Until we know more about it, maybe those explanations are placeholders as much as anything? A "subtle shift in brain function" covers a lot of...
Yes, absolutely. If functional means cause not yet known, it's as good a term as any. The problems start when there's a suspicion it's presented...
So just for clarity, @FMMM1, they're electroplating a measure of imaginary outcomes.
I reckon so. As usual, it misses the point that what patients really need is help with all the crap that happens when the rug gets pulled from...
My mate (who claimed his name was Myx O'Lydian) used to make up codswallop like this and post it on Wikipedia. I'm wondering if he's at it again.
The issue is that organisations, government bodies, etc now insist on photo ID. My cousin had to apply for a provisional driving licence for her...
I hadn't heard about this, but I wonder if the denial was meant to be aimed more at healthcare professionals? I can see why it would be...
That would probably save a lot of money, morbidity and lives...but I guess it also risks creating so many sub- and cross-specialisms that you...
Fair points. Perhaps I should have said something like cynically made-up diagnosis. Because whilst it was initially reasonable to formulate and...
I was just about to post the following... It's the hijack that bothers me. If doctors recognise a cluster of signs and symptoms for which a...
This also holds if patients are given a made-up diagnosis. And no level of confidence or authority will negate its made-up-ness.
A reminder that if anyone in GB is struggling for general-purpose photo ID, a provisional driving licence is the cheapest at £34 if you apply...
The trouble with that will be the fairy folk, who swap our fuel tank every night for a different one. We wake up with no idea whether we've got a...
I don't think there is. It reminds me a lot of driving a wheelchair-adapted van. They have to reduce the size of the fuel tank (invariably by an...
The second description seems to be more common, but people do use and understand terms differently. Rolling PEM is really common in mildly...
B12 deficiency, plus low vitamin D if I don't supplement. (I might have the world's best skin type for vitamin D production, but it also means...
I've often consulted VeryWell, it is useful. For major brands it would probably be too much of a business risk to deliberately split production...
That's impressive. Not as much as the old lady on my mam's estate who cut the chip out of her bus pass and glued it to a magic wand, but still.
It's also muddied by the apparent existence of a post EBV-like group, who have significant symptoms but they do eventually resolve. There's still...
I've thought about this too, but I wonder if symptoms are part of the difficulty. What matters to me is what I can do. That's partly governed by...
Separate names with a comma.
