #RamsayResearchFund

Talk tomorrow. Tuesday 4th November 1pm-2pm. “The role of the microbiome in health and disease and the potential importance of mitochondria” by Karl Morten On TEAMs. Will be recorded. teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/…

@wigglethemouse No problem. It also works well with our time schedules. We couldn't find a weekend slot that worked for all the speakers. I hope to put out the programme in the next couple of weeks.

@OxMEDiscovery Thanks for making the start time more accessible this year for those of us with large timezones differences.

Annual Meeting with OMEGA, including an Oxford ME/CFS research update. November 13th, 17.15. Talks from Aleyna Lumsden, Beata Godlewska, Patrick Esser, Edie Guo & Inga Williams. Live streamed on TEAMS. eventbrite.co.uk/e/174811226383…. Full programme soon.

Exciting for Maisy to start our 1 year MSc PANS project started this week. Lots to do, obtain ethics to recruit subjects, develop the immune cell methods on the Raman and work with Virax. Already looking for funding for years 2 & 3 to turn it into a PhD. Looking for around £80K.

Aleyna starts her PhD on ME/CFS next week. Very excited to see where we can take the new approaches being developed at the RFI. Huge potential for discovery projects. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi… #pwme #LongCovid #lyme #Fibromyalgia @PANSPANDASUK
