I would like to participate but I suspect this is for US residents only. The announcement reads: I suppose that will be difficult, from outside...
I hope all ME/CFS-patients will fill in the survey to ensure Cochrane will have a stricter COI policy. This is really important.
My quick thoughts: 1) Tovey confirms that Cochrane planned to temporarily withdraw the Larun et al. GET review because the authors did not...
A study from South Korea (Epub ahead of print): OBJECTIVE: The present study compared cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and chronic fatigue syndrome...
It's not really pain and stiffness sounds to benign. It's actualy very similar to a normal person going beyond his/her limits when exercising, for...
This is great. Thank you @FMMM1 ! I'm afraid I know little about the European Commission and its ability to decide on medical research funding....

I think the scale is focused too much on symptoms. When I assess another patient’s disability quickly, I focus more on his ability to work/study...
Don't want to re-open the discussion about central sensitisation, but looking back at the essay, one thing that strikes me is how little we use...
The article was written months ago, in the summertime and has allready been posted (with references) and discussed on S4ME. See:...
I think the activity diaries should be seen as part of the intervention, so it's not that abnormal that there are differences between them IMHO.
Wow if that misunderstanding of the dubbo studies is true, that would be some really scary stupidity. The dubbo study showed that six months...
