Are you at risk of getting #MECFS, #autoimmune disease, other #chronicillness? This paper identifies immune profiles in 100s of people and identified signatures that may predict future immune responses; strong vs weak; healthy vs pathogenic @PNASNews pnas.org/content/early/…

A quick question for Spanish followers - What's the best word, or words, for "Pacing" in Spanish? Cúal es la mejor palabra, o palabras, para decir "Pacing" en Español? Gracias! @SFC_EM_Investig @SFC_Valencia @SFCencuentro @SindromeSQM @SFC_Accion

"I felt embarrassed to be a doctor, hearing some of the stories in that movie [@unrestfilm], and I think we, as doctors, have to get much better at saying, as @jenbrea said in her TED talk - I don't know" bit.ly/2BkVUx1

Melbourne GP, Dr Don Lewis, and Senior Research Fellow at Monash University, @Dr_M_Guthridge, were interviewed about ME/CFS by @anuchristine on Evenings on @abcsydney last night. You can listen to the interview below, which starts at 1:34:42 #mecfs abc.net.au/radio/sydney/p…

Exercise can improve symptoms in many diseases BUT exercise triggers 'Post Exertional Malaise' (PEM) in #pwME which actually worsens #MECFS symptoms This study develops a questionnaire for diagnosing/tracking PEM in ME/CFS patients #PLOSONE #MyalgicE buff.ly/2xIT4kO

An in-depth article about ME/CFS. It covers - the latest research from NCNED (@Griffith_Uni) - the lack of research funding - the need for new @RACGP guidelines - young Australian’s Ketra & Josh’s stories and their hopes for a better future. @MenziesHealth @MEActNetAu

She's only 32 and has lived in aged care on the Gold Coast with a mystery illness for five years. Read more about the Qld scientists trying to help: couriermail.com.au/news/queenslan… @MenziesHealth @Griffith_Uni @mecfshealth #me-cfs

Very excited to be talking to @JimmyRHill on @2ser this morning after 10:00am about Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or #mecfs Are #MECFS patients just a bit tired? Or do they suffer from a severely debilitating and disabling disease?
