Verband tussen huisdier en ME?
Geplaatst: 03 apr 2011, 10:39
Ik kwam net via deze site terecht op de site van het Alternatief.org. Waar ik een studie tegenkwam die onderzocht heeft of er een verband is tussen ME en de primaire zorg dragen over een huisdier. Ik zal hieronder het resultaat kopieren.
Mijn vraag is nu, hoe betrouwbaar is dit onderzoek en deze site(het Alternatief)?? Ik ben deze site namelijk al eerder tegengekomen en vond hem toen weinig betrouwbaar maar nu word er vanaf mecvs.net zelfs gelinkt naar deze site.
En zijn er al meer onderzoeken gedaan naar dit verband?
Results:
One hundred six (83%) of the 127 ME/CFS surveyed reported that at least one of their animals (predominantly domestic pets) showed a wide range of unusual or atypical signs, many of which mimicked the signs and symptoms of ME/CFS.
The sick animals’ signs were divided into General (40%), Neurological (35%), Gastrointestinal (10%), Reticuloendothelial/Blood (9%), Neoplasia (4%), and Endocrine (2%).
One of the most striking result of the study was that 113 of the 127 ME/CFS patients surveyed felt their ME/CFS symptoms were somehow associated with their animals contact.
Ninety (71%) of the 127 ME/CFS patients reported that they were the primary caretakers for multiple animals.
Other less common findings were:
the onset of ME/CFS being associated with obtaining the animal;
the onset of ME/CFS being associated with a flea bite episode;
prior residents having sick animals and ME/CFS;
other family member contracting ME/CFS from their close association with the sick animal
(as opposed to their association with the family members who had ME/ CFS);
ME/CFS symptoms decreasing after the pet leaving or dying.
Conclusions:
A large number of animals of ME/CFS patients have atypical or unusual diseases which at least mimic ME/CFS. Most of the 127 ME/CFS patients surveyed have significant animal interactions.
