Why should we be so cruel? What is wrong with their current situation? The person has exactly the sort of support they need. They do not need...
Indeed.
The whole point is that we have no idea. And we have to work with that and try to keep people afloat not knowing that. The NIH paper didn't seem...
I know what you mean but it isn't that simple. I have looked after people with 'FND' although I did not call it that. We do have information...
I am not suggesting FND is an appropriate category for ME/CFS - very much not. FND should cover people with specific neurological symptoms and...
But all diagnoses are made up to some extent. They all represent imperfect and partial understanding of mechanisms and prognosis. There is a...
There is certainly a naïvety in the suggestion that there are known effective approaches but I think it is important no to confuse a whole range...
Whatever one might think about the diagnosis of FND there are people who have problems that at present get put under that heading because nobody...
I don' think that we should be judging people by what they study, though, @Hutan. Sarah worked in rehabilitation and would have come across...
I had not bothered to look at these. This is not even usable data. It is a series of 'qualitative' studies that tell us nothing more than, to...
I don't think this is an issue of distinguishing processes but distinguishing effects. I think it is saying: 'all the symptoms that occur...
That would be your CatGPT Large Language Model I guess?
That there is a list of well known secondary causes of hypertension that all medical students learn. In my day we screened for those things that...
That particular graph doesn't.
As Hutan has indicated this may in a sense be a question we cannot really pose or answer usefully. One answer that comes to mind is that we have...
I am not quite sure what you are trying to get at. I realise it is complex and counterintuitive. The world consists of fields that 'advance'...
Not really. I am talking about a logical necessity that Einstein understood very well. A lot of people don't like it because it spoils intuitive...
I agree. PEM would still be just as much PEM even if the CPETs had been plumb normal. Fatiguability is a distinct concept.
I do think that three people in a family all getting ME at the same time must be significant, though. There is nothing in the immune model as I...
