I realise that this situation exists. Interestingly, I don't think I ever found myself in it except when NICE refused to let me use the drug I had...
(I am a professor of medicine.) I don't think electrophysiological tests are any use for the face. There are no electrophysiological abnormalities...
If you want to be openly derogatory about all doctors that's fine by me but as a doctor it doesn't ring true. Most doctors would like to do their...
Indeed. As far as I was concerned as a doctor all the decisions were made by the patient. I was just there to explain what was available. Why...
I am afraid this looks like window dressing to me. I have this awful vision of an ignorant health care worker offering a useless treatment...
The irony is that 'fibromyalgia' really means, in medical language 'whingeing about pain when there is nothing really wrong, oops, I mean it's all...
'I was told that they don’t treat patients with fibromyalgia, like me, regardless of what they come in for.' I can guarantee that is not actually...

It could of course be to stand on a piece of paper and ....
I agree but I think it is important at this point to re-focus on the blockage with dealing with the Cochrane review. I don't think it is pressure...
But that would never have happened because the idea of getting people to exercise to get them out of fatigue goes back much further - certainly to...
Yes, at least the wording of the discouragement to exercise is pretty sensible and it is heartening that the NICE draft is being taken note of.
But this is in the context of LongCovid. It would be interesting to know what would happen if all the LongCovid clinics went over just to...
My view on this has actually changed in a major way. The problem was never the psychiatrists. It was always the primary care physicians - who...
OK, so it is really essential that organisations like World Physio start putting out documents indicating that there is no evidence base for such...
I am sure that is right. But if World Physio and the physio profession agreed that exercise is not relevant to LongCovid and got that message back...
Who requires them to do that?
I think I am right in saying that this whole business has nothing to do with psychiatrists. That seems a complete misunderstanding of the battle....
