So his wife cyberstalks people for any mention of her beloved? I'd be far more worried about that than a bunch of patients (rightly) getting angry...
You can have functional, non-epileptic seizures. But then 'functional' can also be used to mean what it actually means (as in, related to the...
Could it be neuropathic? Amitriptyline would be the go-to prescription drug for that. A doctor would probably prescribe it easily enough on a...
It's also the label more and more ME patients are being given. They don't realise they're being told their symptoms are psychosomatic!
Thanks for the clarification. It's all certainly very odd.
But did they reply to that letter? All we've seen is a letter asking if they wanted to leave, not a statement that they are leaving. Sorry if this...
So far, it sounds like IiME never responded to the Countess of Mar's communication? That's not the same as formally leaving. If they were unable...
Always with the multidisciplinary teams! It's about job creation, not treating patients.
The worst part of this illness? The disease that is the BPS fuckwits themselves. BPS bullshit can be directly correlated with worse outcomes in...
That Lizzie irritated me. It's not about trying hard and being positive.
It's the opposite of Occam's Razor: they're using torturous arguments to prove their theory, when it makes far more sense that objective...
They're definitely overinterpreting. It's a nonsense study that doesn't make sense. @Jonathan Edwards, what do you think, as a scientist? It was...
http://jnnp.bmj.com/content/early/2018/05/06/jnnp-2017-317823 I'm not sure if this is the 'biomedical research' MRC claimed to be funding:...
It's certainly part of the issue, but I think it'll disappear soon, once we have better confirmatory tests. However, when it comes to the news,...
But the point is that the study didn't work for any of the patients in the trial (whether CF, CFS or ME) and that's an easier argument to make and...
Were the arguments the usual BPS versus biomedical?
FFS.
The BPS model has indeed been hijacked. At its core, it's a political way of looking at medicine. That is, it's intersectional (as we might say...
This is appalling. I hope someone is able to challenge it.
I'd prefer clinicians knowing they don't know enough to thinking they know everything, and then prescribing CBT and GET, as they do here. But yes,...
Separate names with a comma.
