I have difficulty seeing the problem with this. As I understand it, that old trial by Goudsmit and Ho Yen used pre-emptive rest which probably...
I think you might be confusing preemptive rest with normal rest periods. Preemptive rest is resting when you could easily do more, believing that...
Ok, but regarding NICE I don’t think it’s not in our interest for pacing to become something anyone can fill in according to personal preferences....
It was. I think both Goudsmit and Jason developed the principles of pacing (independently of each other) on the basis of patient input and in...
I don't think we have to do this, because we can only share our personal experiences with pacing and that of the fellow ME/CFS patients we know....
The point I wanted to make was that pacing in ME/CFS is very different from pacing in the chronic pain literature. It was not intended to define...
Muscle cramps may be an inadequate term, but this is how the consensus document describes it: "Minor and transient symptoms which do not make...
I would like to make the following point about pacing. Like the previous NICE document, this guideline will probably mention pacing, perhaps not...
The diagnosis of ME/CFS was not confirmed by the research team. Instead they looked at all patients who've received the ICD9-CM code 780.71 for...
So these were 61 ME/CFS patients from the Bateman Horne Center whose blood samples were shipped to the University of Toronto. There they looked at...
From watching the video it looks like the authors of the hoax are more concerned with political bias than with poor scientific methodology, hence...
I agree with @adambeyoncelowe that this is a positive development. The document is quite all right: it lists the problems with GET and CBT, asks...
Leslie O Simpson is the pioneer of this theory. He wrote a book on red blood cell deformability and capillary restriction in ME together with...
IMHO, This is the only method in which the category of medically unexplained physical symptoms makes any sense. Instead of speculating about a...
Lol. So let me see if I've got this right. 1) Larun et al. publish a flawed review. 2) Courtney and Kindlon point out their mistakes, but Larun...
So why is the document only visible for members? Can only members download documents on this site? Sorry for the confusion.
Really? The thread is open to non-members, no? Or is it because only members can download documents?
I don't think this study found something robust. They themselves highlight that differences were minor... It's exciting though to have a Chinese...
Yes. I mentioned this in the document where I've summarized information about the committee members. it can be found here:...
Hmm, I doubt it. If they had 5 measurements for all these subjects then they would probably have reported it this way.
Separate names with a comma.
