    BMJ Management of post-acute Covid-19 in primary care, 2020, Greenhalgh et al

    I don't understand this. How can someone whose covid-19 was managed in the community have a persistent abnormal chest x-ray if the same article recommends chest x-ray only at 12 weeks? And "subsequent early referral to pulmonary rehabilitation probably aids recovery"? Obviously my definition...

    Evidence-Based Practice for the Clinical Assessment of Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures, 2020, Baslet et al

    My emphasis. That is absolutely extraordinary in a really, really sick way. It seems that the "everyone is mentally ill except me" cohort can weaponise anything and use it as a reason to dump people in the mental health dustbin.

    Sleeping in hot weather

    I would never do that. I tried counting sheep in my teens and developed an obsessive problem with counting that lasted a few months. Luckily the problem went away on its own, but it can still develop occasionally out of the blue. When it happens I get worried that it won't go away, but so far it...

    New Video: The PACE trial - Politics

    Are the claims of harassment still being made after the FOI tribunal said that they were grossly exaggerated?

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    I don't know if this is propaganda or not. Based on the comments it's not very popular, that's for sure. Title : The future is ‘CLEAR’ and it’s Dystopian: Virus hype ushers in a Covid 19-84 nightmare of restricted access Link : https://www.rt.com/op-ed/497272-clear-health-pass-covid-dystopian/

    Trial By Error: CBT and Irritable Bowel Syndrome

    This tweet (from post #135) obviously didn't go down well - it's already been deleted. Edit : I meant the link within the tweet, not the tweet itself. Sorry!

    A Low Glutamate Diet Improves Cognitive Functioning in Veterans with Gulf War Illness, 2020, Kirkland et al.

    @mariovitali I take NAC as well. As an ex-heavy smoker - I stopped over 10 years ago - I find it hard to clear out my lungs. NAC thins out the mucus and allows it to be coughed up which must reduce the risk of me getting respiratory infections, while also improving my breathing and making me...

    A Low Glutamate Diet Improves Cognitive Functioning in Veterans with Gulf War Illness, 2020, Kirkland et al.

    I don't understand the connection or the relationship between glutamine, glutamate, and glutathione. People have tried to explain it to me before but it just doesn't penetrate. I took L-glutamine powder for quite a long time (a couple of years) and found it very helpful for reducing apparent...

    New draft NICE guidelines for chronic pain emphasises exercise, CBT and acupuncture over medication

    According to another link I've just read on Pulse Today : UK medicines regulator 'will consider' ban on over-the-counter codeine So, it would appear that NICE is at war with anyone in pain. Don't get sick. You'll just have to suffer.

    Webcast: (Medically Unexplained) Physical Symptoms: A Scientist Practitioner Approach June 8 Trudie Chalder

    The way I get access to Pulse articles is : a) delete cookies for the site b) then reload the page c) Every time you change page you have to do this again, so I hardly ever read Pulse as a result because it's irritating. I use Firefox. I just click on the padlock in the web address for the...

    ‘Disgusting’ study rating attractiveness of women with endometriosis retracted by medical journal (2020)

    I had both kinds of endometriosis - maybe they would have included me in one group on a bad hair day and in the other group on a good hair day.

    Pain catastrophizing is associated with the Val66Met polymorphism of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor in fibromyalgia, da Silveira Alves , 2020

    Do the people who write this kind of research not understand how humans work? Are they cyborgs or androids who don't understand what it is like to be human? Fatigue : Being in pain is exhausting Body stiffness : If someone has a sore shoulder (for example) they won't move it as much or as...

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    Wasn't there a phase in reporting of deaths in the UK where every death in social care and every death in hospital had Covid-19 included as a cause, even if the patient hadn't been tested? Or did I just imagine that?

    New draft NICE guidelines for chronic pain emphasises exercise, CBT and acupuncture over medication

    Very good point which could also apply to aspirin and paracetamol which are also not going to be prescribed any more courtesy of this guideline.

    I don't know her. Is she shopping-bag woman? Her grinning picture, in the context of this guideline, is enough to make me want to punch her repeatedly.
