Sure, but in the world of proper medicine I get the impression they'd be under the auspices of the same clinic. The mode of delivery might be...
Are there other diseases where NHS clinics deem some of the sufferers too ill to accept as patients? I can't think of any examples at the moment,...
Good point, but there are no services for most pwME in the NHS. Once you've been diagnosed and gone through the pacing and management advice,...
But that might be the point? Doctors who use the term FND in the straightforward sense don't seem to be trying to explain the cause, they're...
Until we know more about it, maybe those explanations are placeholders as much as anything? A "subtle shift in brain function" covers a lot of...
Yes, absolutely. If functional means cause not yet known, it's as good a term as any. The problems start when there's a suspicion it's presented...
So just for clarity, @FMMM1, they're electroplating a measure of imaginary outcomes.
I reckon so. As usual, it misses the point that what patients really need is help with all the crap that happens when the rug gets pulled from...
My mate (who claimed his name was Myx O'Lydian) used to make up codswallop like this and post it on Wikipedia. I'm wondering if he's at it again.
The issue is that organisations, government bodies, etc now insist on photo ID. My cousin had to apply for a provisional driving licence for her...
I hadn't heard about this, but I wonder if the denial was meant to be aimed more at healthcare professionals? I can see why it would be...
That would probably save a lot of money, morbidity and lives...but I guess it also risks creating so many sub- and cross-specialisms that you...
Fair points. Perhaps I should have said something like cynically made-up diagnosis. Because whilst it was initially reasonable to formulate and...
I was just about to post the following... It's the hijack that bothers me. If doctors recognise a cluster of signs and symptoms for which a...
This also holds if patients are given a made-up diagnosis. And no level of confidence or authority will negate its made-up-ness.
A reminder that if anyone in GB is struggling for general-purpose photo ID, a provisional driving licence is the cheapest at £34 if you apply...
The trouble with that will be the fairy folk, who swap our fuel tank every night for a different one. We wake up with no idea whether we've got a...
I don't think there is. It reminds me a lot of driving a wheelchair-adapted van. They have to reduce the size of the fuel tank (invariably by an...
The second description seems to be more common, but people do use and understand terms differently. Rolling PEM is really common in mildly...
B12 deficiency, plus low vitamin D if I don't supplement. (I might have the world's best skin type for vitamin D production, but it also means...
Separate names with a comma.
