I realise that it will be unpopular but I am going to say that I think people with severe ME and severe difficulties with eating do have an eating...
But surely the whole point is that nobody actually knows anything about the psychodynamics here and it is irrelevant. There is no need to get a...
I think that would be previously invented thing but I don't know when. I strongly suspect it reflects a movement within gastro similar to the...
So it seems the problem isn't local and is recognised by more than us:...
Looking at those gastro articles I am not sure about that. It looks as if we now have three categories clearly laid out: 1. structural/physical...
Tachycardia is not a diagnostic requirement for ME as far as I am aware and in fact I thought there was evidence that OI in ME is most often not...
Call me old fashioned but I would like to see just one protein consistently (80%) well outside normal range. This sort of study might lead to...
The BSG guideline on functional dyspepsia is a hoot - hard to believe really. All the recommendations are strong or very strong and all the...
Thanks @cassava7. That seems to identify what we are up against! From the quotes it looks like the usual unsubstantiated psychologisation with...
It would certainly be useful if physicians managed to gather some reliable information on it. Considering Greenhalgh's history of critical...
No, ligaments do not vary in function over days, weeks or months. They can become lax over years in the context of severe muscle weakness but...
Do we have good documentation that gastroparesis is a problem in PWME that causes symptoms? This is where I think we lack essential data. To my...
Yes, I raised light sensitivity because it might seem central but it is still not central in the central sensitisation sense. So case unproven....
You may be right but I am not convinced that there are any 'associated comorbid conditions' of relevance. The idea that there is some link between...
I don't think anyone knows. I think discussion in terms of 'faulty interpretation of normal signals' ends up meaning whatever you like unless one...
That may well be the case. The question is how to provide care guidelines that prevent mismanagement locally. This is where I see the NICE...
Video-fluoroscopy has fallen out of failure because of radiation dosage. I don't think any test can guarantee that there isn't a risk. With a...
Trouble is, most of it looks like hearsay. I worry that this sort of poorly validated information may actually aggravate the problem.
I guess it is to avoid aspiration of gastric contents. The presence of a tube is likely to make the oesophageal sphincter inefficient. If acid...
I strongly suspect that those two papers are not actually studying people with EDS but the ill-defined group of people who get labelled as...
Separate names with a comma.
