Scientists find link between genes and ME/chronic fatigue syndrome
Large study suggests people’s genetics could ‘tip the balance’ on whether they would develop the illness
Scientists have found the first robust evidence that people’s genes affect their chances of developing myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), a mysterious and debilitating illness that has been neglected and dismissed for decades by many in the medical community.
Early findings from the world’s largest study into the genetics of the condition pinpointed eight regions of the human genome that were substantially different in people with an ME/CFS diagnosis compared to those without the illness. Continue reading...

I’ve long said that a lot of the resistance to adequately funding research into MECFS and long COVID is that a lot of medical professionals are ideologically opposed to the idea of a condition where exercise makes you worse.
A new study suggests that exercise doesn’t clear microclots in people with Long COVID—it just fragments them into smaller ones. These smaller clots are linked to increased inflammation and impaired oxygen transport, which may help explain PEM & PESE—the worsening of symptoms after even mild effort.

Well done! Any Anglican London priests who want to have a go but that isn't the tradition of your church I would be delighted to guide you through in a friendly and forgiving parish. And we can throw in incense and a whole lot more singing if you like.
Put on my big girl boots today and sang the sursum corda for the first time. Yes I know you lot all do it all the time, but it was my first. ⚓️🕯️
