Or it could be certain individuals with vested interests using sockpuppet accounts? It wouldn't surprise me if people did this in the world of ME...
My thoughts too. It's dross.
Wading into the fatigue versus PEM thing. Fatigue is a wholly unhelpful description (for me) because it's present in scores of chronic illnesses....
Absolutely. Central and peripheral mechanisms seem to be at work. CSS attributes anything peripheral to the central dysfunction, so it ignores...
I have no problem with clinics trying to address neuroinflammation and activated glial cells in the brain. But CSS dumbs down and co-opts these...
Same. No benefit but lots of fishy burps! The evidence base is quite muddled too--it can't decide whether we need more omega 3 (fish oils) or...
Most UK doctors don't test for things like EBV. They don't seem to want to give antivirals either. You're usually told to rest up and drink plenty...
Have you considered sending them the Geraghty study of reported harms?
Why is this one getting so few compared to the MEA's petition? Petition fatigue? Or is it just not worded as well?
So much of this chimes with me.
Can anyone find this in any trial registries? I'm trying to find out what the hypothesis/proposal is?
There is. I'm on the board for a charity. I have to disclose anything that might count. My mum is a local councillor, she has to declare...
As always, it's overly simplistic. I think they're latching onto things like evidence of primed glial cells in the brain, and low level...
I think cetirizine is now being touted as a useful secondary treatment alongside LDN by Dickson Pharmacy and the LDN Trust. They think this is...
There is an objective reality here. He had things *other people* might consider COIs, so he should have declared them, regardless of whether he...
There's an Oxford study comparing ME to bipolar. It's sponsored by the psychiatry department, but it is an MRS study, looking at lactate.
AfME weren't initially invited to sign and then didn't want to sign it late, IIRC. Convenient, you might think . . .
Vasoactive neuropeptides (VNs) such as pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) have...
So basically, another study designed to let the authors do what they were going to do anyway.
Or doctors are kidding themselves that they're Jesus Christ of the Antidepressants! I've now read Dr Smith's rationale for ADs in ME, and it's a...
Separate names with a comma.
