From the website: Good to hear that at least some of them were considered useful!
I don't think the terminology or the usage is at all fixed. What I describe as PEM is the routine reaction to previous activity. It's fairly...
From @MSEsperanza: A general (maybe dumb) question about epidemiology: Are there chronic diseases that somehow protect from getting certain...
I think it's possible to have both cock-up and conspiracy. It's unlikely that there was an intention to screw over patients, and very unlikely...
I agree, I'm quite willing to believe Walitt really thought he could use fMRI machines to find the toadstone. And it doesn't surprise me that,...
This is what grieves me so much about the waste. Care for chronically ill people needs reorganising from the ground up, to recognise that...
The whole thing appears to have been a decades-long academic exercise. There's almost nothing in the publications about trying to find out what...
They're not. That's crucial in sustaining the model, because if people knew the risks of engaging with these programmes, they wouldn't touch them...
I was very disappointed at the lack of a bedtime story in the offer.
Guys, I think we could do at least as well between us for next 1 April! :rofl:
And it isolates the victims. My friend was a shy 12-year-old when she had to front up the most intimidating teacher in the school. Students of...
That's interesting, because I've been wondering if one specific thing could potentially be assessed: the quality, clarity and usability of pacing...
In 1971, my friend asked me to go with her to see the deputy head. She was the only black pupil in some of our tutor groups, and wanted to...
In other words, this 'rehabilitation' is for people with illnesses, impairments, and living situations that can't, in many cases, be...
From @MSEsperanza: Probably not relevant for the main points of the discussion but the abstract only says the controls had mostly sleep...
But it could be simpler than that. Doctors could say there are a lot of things medicine doesn't yet understand, and this is one of them. Why is...
Sure, but in the world of proper medicine I get the impression they'd be under the auspices of the same clinic. The mode of delivery might be...
Are there other diseases where NHS clinics deem some of the sufferers too ill to accept as patients? I can't think of any examples at the moment,...
Good point, but there are no services for most pwME in the NHS. Once you've been diagnosed and gone through the pacing and management advice,...
But that might be the point? Doctors who use the term FND in the straightforward sense don't seem to be trying to explain the cause, they're...
Separate names with a comma.
