"Unfortunately, at the moment even with optimal therapy we can only alleviate symptoms, but cannot influence the disease. Therefore, therapies targeting the disease are urgently needed." #MECFS

So many #MECFS research projects underway, clear abnormalities in blood tests, biopsies etc. Much work left to understand subgroups and find actual treatments. But with so many brilliant minds worldwide finally focusing on #MECFS, the #InternationalMECFSConference2025 gives much hope 🙏

Today and tomorrow, the #InternationalMECFSConference2025 is taking place.

Last minute registration for the livestream is still possible at events.mecfs-research.org/en/events/co...

Speakers include @scheibenbogen.bsky.social @putrinolab.bsky.social and many more

One unambiguous result of the #InternationalMECFSConference2025:

The evidence for pathophysiologic disease mechanisms in #MECFS is - once again - so overwhelming that no serious doctor or researcher can still claim otherwise.

„This conference gives me so much hope. I am convinced that we are on the right track and that we will find treatments for #MECFS.“
