Reduced glycolysis in #MECFS is an important metabolic dysfunction that might helps explain (in part) why we have less energy (and mitochondrial dysfunction). It also might help explain why we are so low in amino acids - any why supplementing AAs is crucial (i.e. AAs end up as muscle). I have recently started using MAP AAs (masteraminoacidpattern.com). This is a great short lecture on metabolism - worth wrapping your head around it. youtube.com/watch?v=Lf4irl… and doi.org/10.1371/journa…
Meclizine, available OTC (and sold out currently almost everywhere it seems, even Amazon) is an H1 anti-histamine that might help enhance glycolysis and help mitochondrial function. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
@chydorina Would you say this lines up with RobertPhair’s Mitochondrial theorems on dysfunction ? … affecting glial cells and interrupting exchange of oxygen … as my Specialist says, keep your glilias happy 😊
@chydorina Your scientific ME/CFS posts are my love language 🤗
@chydorina Is the MAP still beneficial if you are not exercising at this time? On the website it talks a lot about using during exercise to increase muscle endurance. I am unable to exercise at this time due to LC— but working on recovering 😉
@chydorina It's so odd, despite severe ME and not eating meat since 2016, I came back as having very very high amino acid levels
@chydorina Does #3 have any implications for diet interventions like keto or low carb? I need some justification to convince me to go back to low carb cuz it didn’t make me feel any better in the past but is supposed to be good for me somehow
