If this thing turns into an appeal to authority contest (which it very well might, if showing facts and data was enough we wouldn't be in this...
The people here thinking 10 man studies will get us anywhere have some serious wishful thinking. The truth is, if a study doesn't have at least...
In simple terms: build the marketing around the mild patients, pretend the severe ones don't exist. Water down the diagnostic criteria to include...
These people think any chronic illness is the patient's fault. They just don't say it because it's politically incorrect and would really hurt...
If productivity doesn't increase with more funding and staff it means the incentive structure is broken.
This is purely a marketing move. The psych lobby knew that therapy had to be changed to go mainstream. Psychoanalysis didn't truly fit their needs...
It reminds me of a psychiatrist who told me my illness had to be psychosomatic because "statistically it's much more likely for you to have...
I didn't mean to say that people like JE or Pointing don't care, apologies. What I meant is that for every person who is by our side there is an...
"literally nobody" was a way of saying. Clearly that's not true, there's a very small minority of researchers and doctors who do care. But then...
To be clear, i like that they are using AI to study fatigue. What i don't like is that 1) they go with the obvious BS narrative that a doctor...
This is a bad faith argument because there has been radio silence on severe ME by doctors for over 40 years. Let's assume that the issue really...
What I'm saying is that we already know the specifics of fatigue in severe ME, and literally nobody cares. PEM and complete inability to exert...
I'm sorry but the whole premise of this study is disingenuous and preposterous. The idea that doctors can't distinguish different types of fatigue...
There's a POTS clinic where i live. The head cardiologist insists that exercise is a treatment and has published studies on it. When patients say...
I often quote POTS to show how dysfunctional medicine is. It's an illness with objective symptoms and a diagnostic test, yet nobody takes it...
We have known stress can affect the immune system for a long time, but wasting disabled people's time, energy and money with useless psycho-social...
I mean, most people would consider schizophrenia a disease. A very severe and cruel one, at that. There is a reason it was called "Dementia...
Maybe they should rename themselves to "closed medicine foundation". If we don't publish negative results we will keep running in circles forever.
I'm fairly certain that in my case the healing cycle is broken. I'm young, in my 20s, and yet it took me 8 months to recover from a lumbar...
They did. Schizophrenia GWAS identified an immune cause, but because the illness is triggered during development you would have to treat people...
