Yes I am getting that now. I am so glad S4ME members are such Trojan data readers. I give up when I cannot see what a result is supposed to mean....
The sceptical response would be that we had pretty much as good results as this in our first lupus study in 2000 with rituximab. But I am very...
Don't know. It is a bit surprising to me but may be within normal expectations.
Agreed. It seems they could be picked if they fulfilled Fukuda, IOM or CCC and in reality they most consistently met IOM. But the point about...
@dave30th you really must get up to speed on your metaphors. We did it in year 5, along with the siege of Pondicherry. You shut the stable door...
Good point.
I have no knowledge of previous work in the field but I would have thought increased responses were equally consistent with patients being more...
Together these findings suggest that effort preference, not fatigue, is the defining motor behavior of this illness. This comment is meaningless....
That goes a good way to explaining why so many recovered.
Actually, I think it is likely that people making conscious decisions just IS neurons making decisions based on their chemical/electrical...
Nor is it what exertion intolerance is intended to mean, to my mind. The EI in SEID I have assumed implied something like 'food intolerance' in...
A barn door is usually a door twelve feet high and twenty feet wide. So a barn door case is a case about which there is no reasonable doubt. I...
'The mills of S4ME grind slowly, but they grind exceeding small.'
I think you are right to be worried if this long list of authors are collectively unable to come to a sensible interpretation of their own data....
Which maybe is right. But of course it is then not telling us about what is wrong that makes people need to pace. Working in medicine one gets to...
That paper may change things but I have two caveats. One is that many previous papers have claimed to find things that have not replicated. The...
I suspect that there are scores of known programmed defence responses with varying time scales. Some of them may come under 'sickness response'...
Possibly but I am not sure that is so likely. Fighting a micro-organism is largely a matter of things like cloning up some lymphocytes and maybe...
OK, but this IOM statement is no good. Measurements of heart rate and BP are not measures of 'worsening of symptoms'. This is typical of the...
But it was a group of people feeling robust enough to spend a week having tests - which is not representative.
Separate names with a comma.
