What is it that makes people still hold on to this idea that there is some magical way to 'manage' this that will be effective but hasn't been...
Mentions in 2 places but largely ignores the giant ME/CFS elephant in the room. So still a very superficial effort that puts too much emphasis on...
Well, they didn't really identify anything useful, but it at least data showing that half recovered naturally without doing anything could spell...
This endless loop of identical useless trials doesn't even pass the plausibility test. It's not even plausible that this should work, it has no...
One thing I'll say about this disaster: if you're not outraged, you're not getting it. Although people have different of expressing outrage, this...
No, no social, no bio, only psycho. That's the biopsychosocial way, most letters are actually silent, need to be spoken with a dog whistle.

Well this sure is some jumble of random questions and correlations that don't support a common meme, but as is tradition: [IMG] Their...
I think I got to the point where PROMs aren't just useless, they're actively harmful. Not inherently, rather it's because they are misused, but...
I hope to keep discussion strictly on the methodology aspect, but I noticed how many of the issues overlap with the general problem of...
Another problem that has long been solved in software development. In most library packaging systems (basically ways to use code written by...
Consensus without the participation of everyone isn't really consensus. Doesn't mean it will be bad but, well, it usually is. If you're not...
It would be great if we could submit something. Sadly I say this as someone who likely can't contribute much... It'd be great if we could go a...
All I can think of here, that a few letters are supposed to make some difference here only heightens my extreme disappointment in our sad species....
