A good point. I think there may be a confusion between 'fatigue' in. the sense of fatiguing during a task series and the subjective symptom...
So basically this is card carrying pseudoscience. We have had this flagged before but I had forgotten it in the context of this study. How on...
Another thought recurring: The problem the authors are faced with is finding a task that PWME cannot actually do because of central signals. The...
And tinnitus? or migraine? or insomnia? The real question is whether it is a Walitt disease or a Nath disease. Walitt says there was nothing...
exactly nor do they.
All fascinating analysis. I think there must be something misleading in the decline in button press rate, as bobbler suggests. I am coming round...
We have some good psychologists in the membership. They just don't seem to be chipping in much at present!
Yes, in the paper's discussion they make it pretty clear that being unable to do tasks and having an effort preference not to choose to do them...
I actually think that not only are experts talking past the common interpreter but the authors are talking past each other. Central immune signals...
This seems a good way of putting it. You set up an artificial situation in which it is far from clear what strategy people are expected to take...
If 'physical disability' means 'you can't actually do it' - which Nath has specifically denied is the case I agree. But it is still legitimate to...
It might seem so, but if effort preference is of any relevance to explaining ME it has to be something that occurs inappropriately in ME....
Another dumb question from me, not having the effort preference to wade through the protocol to get this clear: Were the patients chosen by...
But a I understand it being able to do the tasks and choosing not to choose them would be an abnormal 'effort preference' but not being able to do...
But doesn't this come round in a circle a bit. Either they choose not to choose hard tasks because they fail them, which is a sign of a healthy...
A stupid question from me: if buttoning pressing does not decline more in ME cases but failure occurs more often is this due to pressing 'wrong'...
EndME quoting Walitt: "He mentions that this participant clearly had no problem completing certain tasks but rather chose not to (which we can all...
You are all doing a great job on this @Murph. The multiple levels of failure is worth itemising. I would just advise against any suggestion that...
I think I met with NICE in late 2019 or maybe even 2020. So the commenter was likely fully aware of these results?
I am reminded of the comments made by a NICE committee member with a link to Bristol in response to my witness statement on trial problems. It was...
