9 years I've been following this thread (whilst managing the symptoms by basically never having a full 24-48 hours off the bike) and finally there's a name for our pain! Thank you @Borninawonder and good luck to you.

So did we learn anything new at all?

In this week's episode of the motor doping podcast there's mention of a scandal waiting to happen based around a pro team's sponsor pulling out after learning they'd been using motors.

Re Katie Compton. I was able to get in touch with her so sent her a message explaining that this thread existed and asking if she'd be kind enough to share further info for us. Fortunately she was generous enough with her time to send the following response: Hi, No worries, happy to help if I...

That makes for uncanny reading. Wow. I'm going to investigate this for sure - any advise on testing for the mutation would be massively appreciated.

Hey Sal. So are your bouts not triggered by time off the bike (as in 1+ rest days)?

Hi Cramping. Welcome to this s***ty club! A day off + a tonne of chocolate Easter eggs would certainly do it for me. It's SO ANNOYING!!! Personally I have somewhat vaguely felt it in my glutes a couple of times, but nothing like the quads where it's consistently and intensely focused...

I've not checked in on here for some time, but as I believe is the case for many other followers of this thread, it's the first place I come to as soon as the issue becomes relevant to me again. It's interesting to see that there have been several new members to this horrible club since I was...

How odd ... a new member who said he was an MD Anesthesiologist (and a fellow sufferer) made a truly excellent post on here late last night, and now that I've finally found the time to reply - mainly to thank them - I've found that the post has been removed and the member's profile no longer...

@mickmcgill68 - this is extremely interesting. Amen to "The main reason I want to have this formally diagnosed is my wife just thinks I have obsessive cycling disorder and won’t let me take my bike on holidays..." (although fortunately my missus is incredibly understanding about it - even if...

Sorry to hear that you're not well - I hope that you made it through the flight okay!!! Thanks so much for replying, and very best of luck with the biopsy. As has been said in similar circumstances previously in this thread, it seems like you're taking one for the team so thank you!!!

@pasaglia - just to be clear, you're not saying that you think it's CPT II, but rather that the symptoms are consistent with it? In your original post (07th July 2015) you say "Sorry to say it is recurrent rhabdomyolysis. Could be dangerous if not properly managed - treatment being hydration"...

Freeman a no show at his hearing today. As someone pointed out on Twitter, the GMC should have arranged a book signing beforehand.
