You are being very polite @rvallee. Are there some new forum rules ?;) This seems to be a muddle of opinionation and self-congratulation by some...
It doesn't surprise me. I wish people wouldn't do science by X.
I guess that if you run clinics for people who have been given lots of diagnoses you will find that lots of them have lots of diagnoses.
Sorry @Simon, I miss things. Are you saying that you think there are two groups of PVF (inc post-Covid): 1. Similar to more typical fatigue,...
We are talking about something right at the edge of what is considered normal in a test result that can go up more than 100 fold when it wants to....
I had forgotten that. I have always regarded a CRP of more than 2 as potentially of note. 5 is unusual in completely healthy people. If the...
The Beentjes study picked out CRP as statistically different in the ME/CFS group but only a tiny proportion of people (?4%) had CRP levels that...

I have also been consulted on the Suffolk and North Essex plan. Suffolkres knows a lot about this. Last time I spoke to a person drawing up a...
If blinding of an allocated trial intervention is not feasible (for example in trials of different types of patient management or surgical...
Nope. Sorry. Above my pay grade.
Not specifically suggesting degeneration, just a change in neurotransmitter function. Degeneration seems unlikely since nobody has reported any...
Well it might point to the hypothalamus being crucial - and not just as part of some 'HPA axis' or 'Autonomic function'. If ME/CFS was a bit like...
We now have over 100 votes so I shall welcome discussion of interpretation. The first thought for me is that the effect reported does not look...
Separate names with a comma.
