#MECFS Montreal - Klimas - first 15 minutes on exercise - 10/10 pathways are immune. 4 hours later - oxidative stress kicks in, autonomic, endocrine; immune system goes bonkers first and then the others fall out. GWS different than ME/CFS on bike! In ME/CFS decreased metabolism

#MECFS Montreal - Klimas - GWS -cell signaling pathways - very different! ME/CFS - everything shuts down; in GWS everything ramps up! Checking out immune endocrine interactions - getting at the meat of the illness.
