I'm so used to reading dodgy methods I was cynical when reading their description of placebo-controlled etc so had a look. But it does seem they...
Yes, the result without their wording says exactly that: more pain = more likelihood of psychological distress, whether the doctor was out that...
Yep. They've inverted the wording/cause and effect for their own sly purposes. None of this is science or medicine or psychology in the science...
Yep it is basically just spelling out the logic of the words then really isn't it - if you actually ascribed to those basic things of reality:...
and society prevents it - I've had individuals direcly ensuring I could neither get peace nor rest, to an extreme level, for most of my being ill....
Agreed on the sheer size of disability that needs to be attributed to actions of others. As if the disability size wasn't already huge enough with...
It is interesting isn't it. My note re: the antidepressants analogy was really to note that the 'spiel' tends to always infer specific, where...
A carefully-chosen word there isn't it 'revisiting' vs any other possible alternatives that might have certain meaning/outcomes attached to them....
Wow, interesting. I thought there would be more strategic dallying. Or more strategic a reply. And we'd all have to wait to see what came back....
yes the knock-on effect is very much needed. In pop culture too. I’ve watched a few ‘medical’ soap opera type things over recent years and to say...

I was initially thinking that ensuring the timescale that/length of wait Cochrane take to find an independent process to deal with complaints is...
Agreed on this one. Here's a simple 'experiment': when already not a 'good day' (but not bad as I'd got out of the house) I had to be taken to an...
I wish, these things seem to get pushed in through the GP pathways with claims of 'the never never' being reduced. Based on the fact that people...
Yep. I've used that one (mirror) as well as it being like x-ray glasses for seeing who people are when they know you have ME/CFS. And I have...
This is familiar. And speaks to how for e.g. ME/CFS unbelievably the disability itself is absolutely huge, but somehow society has managed to find...
Yes please to calling them out. And having names for them and terms for what they are doing. This is an important line that we should be able to...
Agreed, and indeed a dermatologist has pointed me to this too
Sadly that is not at all how it works for those in the UK who are under bad GPs. I can completely understand the caution. I had something that...
Where on earth did they get that idea from 'in theory'? Well yes if you made it inaccessible to them - and I don't see how that can still be...
Separate names with a comma.
