I agree with Trish. I strongly suspect that Long Covid clinics will be therapist-run sausage machines to rehab, maybe with a cardiopulmonary...
It has the hallmarks of Oxford about it. A presumption that nobody else has a valid opinion and that nobody will notice the preposterous nature of...
Reading the exchanges between people closely involved makes one realise just how disingenuous the suggestion was that the 2021 guideline committee...
I have been having a conversation with a GP strongly in favour of a BPS approach and we got on to the question of describing causes as mental or...
Segal is the paediatrician. I am fairly sure Gregorowski is still with us. She is a nurse specialist. The unit has come in for quite a lot of...
All the evidence seems to be not quite what one needs to be sure. Comparisons with other therapies showing the same 'benefit' begs the question as...
'The PACE trial data shows that GET and CBT benefited around 15% of participants.' Not even that. 15% may have reported feeling better having...
I wondered that. A reminder of just how uninterpretable studies by this group are.
I couldn't find a formal trial report. Maybe it is still in press. Unfortunately, PubMed has changed format and does not list things...
It has been a very useful discussion @SNT Gatchaman. S4ME has evolved into a place where scientific debate is genuinely hard edged and that can...
That's interesting, seems to be very recent. As far as I could see the literature was mostly anecdotal until recently and there has been a...
They are not relevant. Whether or not there is neuropathy can only be judged by neurological tests. Autoantibodies occur in lots of normal...
I really doubt it. Professor Angela Vincent is probably the most knowledgeable person on this and I have not heard her talking of good evidence...
Quite apart from the dubious nature of the factual background, how do we know this is a success? I am not aware of any evidence to support giving...
No, I am talking about high dose IVIG. I don't think it is really that effective in those conditions. Most of the accounts of benefit are...
Why would these be any less valid than 'EDS', 'MCAS' etc.? From my perspective the important thing for all these conditions is to get robust...
Didn't Live Landmark complain that there were too many patients on the NICE committee!!
As @5vforest says this is just a ticket for reimbursement for the private physician I suspect. The diagnosis of SFN by punch biopsy is probably...
Agreed also. We could add Castleman's disease but in a way that only proves the point more.
IVIG was used a lot for inflammatory and autoimmune conditions in the 1980s largely because it seems to have a useful immediate effect in immune...
