Interesting as part of the overall Perrin/ME picture… problems with the glymphatics leading to cognitive dysfunction.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent but easily undiagnosed and is an independent risk factor for cognitive impairment. However, it remains unclear how OSA is linked to cognitive impairment. In the present study, we found the correlation between morphological changes of perivascular spa...

The politics of the BPS model of chronic illnesses (and the bias in developing the model).

I’m still reading this as it initially appears quite long, but there does appear to be quite a few blank pages.

I thought this was quite interesting... A link for cells to enter the brain.. It's part of the reason why working to improve drainage is so important. Note the place of inflammation in this...

Did you know you have tiny tunnels in your head? That's OK, no one else did either until recently! But that's exactly what a team of medical researchers confirmed in mice and humans in 2018 – tiny channels that connect skull bone marrow to the lini

Yesterday was the Perrin Practitioner conference. It’s a chance for all trained and registered Perrin Therapists to catch up on the conferences Dr Perrin as been to and any interesting research that has been presented.

There’s also a host of speakers presenting on and also now . What was probably the most illuminating and frightening was seemingly how quickly schools and social services can go full on chitty chitty bang bang child catcher. This will hopefully become more a thing of the past as the new NICE guidelines on ME take hold.

I’ll write a more snippets about the day as the week goes on.

Can yoga make ME worse? Really interesting study on the effect of stretching on ME/CFS. A stretch that can be similar to some stretches found in yoga made people with ME temporarily worse.

This doesn’t mean you should stop yoga, it just means that some aspects of yoga may need to be modified or otherwise changed..

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a complex, multisystem disorder that can be disabling. CFS symptoms can be provoked by increased physical or cognitive activity, and by orthostatic stress. In preliminary work, we noted that CFS symptoms also could be ...

Question. I'm thinking of doing a podcast. I'd like to use a slow moving, calm coloured background.

Looking at the leaked NICE updated update….relief to see that GET appears to have been properly thrown out. Also good to see the Lightning Process has be “barred” too. If the lightning process which is basically an NLP/CBT approach to a Biopsychosocial model of care is out, then why is CBT still there?

The Perrin Technique sort of squeaked in, which I’m happy about, although the continuing messing and round table discussions of what the final “final” recommendations are seems to be about the politics of medicine rather than the evidence…

Time for them to just get it sorted..
