Maybe you have missed the main topic of conversation on this forum for the last four years? Which is that symptom improvement being undeniable in...
And those are parts of the problem. My job here is to try to help people distinguish real science from fashionable talk that sounds like science...
I don't see any need for hindsight. It is very obvious that people are being exploited right now. The chances that apheresis is of any use for...
I think it is closer that that. Adequate trial design is primarily an ethical issue. If there weren't people involved scientists could be allowed...
"When it comes to long covid, traditional models of care and research need to move pragmatically, adaptively, iteratively, and rapidly,...
I was straying into politics way outside the realm of ME, which is not allowed, so I can't elaborate I am afraid!
Thanks Ms Landmark, it is always useful to have further evidence of your lack of understanding of science. It may be useful for my book too....
I am worried that this is all a bit too high tech and not very feet on the ground. Inflammation was judged by complicated counting of immune...
It does, but since there isn't any actual inflammation in ME it can presumably only be an indicator of some 'memory' process that could involve...

I find this all hard to follow. I see no particular need tp retire any terms. I am simply saying that if CFS means anything useful it means ME....
I think it may be a red herring to worry about the discrepancy between the NICE and Cochrane grading of the evidence. The key point is that both...
I can see that but it makes no sense. There is no other syndrome as far as I am aware. People with chronic fatigue of unknown cause that do not...
It would be quite difficult for unhelpful beliefs about your peritoneum to aggravate peritonitis though if you have never heard of the peritoneum...
I find all this very confusing and I don't have any strong opinion on how to classify. What I would say is that I do not see any place for the...
I doubt anyone much gets better with GET. I think the diagnostic uncertainty is a red herring - after all in PACE the patients DIDN'T improve. As...
yes
It looks potentially very interesting. I wouldn't call this a specific immune response, although it would be fair to call it a tissue-specific...
This must be why people who cannot find a kebab shop at 2.00 in the morning tend to bump in to lamp-posts?
Somebody should suggest they are made honorary fellows of the Royal College of Physicians. It is almost as if they are parroting that RCP...
