Rakib Uddin Rayhan is a MD/PhD candidate at Georgetown University Medical Center and Howard University, Washington, D.C. Since 2010, he has worked with Dr. James Baraniuk on functional neuroimaging at the Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Center.[1] His fields of study are Cognitive Psychology, Biological Psychology, Neuropsychology.[2]

According to his bio for the Invest In ME Conference:"[Rayhan is] deeply interested in symptomatic development and chronification of pain and fatigue in idiopathic illnesses such as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), Gulf War Illness (GWI), and Fibromyalgia (FM)...He is actively engaged in further pursuing a systems biology to the approach to the [Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Center] neuroimaging research by examining genomics, proteomics and metabolomics. His desire is to identify potential biomarkers that provide objective support to disease criteria and that are then translated into new and affordable therapies leading to a better quality of life for patients."[3]

cognition Thought processes, including attention, reasoning, and memory.

myalgic encephalomyelitis (M.E.) - A disease often marked by neurological symptoms, but fatigue is sometimes a symptom as well. Some diagnostic criteria distinguish it from chronic fatigue syndrome, while other diagnostic criteria consider it to be a synonym for chronic fatigue syndrome. A defining characteristic of ME is post-exertional malaise (PEM), or post-exertional neuroimmune exhaustion (PENE), which is a notable exacerbation of symptoms brought on by small exertions. PEM can last for days or weeks. Symptoms can include cognitive impairments, muscle pain (myalgia), trouble remaining upright (orthostatic intolerance), sleep abnormalities, and gastro-intestinal impairments, among others. An estimated 25% of those suffering from ME are housebound or bedbound. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies ME as a neurological disease.

creatine (CR) - A natural substance that turns into creatine phosphate in the body, which helps make ATP. ATP provides the energy for muscles Often taken as a supplement to improve sports performance. (Learn more: www.webmd.com)
