@Jonathan Edwards. Previously, I have used the following definition of a syndrome like ME/CFS. Do you think it agrees with your position? A...
Geraghty’s review of the biopsychosocial model for ME/CFS may be useful. However, I have the same impression as @Jonathan Edwards. The model says...
Thank you, @Jonathan Edwards, for an interesting article. I am concerned that ME advocates often exaggerate physiological abnormalities reported...
Is this some kind of sick joke? “Defend discredited strategies for recovery to the last drop of blood” would be more accurate. [ATTACH]
The problem with statements like these is the implication that you recover because you recreate your lifeworld. It is quite natural that a person...
I always find formulations like this very suspicious. How do you provide a biospsychosocial explanation—or any other explanation, for that...
Good paper, thanks Tom. It is interesting to notice that they mention encephalitis lethargica in the review. It is a neurological illness that...
If the authors of the commentary pray hard enough, maybe the Cochrane review will disappear by divine intervention! ;)
Thanks for posting this study overview. Regionshospitalet Silkeborg is located in Denmark.
I think it is unlikely that ME/CFS is caused by a persistent viral or bacterial infection, but that we shouldn’t completely rule this possibility...
Another way of phrasing “catastrophic thinking predicts fatigue in IBD” is “negative thoughts because you have a chronic illness with distressing...
That surprises me. It seems that impedance measurements of cells is a standard method for cell analysis. Low-frequency (less than 1 kHz) and...
This issue raises another question: How do you verify the validity of diagnostic criteria when there is no gold standard? Reliability means that...
It took three years before I got a diagnosis of ME/CFS. Doctors I met before that often tried to reassure me with comments such as "don't worry"...
I think the authors have misunderstood the term “multisystem illness”. It is not a strictly medical term but is used in the IOM/NAM report to...
The issue was never mind–body dualism or the distinction between psychiatric and somatic illness. That statement is a red herring repeated...
Swedish Myalgisk encefalomyelit/Kroniskt trötthetssyndrom (both the English acronym ME/CFS and the Swedish ME/KTS are used). Note that "trötthet"...
Thank you, Michiel, for bringing the subject up and thank you for providing the list. I would like to rephrase point 1. All confirmative studies...
The paperback version is not sold any more, and the reviews were there. When you search bokus.com, you now only find the audio version and the...
Proponents of a biopsychosocial view of ME/CFS don’t respond well to criticism. Last autumn, Dr. Jörgen Malmquist published a book on ME/CFS in...
Separate names with a comma.
