I have no idea whether the two questionnaires are related (the one in this link is 15), however having read the following paper which includes Sharpe, Stone, Carson saying that the PHQ 15 doesn't identify people with unexplained symptoms better than chance I thought I'd do a quick google in case...

Post moved from this thread Somatic symptom count scores do not identify patients with symptoms unexplained by disease: a prospective cohort study of neurology outpatients - PubMed (nih.gov) Alan J Carson, Jon Stone, Christian Holm Hansen, Rod Duncan, Jonathon Cavanagh, Keith Matthews, G...

I have no idea whether the two questionnaires are related (as this one is 9 questions, the one in this link is 15), however having read the followign paper which includes SHarpe, Stone, Carson saying that the PHQ 15 doesn't identify people with unexplained symptoms better than chance I thought...

OK so reference 51 (from the list after the sterilisation being more common line) is: Cohort study on somatoform disorders in Parkinson disease and dementia with Lewy bodies | Neurology in its abstract the conclusion is: the methods (so you have a sense of what the research was, and who/which...

I couldn't help but notice that when looking at the abstract for this in the Journal of Neurology (couldn't find a full text) the following paper from 2019 was one of the ones highlighted underneath it as 'articles others are also reading': The misdiagnosis of functional disorders as other...

and the second reference from this batch seems to be to me another 'funny little one' that could indicate a divisive agenda, and includes Stone, Carson and Sharpe on its list of authors: Which neurological diseases are most likely to be associated with "symptoms unexplained by organic disease" -...

I'm currently looking up the range of papers that got listed after the sterilisation suggestion (it alarmed me so much - and made me think of it being like when lots of people with ME got diagnosed with depression first it got claimed by some that indicated that was a common comorbidity rather...

Has someone else mentioned the obvious of the gender differences in the groups? And whether they varied the size of what was being ‘gripped’ to hand size given men’s hands are generally larger. It’s pretty hard to exert the same pressure when you can barely get your hand around an instrument and...

The thing is all this makes even me confused to remember the original date they got sent the petition it would be good to have ‘what anniversary it is’ of that date in particular (eg six months, 7 months and so on) added to eg any things we might circulate to remind people / highlight exactly...

It's also sad to watch so many people who might think a lot of themselves being so incapable of growth and change. I suspect there is a power / market / competition structure issue going on here. One thing I've noticed is that there are a few 'old names' who have made businesses for themselves...

Here is the other silly thing. If we suggest there were just two problem sectors that are contributing to this. You have the psychiatrists/liaison psychiatry (which I'm starting to see from social media is a real problem area/source) and those who are unable to answer back to them or referring...

Very good point to bring up. I often think that having chucked us into the terminology of the mental health/rehab realm where 'recovery' is used and means a very dodgy version of what it actually means is now an issue that needs to be fixed. The terminology matters as it drives how things are...

It's not just PEM but I think what gets failed to be emphasised is the cumulative nature. And how a good way to create a deterioration is to just uplift your output, probably exactly by doing all the tricks on 'energy levels' and maxxing them out, and saying yes instead of no and the like -...

in fact on that last para - where people think claiming ‘they had a belief [that instead of being ill and needing treatment as per guidelines these people had false beliefs and needed to have their freedom removed and physical needs ignored]’ is valid. well to me isn’t THAT the line where said...

It is very sad because if you think for example about the common connection/source of ME/CFS being EBV/glandular fever. It feels one that medicine could easily have been properly working on over the last however many decades? I think some people mention now that there are actually antivirals...

I think the issue is the gap in expertise. People were foolish to think that allowing the old staff - who had the opposite of expertise and needed de-programming of their false beliefs before not just learning knowledge but critical thinking and science etc - in place. And letting them...

the therapists who won't learn about the condition dead-headedly insisting they get to be the one planning someone's life intimately because they know better. It is just the madness of the mindset.

Well no it sounds like just as they destroyed psychology and mental health proper from moving forward to move it into transdiagnostics they can throw any old thing at to ‘calm and control the people’ so they are wanting to move into medicine not doing diagnostics this is all about an allergy to...

According to what they would claim is involved with psychosomatic (expectations) makes no logical sense. those without a test will be those who anticipated when they got ill that there would be no need for a test because all will as per a cold be fine after a few days of sniffles and those who...

And it appears they’ve persuaded RCP that’s ok people are happy to harm us as long as the situation allows them to not have to face up to what they did or take responsibility for it
