It was Freud's conversion disorder, innit.
I don't think WHO coding (and things based off it) work that way. My understanding is that legacy wins out until there's conclusive evidence...
Very interesting. Given what we know, hypertension could be undiagnosed OI, abnormal liver function or urinalysis isn't uncommon (it depends how...
I imagine many of us would fail a Romberg. I know I have.
Gotcha. That makes perfect sense. Hopefully the new guideline will help with this, too.
It's heartening, at least, that they compared to three criteria and had specialists assess each person who was deemed likely to have the illness....
I think tradition plays a big role too. If it's always been listed as a psychiatric illness, then the legacy category would presumably stay in...
Some people have still used the one-day CPET to prove functional impairment in disability cases, etc. It almost doesn't matter what the cause is...
Interesting. I think we need more research into commonplace devices which can be used to assess symptoms. They don't have to be biomarkers, but...
I mean, you earn points by doing so, and get discounted gym membership! Who doesn't want to give all that data for cheaper gyms?! Sounds about...
#MEAction's survey of specialists was much the same. They preferred CCC and IOM, perhaps because they produce more homogeneous patient groups, or...
Ah. That makes more sense. But it's still short of a cure.
So by 24 weeks there wasn't much of an improvement, whereas at 12 there was a little more? Doesn't that rather suggest the effects wear off quickly?
More to the point, the DSQ misses important factors that are more useful than things like 'feeling drained after minimum exercise'. I quite like...
They're part of Prudential. I had to take life insurance when I bought my house, and I (sadly) receive their magazine every now and then. You get...
My bad. Got mixed up following the thread. It was the #MEAction survey and I was wrong. Will correct above.
I thought the sample activity diary was out of touch with what I, as a person on the milder end who evidently does quite a lot already, can do. I...
If this can be extrapolated to adults, we'd have 500,000 sick people with ME in the UK!
Dissociation is usually linked to trauma. It's an 'escape from reality in the face of intense emotional pain' thing, allegedly.
Yes, in terms of an explanation, it was all over the place. She seems to be saying there's a 'neuropsych' element and an 'immune' element, but she...
Separate names with a comma.
