Yes, but mostly managing children/adolescents. The unit at UCL largely deals with severe cases I think. At least in the past patients have been...
I suspect the clinicians involved will have considerable experience of severe ME/CFS. Anna Gregorowski certainly does. She deals with severe young...
What I think it means is that ECT is still considered worth using if a previous course fails to produce lasting remission - fails in that sense....
No it does not, because all the normal antibodies would have gone down too. You could equally say that it demonstrates an association between...
But the problem we have is that nobody knows, surely. And if each person is different no general account can be given. Moreover, we know little or...
So basically he was bullshitting ad lib. If the MEA want any credibility then they should know that setting up an open label working group with...
I am pretty sure that it is not just an odd case. I have reason to think that the advice to stay lying flat has been given to large numbers of...
I am not sure about that. Patients needing feeding have been told that they need to be fed flat so that they do not suffer reduction in brain...
I don't understand what is going on here. Very few people are too ill to be moved unless they are on a ventilator and unstable. There may also...
I think that is particularly relevant. My interest in this is to distinguish the need for respite or rest in ME/CFS from the need in conditions...
No, you have it right but this is the same old cross-reactivity story that has been around since Robin Coombs in 1960 for rheumatic fever that by...
It sounds as if they are just tracking the artefacts of immune diseases in mice that probably bear no relation to human disease. I find this sort...
I am reminded of that quote from Bertrand Russell 'If the gentleman at the back has not understood what I have been saying it is not necessarily...
I wasn't aware of that. Maybe it often gets called something else.
Sounds a bit like 6 blind men arranging to meet with a virtual white elephant to me. I wouldn't discourage trying to get more agreement on...
My impression is that the journalist didn't really have much idea of what she was being told, tried to repeat it but got a lot of it a bit...
There may well be but it is hard to know what on earth that would mean. Cytokines released in association with cancer may shift traffic in all...
I agree, but I am wary of lumping MECFS in with other 'post-infective' states. One thing that strikes me is that if you have a moderately severe...
I think we need to be careful about what we know here. Maybe one person in five has long-lasting fatigue after Covid - maybe for three months or...
We have discussed the uncertain relation between a viral 'trigger' and ME/CFS for a good while but I must admit that my current scepticism was in...
Separate names with a comma.
