You raise excellent points. From my clinical experience working in NHS chronic pain clinic for > 3 years if it were true that veterans were...
Really interesting to see this type of work being published. Too many pw ME, and other conditions being misdiagnosed.
Hmmm what does this tell us about the beliefs of researchers and clinicans who believe in concepts like MUS Cheap research telling no one anything.
I echo this. I think they have been very quiet of late. It's making me wonder if the messages are getting through or if they are scheming away...
I think that would have been a really interesting and helpful discussion to have had with pain physician/physio to talk through your experience....

Doing the above behaviours is what the human will do to preserve loss (face, professional identity) etc when they know they are wrong and lack the...
From a psychologist's perspective - my understanding of GET and it's underlying rationale. GET is aimed at increasing physical activity despite...
Most pwME are frustrated, fed up and pissed off. Not clinically depressed (and that as a construct is pretty shaky). If patients are given...
In a word yes. They believe psychological trauma causes patients to malfunction so that they misinterprete benign bodily sensations as being signs...
