You can keep up with all your speculations, as long as you cite studies with no control group or mathematical model, that's all it is: speculation.

I guess there are differences between standing and lying MRIs in healthy people too. Is there a study comparing EDS (the example given in the tweet) patients and healthy control's supine and upright MRIs?

Oh dear, the Russian bots were missing from this story, thanks Mickael for adding them. How many times has this guy retired from ME research ? Seems like he needs an announcement each year.

Is it only for people from the UK or can everybody participate?

Sigh... It's always the same. As long as they haven't proven any causal link between these thoughts and the symptoms, this will be pointless. How does this past the test of peer review? This is more telling aout the current state of "scientific" psychology than anything.

Phew... Reading the title, I thought that was going to be yet another article accusing us of being science deniers!

They're part of it in the sense that they tell us, that, maybe, there might be something of interest here. That's all. And all this should be verified with scientific tools. I've seen hundreds of these theories proposed for ME, based on observation, speculation and self experiment, some...

But... This is nonsense. How could that mean something? They can't be serious.

Yes, some claim they are better when they are not really, but some claim to have been cured months later. So the analogy stands.

Read carefully what I wrote, I'm not talking about the surgeons.

No but it can wrongly convince a patient that they have CCI, based on nothing of value, and this patient will present this weak evidence to their doctor, and that will not be helpful at all, quite the contrary, it may make them appear irrational and turn their doctor against them. And I see...

And official guidelines refering to this consensus...

Yes, there is a strong problem here that has never been addressed. CCI/AAI is an official diagnosis, recognised by mainstream medicine. Why do people have to fly to Spain to get treatment?

I've spent my life getting cold after cold since the age of 7/8. During winter, the years prior to te onset, it was often a kind of long, uninterrupted cold.

Great letter. If I may, I would just change that: I think your letter would be stronger if you remain more neutral.

prevent from warning? Sorry English is not my first language.

So does that prevent to warn that surgery for CFS is not evidence based? Edit: change for clarity

With all due respect, this doesn't make sense at all. Rituximab & surgery are not easily accessible treatments. They are both potentialy dangerous and none of them should be advertised as long as they have not been tested properly.
