I imagine that to enlightened researchers this sort of ME/CFS research has the potential to be immensely rewarding intellectually and...
Why do you think that?
For ME/CFS that might not be such a bad thing. Particularly given this statement in the description: That one little sentence actually says a...
I presume that if a placebo is administered in a way that is truly 100% blinded, then there is going to be no effect. And in cases where it is...
Quite so. If you ignore the pain from a fractured bone and just "push through" it anyway ... you may well do exactly that.
Well he'd better stick to treating subjective conditions that benefit from placebo treatments then hadn't he, wherever they might be ...
He is a supremely capable shape-shifter. He keeps trying to morph into something different, that lets him off the hook from things he has said and...
This is one of the key aspects of PACE. The apparently positive effects in subjective outcomes are primarily due to the treatments themselves...
Absolutely! For one thing those who have recovered may simply be in remission. And even if they really have fully recovered, the very fact they...
I could agree that a person might not fully appreciate happiness if they've never experienced sadness, but to suggest you cannot experience...

Isn't that going to be true of any models for illness X, animal models or otherwise? Presumably research is primarily about trying to find the...
Need to know of course if ME/CFS is unique in this regard, or whether other illnesses can provoke lower HRV with a similar signature.
Naah, that would mean "Linguistic Analysis" being synonymous with "Listening".

I fully agree. Questions like this are not at all suitable for diagnosing ME/CFS in my opinion; they are so very ambiguous it can be pot luck when...
My response was assuming the diagnostic criteria would still be validly applied, though I agree there might be problems with achieving that, and...
That had passed me by, but you are right - those people would be especially important to not overlook gathering data from.
I'm afraid I'm unconvinced. Getting one's head around multiple options is itself cognitively demanding. I'm not the one with ME/CFS (my wife is),...
I agree. At the top of anyone's mind when considering possible recruitment will be "Do these people understand what it is like to have ME/CFS?"...
