Treating TSH only when it exceeds 10 seems ridiculous!
I think there actually comes a point where it becomes a case of 'the lady doth protest too much'. We need to be able to ally with MH advocates, as...
From what I can see, there's a lot of conjecture here, more than anything else. It's looking at the role of hormones in autoimmune diseases, and...
I think that's a good idea.
Is it worth including something on risks of harm associated with treatments? If they specifically want to include GET, for instance, then should...
In 1997, Simpson also wrote about changes to blood shape in fatiguing illnesses, and how it might be a proxy measure of fatigue:...
I gather the Dutch are, like the UK, usually quite obsessed with the BPS model of ME. Although that seems to be (slowly) changing. I'm not sure...
God. That man. (And I use the term loosely.) I hope the MH charities protest any move that widens the remit of psychiatrists in opposition to our...
Byron Hyde noted more thyroid issues in his patients. I know MEA says they've not seen evidence of a link before (from their survey, I think?),...
This is true. Learning self-care was something that took me a long time. It's very easy, when you're trapped at home all day, to get lost in...
I think we all need to give ourselves a break and stop torturing each other over the correct way to speak/behave/advocate. Biased psychiatrists...
Isn't there also the issue that if you only examine patients with fatigue and an absence of any physical signs, you won't find any physical signs?...
I read everything here with keen interest. What's especially interesting to me is the implication that there's a form with a greater number of...
This one should be interesting. Note to self: one of the patients on the last guideline development group said that the scope only searched for...
Looks like this is their previous study on similar receptors/auto-antibodies:...
It reads like bad science fiction.
Some interesting info on Wikipedia (take it with a pinch of salt, naturally): 'Infusion of Ucn2 into rat hearts resulted in an immediate and...
I thought I had read it in one of the many letters to NICE from the charities. I think you're right, though, and I see where I'm mistaken. See:...
Glad to see I'm not alone! The only way I can describe this feeling is that you're energised but calm, you feel connected to everyone around you,...
I meant to add, too, that NICE is supposed to consider clinical anecdote and patient testimony equally alongside trials. Again, there's bias...
