I am due to discuss getting MRIs with my new neurologist. How can I guide my doctor toward these specific scans and are they widely obtainable/interpretable? Thank you for allowing comments & thank you for this video.
From memory they’d have to use an fMRI as is more sensitive. Different software to interpret or present it. So will most likely be very different to a current hospital ones. And they simply don’t listen to our requests. You’d have to present studies showing it’s been achieved and the methods. There has been studies done in the past and recently. Jarred Younger of ‘Younger Labs’ has that information. Look up his work on neural inflammation and microglial activation
Has he found neural inflammation ME/CFS in the past? Or is it still a hypothesis? I’m pretty sure there were a few other studies that showed neural inflammation via different methods. But all were small studies. This maybe the first one with healthy controls. Does anyone know if that’s the case? Thank you
Will the scans include the brainstem? Unfortunately, some research does not include the brainstem in the scans due to the complexity of the movement. IMO, The Brainstem will be important in these results.
I have a benign brain tumor and ME/CFS. I get an MRI every year for the brain tumor. They have never said anything about inflammation. Maybe it's a different type of MRI? Interesting study.
I love Dr. Berquist. His dedication and tenacity to ME research is admirable ❤
Thank you Dr. Bergquist and OMF!

Interesting study.
I couldn't find any info on who is trippling our donations? May I have some details on that? I already donated, you are doing excellent work!
Wondering this too!
I believe it’s a group of anonymous donors
Can a pet scan show inflammation . I had one .
How can I be recruited to be in the study?? Please direct. Thank you
