Proteomics is the study of proteins in the body. Medscape reported on a recently published study which showed that people with ME/CFS have "multiple maladaptive proteomic responses to exercise compared with matched sedentary controls." In simpler terms, the study demonstrated changes on a biological basis, at the protein level in participants with ME/CFS compared with healthy controls following exercise.

Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition that causes widespread pain, fatigue, sleep problems, and cognitive difficulties, sometimes known as “fibro fog.” Symptoms can vary greatly from person to person and may flare up due to stress, illness, or changes in weather.

It’s estimated that around 1 in 20 people in the UK live with fibromyalgia, meaning millions are affected. Despite how common it is, fibro is often misunderstood and under-recognised. Anyone can develop fibromyalgia, regardless of age or gender, although it is more commonly diagnosed in women.

Raising awareness is essential to improving understanding, support, and access to appropriate care for those living with fibromyalgia every day.

Practice Nursing: Supporting people with myalgic encephalomyelitis in primary care

"Practice nurses are often the first healthcare professional a person with ME will speak to, and may be the one they turn to when their symptoms do not fit neatly into a diagnostic category, or when they feel they are not being believed by other clinicians...

An accurate, empathetic response can help someone living with ME feel heard, validated and guided toward the right care, while a dismissive or uninformed response can deepen isolation and delay the provision of appropriate care."
