Not necessarily. A lot of biomarkers have much more fluid relations to specific illnesses - ESR, rheumatoid factor, calcium level, etc. The simple...
this is the quote we are given, so that seems right: Yes, by accident. Because I threw a coffee cup on the floor in anger on the way out, which...
Both my wife and I have had specific vertigo problems after Covid twice now. I think this is an interesting report. It may not be so relevant to...
I wonder what @dave30th thinks about throwing mugs? Are you up for it David?
Excluding other things is certainly the one thing that is of known value. The problem with potential biomarkers is not about trials. It is simply...
I don't believe that for a minute. I asked my wife what she thought over dinner and she could see immediately that the crime of the situation was...
Water off a duck's back for the BPS people though. When academics want to talk drivel instead of science they are very good at gaterrhing their...
Not that way they don't @Esther12. And of course it isn't just the mug throwing, it is the whole story I have been hearing around this for so...
Of course not. Doctors do not go into ME research because there are no leads. You cannot commit an early career to a subject where there is...
No way. That means nobody goes, just as the BPS people would like. Nobody would criticise the science. This is real life. No harm was done. It is...
Really not, @Esther12. I find this incident helpful and informative. Someone who goes to lecture to heckle in order to protect their malingering...
No it isn't. Why is this 'dysregulation' rather than just different numbers - which might indicate a very normal response to some different...
I think this has to be carefully worded. The evidence of increased stroke came from Vioxx and diclofenac and when I last looked seemed to...
To me the presentation of the paper is very wordy and speculative and I find it hard to get a grasp of what was really found. My main gripe is...
I wouldn't change because of the clot story, which remains speculative. The pros and cons of painkillers are complicated but aspirin as far as I...
Anti-inflammatories and steroids can help all sorts of symptoms but as indicted above, it is inconsistent in the context of ME.
I am not quite clear what you are asking. Which treatments and for what? Polymyalgia is largely treated with corticosteroids, although...
We had a medical ethics Grand Round on a similar project for newborn babies. These big projects are being set up because the have a negative cost...
I am very familiar with managing polymyalgia. I cannot give specific medical advice but can comment on things in general.
Synthesis of antibody in salivary gland or higher proportion of IgA might. Altered salivary composition might produce the effect as an artefact....
