The prevalence of fibromyalgia worth the name improbably more like 0.5% so the situation is worse, but the same applies to the rheumatoid factor...
This might be important. DOT1L seems to push signalling to interferons and maybe TGFbeta rather than TNF alpha. I am currently interested in that...
I agree. Very much my line of thought. Except that I doubt this is priming in marrow. I think the 'learning' may reflect self-perpetuating changes...
As I see it CBT means something very specific indeed, and is much more like the person doing the painting than any any paint. It doesn't specify...
Probably missed this post last June. I wondered if those asking Chatbots to illustrate the absurdities on Trish's word game thread could ask them...
I seem to remember that in my expert witness report for NICE I made the post that further use of CBT in ME/CFS was unethical, for that reason. I...
Sorry I missed this. I cannot get excited about any of this being of any relevance to ME/CFS or Long Covid much. We see similar illness following...
It would be interesting to hear her views on things.
I find this unconvincing. Pretty much every paragraph start by assuming what it is going to argue. I don't see it as likely that 'mitochondrial...
John Isaacs was wrong and I was right 30 years ago (his trial failed and mine came up with the goods). It sounds as if he has learnt nothing and...
Checking the literature, it seems that one idea for anamnestic is that if Y is a bit like some previously seen X you get a stronger response to Y...
Yes, exactly. Anamnestic strictly speaking means 'non-memory' or something along those lines. I think originally it was used as a general term for...
I think that is oversimplified popular science. In fact the commonest innate response is fever, which by definition is driving cells to burn more...
There is a thing called the anamnestic response. (Things are a bit confused because the terms used for different things.) Early on in antibody...
Maybe someone should decide to de-fund all projects including the words gut-brain interaction.
I think that is plausible. I also think that late diagnosed lupus is more often borderline and diagnostic ascertainment may be further weakened...
I take your point but I still think that since we know nothing solid about haemodynamic abnormalities in ME/CFS the argument seems a red herring....
That site is seriously below standard on all sorts of things. Sadly, a typical patient organisation site that has made use of input from politico...
Yes, I do remember seeing this study and it is worth raising. The data look quite convincing initially. The problem I see is that diagnosis of...
I wouldn't bother @jnmaciuch. I tried it ten years ago and established that the BPS lot don't actually have any idea what they are talking about...
