There are unexpected and rapid remissions in other conditions for which we do not have full explanations but at leat we tend to have some...
The abstract appears to completely miss the point that this is a treatment we have had experience of over a period of forty years that is...
In a way yes, but there is a crucial extra, hidden, component to the syndrome concept. A clinical pattern is only a syndrome if we have at least a...
I also think this is important - what I call the ladders of the snakes and ladders. Not everyone seems to have this but it is equally perplexing...
Yes, very much the same idea. There is subtlety that John Martin missed though. A syndrome is justified by some underlying commonality in causal...
Thank goodness. I probably misread you.
I don't really like the idea that I might have dynapenia - sounds very peculiar - but I probably do. I did it hard to lift a bag of cement these...

Yeah but it doesn't hack it. People love to write review articles on this but the reality is that physical exertion makes no detectable difference...
They were supposed to be. I was just trying to find some end of alphabet letters. And yes absolutely the biochemical event could trigger other...
It is.
This is where I think it is crucial to be rigorous about word usage and that isn't easy because the medical profession never is. PEM is a...
From a social perspective, yes. And for ME/CFS, because many doctors do not even recognise its existence, it is crucially important for patients...
Absolutely. That is the task. To think of something it might be that predicts findings from research.
I have posted a new thread - or maybe just an essay - to try to answer.
Sasha asked me: "I have the feeling that you as a clinician are approaching the question of diagnosis in a way that's based on your training, and...
It may come as a surprise to you, Sasha, but in my experience only a tiny minority of people as a whole have the sort of enquiring interest and...
Yes, Trish, but that leaves a whole lot of valid questions open. Firstly, the theorising has already crept in with the association either by the...
