Firstly, amazing congratulations to all involved. Did anybody else have an issue with the sign-up form on the DecodeME website? I filled it out...
Tom, I don't disagree with a thing you've said and FTAOD think everything I've seen from you has been very measured. I had seen a couple of...

This is very important. I've been careful in any discussion around 'post-COVID' to point out that post-viral symptoms are self-limiting in the...
Told by a (female) GP: ‘no, you’re actually ill, not like those women who just won’t get out of bed’
@rvallee Yes, that is my fear. "People who had the strongest beliefs they were seriously ill had the worst outcomes, thus proving that the belief...

I find Naviaux's work interesting and worth pursuing, but probably in the DARPA mould of potentially high-impact but low-probability. For...
This line jumps out at me, unfortunately: This implies patient samples and control samples were not treated equally. If, say, patient samples...
As somebody whose condition started with a suspected Giardia infection on a business trip to India, I've read the Bergen studies. Worth flagging...
I should probably know this, but is there a good outline of the proposed mechanism of action of Naltrexone? I've seen several places where it's...
At the risk of sounding like a BPS proponent here, "it's deconditioning!" seems to be the appropriate response. More symptoms = increase...
Interesting. Looks like their initial result was sufficiently interesting that they recruited a validation cohort, if I’m reading this right.
My OH develops a lot of materials for charities and I would say the press release is perfectly normal practice. Use of terms like ‘groundbreaking’...
Same here - even today (I'm classed mild most of the time) I walk faster than most other people. It's just that if I do more than about half a...
Yeah, I tend to wince when you get comments whose certainty seems to be inversely proportional to the actual amount of evidence for their claim.
Literally no reason to prescribe to ME/CFS patients for their ME/CFS. AFAIK, there has been no mechanism proposed for ME/CFS that indicates...
Putting aside the source, it's not a crazy hypothesis. AFAIK, the symptoms of 'chronic Lyme' and ME/CFS are broadly similar, and the evidence of...
Kind of. The p-value is derived from the measurements we have already taken. So I would rephrase your rephrasing as: Taking a simpler example:...
Basically, it's the hypothesis that there is no link between the variables being measured. It's quite important in understanding p-values, which...
