Yes, I've been following them on Facebook and I've been wondering about all this myself. (I think I even mentioned it here on S4ME that their sloth mascot was an interesting choice.) I don't speak Czech, so I can only judge their activity based on what I saw in the FB translated versions of...

David Tuller was very kind to cover this story about how they misrepresented what the NICE guideline says on the Virology blog: https://virology.ws/2025/08/23/trial-by-error-hungarian-experts-make-goulash-out-of-nice-recommendations/ "Remarkably, the authors managed to mangle the core findings...

You forgot to mention the drop bear :emoji_koala::skull::dizzy:

@ME/CFS Science Blog did I see it right that Paul Garner himself showed up on your Facebook page to criticize DecodeME?

I have found another article in Hungary, this one is actually on a website called DrPortal, which is a health news kind of website written by doctors for other healthcare workers. The articles aren't public, only verified healthcare workers can access them. I can only see the first few...

There has been some additional coverage here too, although it has not been covered by every major news site, only a few. Another one was Origo which is one of the top news sites but it is also infamous for featuring a lot of political propaganda, so I'm not sure I want to link the article here...

I remember his blog was posted in my group a few times, recommended as "the best source about ME/CFS you can find". Not very recently though. I wish S4ME had the same appeal to people. It would make my job a lot easier in my group if there were some more well-informed, science-oriented people...

The news of Decode ME has reached Hungary too, although so far I have seen only one such article. Portfolio is the largest business/economic news site in the country. They wrote their article based on the one in the Financial Times but they don't really go into details about the study too much...

Yes, I agree with this and even made a point about it in my last comment that I'm not talking about long-term. However, the impression I got from the above comments is that this (struggling to do the same strength training exercise 2 days in a row) is something that "should never ever happen" to...

Yes, you can improve well if you regularly work out. I was commenting on what the personal trainer said that he was surprised that you needed rest and couldn't repeat the workout without rest as a beginner and that you couldn't lift the same weight the next day. He may not be familiar with...
