Discussions here suggest that things are a lot more subtle. Some members do not recognise the standard description of PEM. There are claims that...
It does all the time in rheumatology and gastroenterology.
No it isn't. In medicine it is usually assumed that with a 'disease' there is some objective evidence of what sort of process we are dealing...
In medicine we very definitely do. The word concept is traditionally used to mean both the conception and what is being conceived. Linguistic...
But my point is that the etymology of ME/CFS is completely irrelevant. The origins of ME/CFS are a shoal of red herrings. The problem I am trying...
I wondered when the undead would turn in their sarcophagi. Almost like The Return of the Mummies. Their international experts even included a...
The problem with functional MRI is that you get to the point where they may be measuring someone thinking 'I wonder if they will find something...

A small team might be able to go but the procedure probably requires a complete set up with theatre and recovery space and continuing monitoring...

One of the things I find difficult to judge here is how reasonable demands from patients and carers are if things are really difficult. If it is...
In the past the specialist centre involved has been St Mark's gastroenterology. My reading of the text available is that St Mark's is prepared to...
Another conflation of course is that mass hysteria and hysteria are quite separate concepts associated with different psychiatric theories.
The pity is that Winter gets the narrative all wrong. The illness that McE and B diagnosed as hysterical was not ME/CFS. It was an acute epidemic...
Time the sideshows closed down I think.
A weird mixture of reasonably sensible statements and misleading ones. Interesting that they seem to be doing a decent (hopefully) trial of...
Yes, yet again we seem to have a poor individual wedged between two sets of doctors' unhelpful beliefs -on the one hand everything physical being...
I would have thought changes in hippocampal volume just reflected one fluid changes related to oestrogen. I cannot see any relevance to mood. I...
