Free radicals are molecules with one or more unpaired electrons in their outer shells. They tear holes in cell membranes, releasing an overabundance of even more free radicals and preventing proper cell functionality. Antioxidants are molecules stable enough to donate an electron to a rampaging free radical and neutralize it, containing the damage it […]
The lived experiences of people with ME and Long Covid have shown that activity management, or pacing, can be an effective method of reducing symptom severity. However, pacing is difficult to implement. Many people living with energy-limiting conditions have utilized wrist-worn wearables, or activity trackers, to help implement pacing. To validate the value of using […]
People with chronic illnesses often have compromised immune systems or ongoing health issues that can affect how they respond to vaccines. The effectiveness and potential side effects of vaccines may differ for these individuals compared to the general population. Individuals with chronic illnesses may be at a higher risk of experiencing adverse reactions to vaccines. […]
Orthostatic intolerance (OI) describes a group of circulatory disorders whose symptoms are characterized by a dramatic drop in blood flow to the brain when people are sitting for long periods or standing still. It is often associated with other acute issues, such as substantial drops in blood pressure, tachycardia, dizziness, fainting, or other long-term problems, […]
On Thursday, October 3, 2024, Solve M.E. will host a free educational webinar featuring Assistant Professor Rob Wüst from the Vrije Universiteit (Amsterdam, Netherlands), who will discuss skeletal muscle fatigue and post-exertional malaise in patients with Long Covid and the implications for ME/CFS. Dr. Wüst received a Solve M.E. Ramsay Research Grant in 2022 to […]
ME/CFS has a broad spectrum of severity, with some able to work while others require total care and support. People living with Severe ME are often confined to their beds and require assistance with basic daily activities such as eating or bathing. Their symptoms can be exacerbated by light, sound, and movement, and some may […]

**NEW TIME AND DATE!** In 2021 the National Institutes of Health (NIH) launched the RECOVER Initiative, a patient-centered, integrated, adaptive research network created to study Long Covid. Included in the RECOVER Initiative infrastructure was the Commonalities with Other Post-Viral Syndromes Task Force. The Task Force included Solve President and CEO Emily Taylor, Dr. Leonard Jason […]
