I get burning in my forearms (but it may be for a different reaon, not necessarily PEM). I find a heating pad works for me.

If it involves women, it must be anxiety. In this case, mass hysteria. 🙄 That is why there has been no concerted effort to collaborate on the mystery of CFS/ME.

The usual unevidenced psychiatrist lingo: 'MOST LIKELY due to', etc. That profession always use terms such as 'probably', 'it is thought' , 'it is assumed'; in this case, 'most likely'. Never any actual indisputable proof, just their own personal beliefs. Hence no progress made in decades.

I know that sometimes working on a "micro" level and just helping individual people figure out stuff like what shower chair to get can seem like you're "not doing much"

But I figure, eugenicists want disabled people to die

Helping us stay alive, and suffer less, *is* important

Thanks for this - a nice concise summary of certain facts!
