I agree with Trish that very severe ME/CFS is the appropriate label. There does not appear to be any structural or permanent damage to tissue but...
That always used to be the main point of specialist clinics - to see what the diagnosis actually was! The idea that you can only refer patients...
Strawberry belongs to rosaceae rather than solanaceae. I don't know of any reason why either family should particularly lead to a histamine...
But are they? What I see is pressure to expand the same old model of 'multidisciplinary care in the community'.
I think it is simpler. The ICC criteria are just made up on the basis of various bees that the committee members had in their bonnets at the time....

I am quite sure there is reality, but we can only know it and describe it in terms of maths and our internal representational language. Why would...
Right, and all quantitative information is known to us in qualia terms. If I read 7.3 on my pressure gauge that 7.3 is known to me through qualia...
I have lost the plot of what you are trying to argue ion the last post @poetinsf . I have been saying that qualia are encoded in inputs to...
I don't think so. An autoantibody causing an illness will have clear hallmark clinical expression that does not overlap anyhow with other...
Or it might make them worse, I guess. Not sure why this is considered news.
I don't think it is plausible that autoantibodies cause symptoms in post Covid illness. If 'Long Covid' was due to an autoantibody it would be...
That looks very unfortunate and ill-informed. There are no known serious neurological or cardiological dysfunctions that define ME. This harks...
Not that I know of. I think I missed it in 2018. Telomere exhaustion is potentially interesting in chronic illness but I am not sure what to make...
Sabine is very engaging and good at putting the paradoxes as seen by the brand popular science community. But I think, like that community, she...
Yes, that is roughly it. In the Everett inspired many worlds theory worlds are constantly splitting into an infinite number of options. That seems...
Like Trish, I don't think we are really at odds over this. But I don't honestly see the need for more than one professional other than a...
Why do we need a suite of therapists if therapists do not understand the illness? Wouldn't it be better to have a single dedicated professional...
But that is not what I am saying. I didn't put 'the' in scare quotes but I see it as a very real contribution to making the situation worse rather...
I am not aware of any 'deterministic quantum theories' now available? Quantum theory has equations that give probabilities between 0 and 1 for...
