Article from “French Daily News” claims “In conclusion, excess glucose can trigger a late relapse (24 to 48 hours later) due to purinergic receptor activation and energy depletion.”
The content does seems more appropriate for a medical journal than a daily paper!
Released as version 1.0 today, a new and outstandingly comprehensive reference guide for both Doctors and Health Care Workers. The reference guide we needed 20 years ago! This certainly feels like an essential training reference:

Extract – Abstract
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic neurologic disease often preceded by infection. There has been increased interest in ME/CFS recently because of its significant overlap with the post-COVID syndrome (long COVID or post-acute sequelae of COVID), with several studies estimating that half of patients with post-COVID syndrome fulfill ME/CFS criteria. Our concise review describes a generalist approach to ME/CFS, including diagnosis, evaluation, and management strategies. (c) 2023 THE AUTHORS.

In this SciShow video, Stefan Chin presents a snappy summary that trying to exercise your way out of ME/CFS is going to end in tears. They say that “ME/CFS, or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, is way more than being tired at the end of the day. And, contrary to situations like that, exercise is the last thing you’d want to do.”
