He's a pretty good, Stanford-educated one. Why ad hominem instead of addressing the point? Xi = C + Yi => delta = Y.
I wouldn't limit myself to the agents recommended for ME/CFS either. I started taking Sudafed to relieve the head pressure that comes with my PEM....
My 2 cents. There is too big a gap between "mild", defined as being able to hold full time job but not much else, and "moderate" defined as being...
One possibility to consider is that the treatment actually works for a few. I'm not a fan of "subtypes" as that is often used as an excuse for...
The point is though, that "structural" change is happening without somatic modification or intention, hence it is functional. The problem occurs...
Yes, that's why some people get dizzy when they put on a new pair of glasses. Worse-than-expected vision is not one of them, I don't think....
That still doesn't explain why my vision automatically worsens when I put on the glasses. Consider this functional possibility: I had been wearing...
How did we ever live without AI for so long? Thanks for digging that out, that thought also occurred to me. It still doesn't explain why my vision...
So, it sounds like you are saying there is no legit functional disorder. Is that right? I'll have to differ in that case. There indeed are cases...
I'll have to disagree with "is universally used" if you mean there is no (legit FND cases,) legit diagnosis and legit treatments. Otherwise, it...
I meant to say "legit functional cases". Would you call it sound evidence if the problem can be fixed via non-physical means such as CBT or...

They first say dualistic approach is misguided, and then they say everything is dualistic ("everything is physical and psychological"). It sounds...
Noted. I was impressed on her progress, but I can see it being diagnosis. The point taken.
I'm impressed with her progress. I didn't see sluggishness in her motion or lethargy in her expression, and she's in good humor. Best wishes for...
An option for "I sleep better" would be nice. I use physical exertion as sleep aid. Whenever I had difficulty falling asleep, I get up and do 2x8...
Yeah, that might have been me. I use the term "intensity" to denote speed/weight, and "duration" for distance/time. It seems to me that the...
Today, I'm suffering from what I've been calling post-high crash. I found nicotine patch still lying around on my desk and wanted to find out if...
I don't know about others, but a "skeptic" always makes me pay attention to what he has to say. There are a few people/posts on this forum that...
Thank you for the info, Murph. That generally agrees with my experience as well. I had never been able to improve my walk either. But I've noted...
