Within a week of the plan being published, There were three petitions for people with severe ME being held against their will by the NHS. And now this mother of a child with ME being *arrested* for her death despite the harms caused by THE NHS!!!

PEM is required for a ME/CFS diagnosis. That means only 55% of the UK Biobank ME/CFS samples are ME/CFS samples. Meaning that 45% of UK ME/CFS samples are *NOT* ME/CFS samples because they don't have PEM.
Shouldn't Non-PEM samples have been excluded as not meeting the definition of ME/CFS?

I am puzzled.
"Among the ME/CFS cases with available Pain Questionnaire data, 55% reported long-lasting PEM-like symptoms (“Methods”). This allowed us to compare blood trait results for those with PEM versus those without PEM symptoms."

By definition, Patients without PEM are not ME/CFS patients.

Once we can point to proteins, or genes or MicroRNAs it will get easier. In my opinion, anyway. The truth of ME/CFS will never be easy to explain- but if we can use some proteins for the highlights in time, the world will get it.
