New review paper from Scheibenbogen and Wirth: “If ionic disturbance and mitochondrial dysfunction is severe enough the patient may be captured in a vicious circle. This energy deficit is the most likely cause of exertional intolerance and PEM.“ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #MECFS

Background: Recent studies provide strong evidence for a key role of skeletal muscle pathophysiology in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). In a 2021 review article on the pathophysiology of ME/CFS, we postulated that hypoperfusion and ischemia can result in excessive sodium and calcium overload in skeletal muscles of ME/CFS patients to cause mitochondrial damage. Since then, experimental evidence has been provided that supports this concept.

Here is a link to a video about Ron Davis and Rob Phair’s work on the itaconate shunt with the scientists at the University of Utah. We spoke to the Bay Area MECFS support group and it was recorded over Zoom. drive.google.com/file/d/1rKf1...

Nice summary of Rob Phair’s recent presentation (ME/CFS Roadmap Series: Physiology, Dec 8). Includes several findings that support their hypothesis and 3 proposed therapeutic targets: www.reddit.com/r/cfs/s/hdek...
