1/ 🚨 Big news: @solveme.bsky.social has awarded @renegaderesearch.bsky.social a Catalyst Award to launch SIGNAL - a decentralized platform to test promising therapeutic devices for ME/CFS and Long COVID. Here's what it means for patients 🧵
We just got published! 🥳 "Brainstem dysfunction as a potential etiology of #MECFS and #LongCovid: A mechanical basis” by Jeff Wood, @thosvarley.bsky.social @hiimjakekthx.bsky.social @artasemita.bsky.social @tessfalor.bsky.social @kaufmanmd.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 1/6 🧵
Brainstem dysfunction as a potential etiology of ME/CFS and long COVID: A mechanical basis
The underlying mechanism of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) remains poorly understood. Given the dramatic increase in case…

A so-called shitstorm led me to study the extensive protocols of Joshua Leisk a bit further. It will still take time until people understand how important his scientific work is. Chapter 2.2.6: Welcome to my glycogen dump 😂👇🏼. @tessfalor.bsky.social #mecfs
Join us March 13 at 1 pm ET (US) for a Research Roundtable with @resiapretorius.bsky.social of @suhealthsci.bsky.social @liverpooluni.bsky.social, @dbkell.bsky.social of @liverpooluni.bsky.social, Jordan Vaughn of MedHelp, Jill Schofield of @cuanschutz.bsky.social 🧵Registration link, research below

This is coming up this Saturday at noon ET. Join us to meet our awesome team and learn out how you can get involved!
We will host a Volunteer Info Session on Sat., Nov. 15! We're seeking volunteers to help with nonprofit tasks and research projects such as our upcoming Vielight studies Email event@renegade-research.org with event questions and contact@renegade-research.org to volunteer Register in next post 1/2
The Amatica team is doing amazing patient-led decentralized work. Can't wait to hear more on the 21st!
Please sign up our next Clinician's Roundtable with @jackamatica.bsky.social & Nicholas Boyd-Gibbins of @amaticahealth.bsky.social on Friday, Nov. 21! They'll discuss their MECFS and Long Covid 31 Marker and RNA Sequencing Tests plus their new Clinician Dashboard Register in next post 1/2 #MedSky
Exciting news! The community raised enough money to cover all of the samples for David Esteban's study. We don’t have to raise the full $7k, because a lab has offered to run them for lower cost! 🙌
Total so far is $4,356 of $7,000 goal raised! Pls donate if possible - every $5 matters - more than double the impact of this PASC (Long Covid) metabolites study (lab closed that was to process the samples). This research will likely help people with ME/CFS as well and other populations. #medsky
The $7k would amplify the study's impact on understanding Long COVID! Read more about the study and donate here: www.zeffy.com/en-US/fundra...
Wow! Making good progress on this fundraiser @tessfalor.bsky.social 😊 Just a little more to go folks... donations of any size will help complete this very important #longCovid study!
The majority of the work has been completed on this #longCovid research project... just needs a little push to button-up. Read more and donate if possible as below per @tessfalor.bsky.social who is one of the participants in the study!

Dates are set! May 13-19. #InnovationInn 5 patient-scientist team members will come to my house to run self-experiments related to Post Exertional Malaise (PEM)/Post Exertional Symptom Exacerbation (PESE) & do real-time analysis of our samples.
Imagine scientist-patients getting together for a week to run an experiment. Gathering tons of data and biological samples. It's happening. My house. April or May 2025. @RenegadeRes #RenegadeResearch #InnovationInn #ResearchRetreat 🔬🏡
Hey y’all—David Esteban’s @patientled.bsky.social funded Long Covid study has hit a snag just before the finish line—the cost to process samples went up. They’ve collected 43 but now can only run 20. $7000 would cover the rest! Thanks so much for giving or boosting!

3 years ago I joined a panel of patients to determine how to allocate $4.8 million to Long COVID, ME/CFS, & dysautonomia research (the @patientled.bsky.social research fund). It was an amazing experience working with patients like @ahandvanish.bsky.social @themegascope.bsky.social & many more. 🧵
Round Table on lactate levels in #MECFS and #LongCovid! 👇 Thank you @sunsopeningband.bsky.social @ciarawrightphd.bsky.social @tessfalor.bsky.social @isabelrb.bsky.social @katboniface.bsky.social @doc4care.bsky.social and everyone else from @renegaderesearch.bsky.social for your great efforts!

Looking forward to the part about "possible treatments in ME/CFS" Jan 24, 2025 1p Eastern US Hosts include @renegaderesearch.bsky.social @tessfalor.bsky.social @isabelrb.bsky.social @richellesepulveda.bsky.social Robert Naviaux, MD. Q. Can NextGen Metabolomics be used to help diagnose CFS? A: Yes!
Wow! Next Week: 1/24/25, Fri, 1p ET US. Speaker Robert Naviaux, MD, (Genetics Prof UCSD) on "Cell danger response (CDR) inhibition of salugenesis—molecular and mechanical mechanisms and possible treatments in ME/CFS" Register here us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
I've been obsessed with Bob Naviaux's work for a few years now. He takes an evolutionary perspective, which I've been interested in for over a decade. Next Friday he will bring in another of my favorite topics - #MEspine (mechanical spine issues leading to #MECFS Sx) tinyurl.com/4c34kety
We had a great @remissionbiome.bsky.social primary Preliminary results meeting today! Watch the recording: youtu.be/Y4Un2rQLKTw
Let's start the new year with a few people really worth following if you're interested in #MECFS and #LongCovid: @scheibenbogen.bsky.social @putrinolab.bsky.social @sunsopeningband.bsky.social @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.social @isabelrb.bsky.social @tessfalor.bsky.social More ⬇️ go.bsky.app/42cuLif
