Functional autoantibodies seem to play an important secondary role in illnesses like Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), POTS and Long Covid, with one paper showing that symptom severity in ME/CFS correlates with presence and quantity of autoantibodies. However, there is some research to indicate - as well as anecdotal evidence from patients - that these functional antibodies can exist in the same amount in both healthy people and those with these kinds of illnesses, leading to the perception that perhaps these autoantibodies don’t play such an active role after all. In this video, I argue against this by pointing out a) within ME/CFS and related illnesses, the issue is whether or not the AABS bind to - or away from - the cell receptor, b) treatments to remove AABS tend to lead to clinical improvement and c) we know that presence of AABS correlates with symptom severity.
