There is a discussion to be had about how the issue isn't just this, but the usage of this as a straw-man extreme to justify the 'but just a bit'...
I couldn't agree more. In fact it has taken me this long with ME/CFS to see all of these parts just in time for watching it all play out almost in...
Good stuff that you've noted here. The PEM/criteria is particularly pertinent as it seems fundamental that a study is actually using the large...
Agreed - analogies like suggesting Rosmalen is doing the equivalent of insisting on recruiting one's own cohort of 'ulcer-like maybe-ish stomach...
I'm being cautious or trying to be as I don't feel I'm fully on top of what is going on re: who is getting put into this FND bucket. But this...
And so I've had a think and do believe that the analysis of the individuals and modus operandi are also important - and merely need to be coherent...
That's an important point to make. Repeating the most factual things in particular too. Such as Camelford. Those need direct repetition. I'm...
Oh I'm aware of its original intention in Darwin's actual writing but where I saw it most quoted of recent years was indeed wrong-usage e.g. in...
Am I right in thinking he is the one behind ‘the selfish gene’ book which pushes the idea of Darwinism survival of the fittest, being selfish...

and that we don't know what symptoms are 'rolling PEM' or being above threshold in the 'perform but don't do yourself much good' zone vs are what...
I haven't read the whole thing but can't imagine that this study was done without the individuals with most of the conditions being on their...
Thanks - will give it a try
googling (as couldn't open full text) found the following which I don't know whether is of interest or too much of a sidebar....
I'm no expert in this area so would only be a second pair of eyes trying to use common sense and maths, but the link to the full text doesn't open...
I hope that didn't come across as a 'you should have' , but it is useful to contextualise any methods or results whatever the subject area in the...
I agree that studying PEM properly needs to be one of the priority areas. And definitely that it needs to be for more than 3 days (particularly as...
Indeed, I am imagine as usual for these things from this area it will all be very back-to-front where the misinformation is information and what...
yep it’s a weird delusional claim that has been pushed by the psychosomatic school to persuade bystanders they aren’t the ones who have...
Separate names with a comma.
