They probably understand that if you keep using the same system, it effectively is accurate. The scores don't need to be absolute, they only need...
Why categorise less than 30 minutes' activity as an adaptation? Nobody would call it that or understand it as such. Why not just 'no'? As for the...
Thanks, that was what I was thinking. If people are told this, any who have enough experience to be aware they'd only received a smallish dose...
Yep. The fact that doing activity has disproportionate consequences is pretty much a definition of ME.
This is too confusing to parse. Adaptations could be considered separately at the beginning. As it is, I'd have to indicate repeatedly that my...
I don't think I was really aware it existed. Maybe the first thing to do is to see if the wiki will accept a note saying the page is in the...
If any of them are ladies my age, showing them a glass of water is enough to make them desperate for a pee! But seriously, are there problems...
And where there is no treatment, it's moot anyway. We have nothing that would allow a substantial proportion of patients to increase their...
It starts from a place of deep prejudice, so it's not surprising it's alive and kicking. In my early teens I actually thought I'd witness the end...
Probably only two things, really. The age of the doctor doesn't matter. I was diagnosed 25 years ago by someone who was well into in his 70s...
And unwieldy PROMs that don't actually capture anything meaningful do? :whistle:
I think malaise does it reasonably well, and post-exertional malaise does it better because it's more specific. I wouldn't have picked it myself,...
It was great for me, even though I had a rough time! If you've struggled for 30-odd years with endometriosis, the day your periods stop is a...
An aside, but the funny thing is that when we find something really works the evidence will be hard to capture in graphable form. Years ago I...
I'm still hoping they come to understand that questionnaires should never be filled in whilst the patient is in a clinic. If they're sitting...
It'd be hilarious if someone asked whether "hysterical projection, catastrophising, conspiracy theories, overt hostility and insults" counted as...
Yeah, much the same. My cycle stopped at age 45, and 20 years later I still have symptoms. My 88 year-old nan once informed me cheerfully that...
They don't usually test at all, really. It's a fair assumption that if you're a certain age, hormone levels will be changing. I'd have been...
I agree, but they can sometimes be useful in this context. I'm of an age where nearly all the women I know have now gone through menopause, and...
I thought about this earlier, but is it the best way to go? As I understand it (and to be fair I don't), one of the values in these tools is that...
Separate names with a comma.
