[MEDIA] Here's an awful opinion piece about the possible use of GET in LC. I can't possibly comprehend what compelled this person to lead in with...
The article is shockingly poor, but this little piece of research linked caught my eye:...
>Finally, because of the purely explorative approach, P values were not corrected for multiple testing, resulting in a less stringent statistical...
"Let's run a survey on pandemic burnout and add some questions about long COVID to make it look more relevant."
Now, now. We aren't going to prevent people from changing their beliefs in the face of better evidence and experience, are we? Nah just kidding....
This person is likely using "somatic" as shorthand for SSD, but I find it funnier to believe that they actually don't know what their own...

This is some galaxy brain logic, considering that even in developed countries where ME is more commonly thematized, diagnosis is completely...
As an aside, is there any reason whatsoever to believe that clinical presentation and prevalence of ME differ between cultural and geographical...
