Thank you for keeping up with all these.

Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire. [sound of someone scrunching up paper and dropping it in the bin]

I've tried to see how this compares with the asymmetrical results found in 'Glymphatic system dysfunction in recovered patients with mild COVID-19: A DTI-ALPS study' https://www.cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S2589-0042(23)02724-4 but it's too many words for me Forum thread here...

Which frontbenchers have indicated that they might resign?

I mean in the ME Association piece.

yikes

“[The media] presented long Covid as an unequivocal pathological result of a viral infection. [A psychosomatic] cause wasn’t even touched on." This obvious untruth alone ought to get her laughed out of any serious discussion. But instead she does the rounds of podcasts and promotional...

Just got some routine blood test results so I've added my vote (for 1-2). Previous tests 3 months into Long Covid: CRP was 2, eosinophils high, plasma viscosity high, everything else tested was within normal ranges. Recent tests 3 years into Long Covid: CRP is 1, eosinophils still high, plasma...

Possible in my case, I suppose, but I certainly wasn't aware of anything. (The only thing I can think of, looking back, is that I had seen the GP a few months pre-Covid infection about some pain I was having around the area of one kidney, but tests showed nothing to worry about, they said it was...

Kind of thing you'd get if you asked a chatbot to generate a paper and then to translate it into English, perhaps. The corresponding author's details are:

But you'd still have to account for the people who don't fit this pattern, who were in good health and busily active before Covid but then develop disabling Long Covid.

At least, in that cohort, the finding that “Despite ongoing shortness of breath and/or fatigue, affected individuals took as many steps as they did before infection” is yet another nail to bang into the coffin of the BPS "fear of activity"/deconditioning model.

I do hope the government spokesperson was simply asked for a generic comment on a Long Covid story. If they were asked to comment specifically on a story about someone who is bedbound and too sick even to see their children, and responded by saying that people like this should be in work, it...

Doctors' unions wanted the public to support them when they went on strike, citing patient safety. It would be nice to think that they might speak out in return now.

They are in the land of pure imagination here, pure fantasy.

Where do you even start addressing this hogwash.
