I just listened to this. Overall, I thought it was encouraging. But "post Lyme syndrome" suggests to me the kids he plays with, and I thought it...
Many of us thought he sounded committed to trying to understand ME/CFS, too. :(
I recently had tests ordered that seemed to have this sort of platelet assay in mind, or something similar. The tests included Thrombotic Risk...
Why is this kind of thinking allowed? Aside from cost-cutting benefits, why have functional anything, somatic anything, this gruesome psych...
I can almost hear Rod Serling now: ...the middle ground between light and shadow... between science and superstition...an area that we...
Different strains and species (I guess species is not a thing with viruses?) pose a real conundrum in many parts of medicine. Not just in terms of...
Manage rumination? Who are these people??
You said no causes were included for three conditions. I spent 5 minutes googling the two largest and highest regarded medical references in the...
Yes, I'm sadly familiar with the concept of corrupt science. And you're right that prevalence or popularity does not necessarily mean good...
Two of the most common sources for clinicians in the US are the CDC and NIH: https://www.cdc.gov/psoriasis/index.htm...

The loop I refer to is the loop of a vaguely defined/described disease that - when we try to get more specific and realistic about the symptoms...
And there's the loop. I'm suggesting breaking out of the loop, simply with some rewording. All within the confines of Science. I wouldn't want it...
It's how that concept is qualified that I am trying to call attention to. Most of us really knows the descriptions of ME/CFS are at best anemic....
Idea. An approach based on an idea.
Dementors? :) We've lots of smart advocates over the years, and I applaud their efforts. We still shoulder the burden of crap descriptions of...
Wording. If you're asking me to fix it now, I no longer have the skill. But I know that how we are currently conveying things is a slow endless...
The present set can be, and frequently is, interpreted as "the aches and pains of every day life". These facts fail to convey degree. The present...
Were that only true. Nods. Neither is crafting definitions that are ambiguous or, worse, misleading. Lingering fatigue anyone?
Well, yes. But isn't this somewhat misleading? Perhaps "a history of known infection", or "symptomatic infection" may be more accurate - and more...
Separate names with a comma.
