ramakentesh Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 No unfortuntaely not - only by Mayo currently, but there are other autoantibodies implicated in CFS and in OI, with work coming out soon from another research team with perhaps new autoantibodies in POTS.THis is some older stuff I found interesting:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12851722 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakentesh Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 In this case autoantibodies to non ganglionic musc. receptors. Im not sure if they are binding and activating or binding and blocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeSprings Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Very interesting - happy there is ongoing research into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martiz Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Nancy Klimas believes CFS is an autoimmune disease or at least an inappropriate innate immune system activation and her recent research supports this. The chronic viral infections seem a consequence. Of interest, herpes viruses are implicated in mollecular mimicry for M.gravis.I like her and her research. I am saving my money to see her either this year or next.She also works with an exercise physiologist who measure your personal VO2 max. The other side of the coin of HR and exercise is that you exercise and stay under your VO2 threshold. I am curious what my threshold is as I find that my post exertional malaise is so much worse when I let my HR get too high during exercise.
