I can take 6 months just to recover from regular flu. The medical record seems to indicate even 5 years is possible, though rare, if you look at...
There is a problem in society where localized accounting can show things are great, while overall things are worse, or things are better in...
Traditionally medical problems were divided into structural and functional. A functional disorder was often a biochemical disorder, and there were...
There you go, the book I was once going to write summed up in a sentence. "Embracing Uncertainty" was a very deliberate title for me.
I think Dr David Bell ran a small study looking at 10 recovered CFS patients (that is what he was calling it back then if I recall correctly)....
Does anyone know if they consider those with ME to be eligible?
I think so too, but the problem is diagnostic criteria. Its less clear ME is the issue when the severity is very mild, so many may go undiagnosed....
Or it could be an expert system. The old expert systems worked using pattern matching, so if there is a comment made that it has a rule for it...
I also know of one case where they turned to alternatives, including alcohol and street drugs. If someone in chronic pain needs strong pain...
Going back to maybe the 90s, at the time they found lesions in ME patients resembling AIDS dementia, but the lesions were not constant, they...
That has been my position for 30 years now. Its a nonsense description, confusing and conflating the underlying issues.
They don't even seem to get a basic list of symptoms for CFS right. There are many red flags here. The mood changes in particular seem to be from...
This is the kind of thing they tell patients in very early dementia. It helps the brain retrain a little. It does nothing for underlying causes of...
Almost certainly just generic advice. Its what they tell many people with many different conditions. We don't have a clue turns to give general...
I wonder if LC patients have trouble with alcohol as often as we do. If so the no alcohol is a no brainer. (Pun intended, kind of.) These...
Its probably only useful to establish an hypothesis, but as more and more are studied with similar findings then it might be considered a...
We have been discussing this stuff on forums for decades, you probably know much of it already. I might try to listen later.
Depending on timelines it does not look like they are the first to find overlaps between ME and LC. They may however be the first to investigate...
This raises the possibility, which has been noted before, that ME like symptoms might arise due to failure to fully clear a pathogen, even if...
I am treating it as an interesting initial study. It needs replication in a larger group, and probably a whole lot of other things. Yet such...
Separate names with a comma.
