    Guardian: Long Covid is very far from ‘all in the mind’ – but psychology can still help us treat it - by Carmine M Pariante, April 2021

    I think this is what you are looking for : https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p09dw1l8 They really don't make it easy to find! I haven't looked for the particular segment of the program involving Pariante.

    BPS attempts at psychologizing Long Covid

    I would say people are turned away from A&E because the number of people that doctors will believe about anything invisible gets smaller and smaller all the time, particularly if the person reporting a problem is female and talking about themselves, or is female and talking about a child.

    Guardian: Long Covid is very far from ‘all in the mind’ – but psychology can still help us treat it - by Carmine M Pariante, April 2021

    This point is made over and over again and whoever expresses it is always being dishonest, in my opinion. The whole notion just glides right past the issue that patients with ME, IBS, fibromyalgia have - that people with cancer get treated for their symptoms with physical resources, i.e...

    The relationship between psychosocial trauma type and conversion (functional neurological) disorder symptoms: a cross-sectional study, 2021, Morsy

    I wonder if the authors investigated trauma which arises from being diagnosed with conversion disorder/functional disorder and having none of your symptoms actually investigated.

    BPS attempts at psychologizing Long Covid

    An unimpressive article from the BBC on LongCovid clinics (one in Croydon is mentioned). Inside a long Covid clinic: 'I want to play with my kids again' It would appear that GET is the only game in town.

    The methodological quality of 176,620 randomized controlled trials published between 1966 and 2018 (...), Vinkers et al, 2021

    High-dose Oral Thiamine Vs Placebo for Chronic Fatigue in Patients With Quiescent Inflammatory Bowel Disease, 2021, Bager et al

    I wondered what high dose actually meant. Turns out it is between 600mg and 1800mg per day. I've come across the lower of those two doses before in other contexts, but never anything higher. I've come across thiamine being suggested as a treatment for low energy in people with hypothyroidism...

    Symptoms of Covid-19

    I'm sure everyone has heard that Covid-19 can lead to people losing their sense of smell. Apparently one sufferer lost hers for 11 months and then regained it - and discovered that she can no longer stand the way her fiance smells. https://www.indy100.com/news/covid-aroma-fiance-b1834336
