Yes, I too thought J TB might be a very useful source for starters here. I also suspect that health care workers in ME teams may have a lot of...
I sense theory creeping in already! But still interesting thoughts. I think I am looking for recommendations that can be described succinctly and...
I have been thinking a lot about the evidence base for ME/CFS management. There are some good negative studies but a positive evidence base is...
77,000 would be 1.75%. 10,000 is probably more realistic.
I agree with @TigerLilea and Vogt. The paper sound like commercial hype. 'We measured everything and found a few things' - what's so clever about...
Yes, but Ramsay's fatiguability might have a central mechanism. Ramsay may have thought that the 'fatiguability' implied that there was a problem...

It is confusing but presumably if they are the same people they must have the same illness! My thought is that postural orthostatic tachycardia...
Keuter's mistake is to assume that there is something called a psyche over and above the physiology. He himself admits that there is nothing more...
'Physical' just means causal. As Bertrand Russell pointed out, and many others before and after, we know nothing of the physical world other than...
It seems to me likely that the brain can orchestrate both a desire to stop having to think and aching in the muscles through efferent neural...
While it seems a good idea to study OI and potential treatments my impression is that this study is badly planned in all sorts of ways. Blinding...
As I read it 5693 is the number of SNPs found to have a twofold difference between groups, not the number tested. Without any real denominators in...
Not that I know of. The muscle MR spectroscopy group from UCL are all disbanded and retired now. Maybe this sort of thing but I know very little...
Separate names with a comma.
