Simon Collin

From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history

Dr Simon Michael Collin works for Public Health England and is attached to Bristol Medical School. Dr Collin publishes research about chronic fatigue syndrome, and frequently co-authors research with pediatrician Professor Esther Crawley.[1]

Research ethics investigation[edit | edit source]

Dr Collin was co-author or principle author on a number of ME/CFS publications with Esther Crawley which stated an exemption from research ethics approval using a reference to an apparently unrelated study of school absences. In 2019 the University of Bristol announced an investigation into this.

Clinicians should think about PRS in patients with refusal symptoms affecting, eating, social interaction, self-care, mobility and treatment. Patients have extremely high levels of fatigue and/or disability. Postexertional fatigue and disrupted sleep occur but patients are less likely to have characteristic symptoms of CFS/ME such as unrefreshing sleep. The diagnosis of PRS is important as the treatment is different

See ME/CFS.

chronic fatigue (CF) - Persistent and abnormal fatigue is a symptom, not an illness. It may be caused by depression, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome or many other illnesses. The term "chronic fatigue" should never be confused with the disease chronic fatigue syndrome.

endogenous Growing or originating from within an organism.

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.
