This is such a difficult one. When I was running a local support group I struggled to find a good way to discuss this with newbies. I think the...
Interesting. My wife took 3 weeks to recover from her first AZ jab.
Thanks @MEMarge ! It's getting hard to hit the right keys on my Amazon Fire, then autocorrect takes over!
One of my pet projects was to get both the NEC and the NIHR to be more transparent etc, but I'll say more when I'm back home and my eyes have been...
I have vented my spleen and knocked out a reply to CDC, purely from a personal point of view. I need to go through it properly and check that it...
Thanks. I understand your comments, @Trish , but two things bother me. The first is that if I had come to this fresh, knowing nothing of the...
I'm late into this and would like some advice please. I haven't been able yet to read through previous comments, and the content of the report is...
I have just started to read the document, and after a few pages had a look at the references. There are a worrying number of studies with names of...
Clear, concise and can't think of a clever word beginning with "c" to say that it was- paced just about perfectly. I'd certainly put it on my...

Thanks Simon! One aspect that also needs to be addressed though is the lack of transparency of both the MRC and NIHR when it comes to "planning"...
And I thought that running etc. was too high impact because we, who wear shoes, hit the ground with our heels, potentially causing a build-up of...
I knew there was some reason why I was built like a stick insect. As far as bone density is concerned, I always understood it to be micro-impacts...
Here's an n=1 comment though. As far as the HPA axis is concerned, while I was in hospital with various sepsis/liver abscess investigations going...
I don't feel that NICE do have an agenda: it is more one of unscientific and illogical thinking. But to talk about 'weak evidence' after a...
When we talk of "the pain community", this will include us as far as much of the medical profession is concerned. I wonder whether "we" ought to...
Sadly, at school we used to teach a lot of "practical" maths, including the tricky art of interpreting statistical results, but the very...
Separate names with a comma.
