Right, because regular people without non-epileptic attacks have no stress or previous experience of trauma, i.e. something outside their control...
That (entirely bogus in my view) claim comes from a crappy study by Newton which classified someone as misdiagnosed with ME/CFS if the person was...
The vitamin D / latitude idea has been around for a while. I am not aware of any evidence from controlled trials that vitamin D cures or halts any...
I didn't say those symptoms are part of ME. I was questioning the notion that someone couldn't have epilepsy AND ME. If someone has had ME for 30...
I bet almost none of us have had such million dollar work-ups. Where would a regular doctor even know to begin to look? I suspect "rare diseases"...
He mentions one patient having Parkinson's. Its symptoms and presentation are completely different. Don't see why that would preclude someone from...
Very weak article. First of all, none of those tweets are 'abusive' or threatening. Being rude is not a criminal offence (yet). These 'professors'...

Good news IMO. Implies that nothing is structurally wrong with the mitochondria per se. Likely to be a signalling problem telling them to slow...
Mirtazapine is one of the most fatiguing antidepressants. Possibly the most fatiguing there is. It's a great drug to use if you're trying to make...
Medically unexplained doesn't mean medically unexplainable. Just because medical science doesn't yet understand something, it doesn't mean it's...
I couldn't get past the first sentence to be honest.
These sorts of "yuppie flu" headlines will continue forever unless patient organisations start pushing back with complaints to authorities or even...
Me too. Cortisol and adrenaline probably.
Lots of psychotherapy trials use this design because it makes it exceedingly easy to show a statistically significant result in favour of 'therapy'.
That's not a control group. This is a waiting list comparator arm, a useless trial design. A true control group would force these patients to get...
Sorry to hear that. I didn't realise an old thread had been resurrected, just saw the dates now.
Hi @Justy, I too have experienced pseudobulbar affect, though not quite to the same degree of severity as what you've described. One of the old...
Separate names with a comma.
