What’s the big horror about understanding many features of long covid as likely part of a functional disorder? The appalling consequences when the diagnosis, and consequent 'treatment', is wrong. Which is a very good explanation for people's anger and despair and fear at being given...

For me it is unavoidable. I have to push the boundaries every day just for daily chores and necessities, let alone anything optional/recreational/indulgent.

Nice work, @Caroline Struthers. :emoji_slight_smile: Fingers crossed. :emoji_fingers_crossed:

I am concerned that LC patients are not understanding how medical science works and why there are no treatments, and that pushing too hard too early for them is unlikely to end well. Medical science has a lot to answer for over their gross long-standing mismanagement, and worse, of LC and...

I broadly agree that the word/concept of trauma is being seriously misused, to the point of becoming meaningless in many situations. But I don't think it is misused in the context of what the medical profession has done to us, and which apparently more than a few of them wish to continue right...

Nice work. Thanks. :thumbup: Do agree with the comments about the unhelpfulness of citing the WHO classification as neurological. But it does not alter the basic facts you have presented about how the mishandling of ME/CFS has been completely botched by the psychosomatic club, to the point of...

Rules are only meaningful if they are enforced.

And to have to keep doing it for the same issue, again and again and again....

This. A major clue that has, so far, largely been ignored.

'New research shows younger & middle-aged adults have worse long COVID symptoms than older adults' I wonder if that is because older people are less physically active than younger/middle-aged people, and if that is some way is protective, especially in the critical early phase. Maybe older...

The political and economic elite are looking for excuses to cut budgets, and they don't give a flying fig about the human cost. As I have been saying for years, the psychosomatic club could not have got away with their blatant perfidy without ongoing support and protection from the rest of the...

All your agency belongs to us.

If there was something wrong with your body, that was unexplained and persistently causing you serious troubles (including unpleasant sensations like substantial pain and fatigue and brain fog and unstable haemodynamics, and a whole lot of others), and generally seriously disrupting your life...

Further research is needed The most common and reproduced scientific finding of all time.

Still stuck on the 'fatigue' thing. Plus the relabelling of GET as pacing. Don't expect much better from the BBC, to be honest. They have long been captured by the BPS school, via the SMC.

Self-generated Rorschach? And about as meaningful and useful.

:thumbup:

OVER A QUARTER OF UC MIGRATIONS HAVE FAILED SO FAR :mad: That is real and already difficult human lives these clowns are playing their shitty political bureaucratic games with.

Interestingly, one of the main findings of the DECODE genetic study is liver dysfunction (plus insulin resistance and low level inflammation), and liver problems are one of the main suspects for raised ALP levels.
