    Stroop task and practice effects demonstrate cognitive dysfunction in Long COVID and ME/CFS, 2024, Baraniuk et al

    or they'd just use a pair of colours that aren't confused in colour blindness? Last time I did a Stroop test it was red and blue.

    Deep phenotyping of post-infectious myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, 2024, Walitt et al

    Something that seems to happen a lot in ME research is that the patient group shows much more variance than the healthy controls (as in the red group compared to the blue group here: most of the red lines slope sharply up or down while most of the blue lines stay nearly horizontal), but then the...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Long COVID: 3-Month Follow up Results from a Prospective Registry of 232 patients, 2024, Jur van Berkel et al

    I think those unimpressive numbers probably say more about the success or otherwise of the c.40 sessions of treatment (which the patients were paying for) than whether they improved by a few points on the SF-36 questionnaire.

    Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) - articles, social media and discussion

    The neurologist who tried to pin FND on me made a similar distinction - he was happy to agree that I'd initially had Long Covid, i.e. some lingering symptoms after acute infection, but that this had now "transitioned" into FND because I was traumatised by the illness so I was imagining myself...

    German late night comedian Jan Böhmermann covered ME/CFS and Long COVID

    Lots of posts and comments about this video on Mastodon from people who aren't the regular LongCovid hashtag crowd. Seems to be cutting through.

    Maeve Boothby O'Neill - articles about her life, death and inquest

    The enormous difference it can make when someone sees you as a person rather than a case.

    Challenges in Receiving Care for Long COVID: A Qualitative Interview Study Among Primary Care Patients About ..., 2024, Gardner et al

    Funny how knowledge about long COVID is the first thing patients expect, but has disappeared from the list once we get to the recommendations for how HCPs could do better.

    Association between childhood abuse and risk of post-COVID-19 conditions: Results from three large prospective cohort studies, 2024, Vyas et al.

    They defined 'post-Covid conditions' as 'COVID–19–related symptoms lasting 4 weeks or longer', which will apply to so many people that you can find almost anything you want in the dataset.

    Boom and bust, another ME/CFS myth? - ME/CFS Skeptic blog

    How can you be "a bit" all or nothing? And it's scored 0-4, so if you score 1 or 2 that means you're a bit "a bit" all or nothing?

    Heresy / Conjecture on the nature of PEM PESE PENE

    Trying to follow this with a foggy brain. So: this molecule loose in the bloodstream interacts with globins so as to impede cells' oxygen uptake in healthy people normally, but in people with ME this interaction occurs much more frequently and problematically, because... ?

    Care and Support Plan template free to download, Action for ME

    What a dog's breakfast of inconsistencies that page is - but written with an air of total authority. Presumably the psychologists thought 'oh well, they say it works, so we don't need to understand it, we just need to deliver it.'

    Opinion Post-exertional malaise – A functional brain aberration?, 2024, Wyller

    It's extremely Dunning-Kruger.

    Sweden: Socialstyrelsen's new national guidelines for "Postcovid and other related conditions and syndromes" including ME/CFS

    I'm not able to read it all at the moment but this part stood out to my skimming eye - I think it's a really important point.

    Childhood neurodivergent traits, inflammation and chronic disabling fatigue in adolescence: a longitudinal case–control study 2024 Quadt et al

    Some autistic children (and adults) have self-soothing/'stimming' habits such as skin picking and/or difficulties with hygiene routines that mean they are more likely to have repeated infections. I wonder if dietary differences might play a role too.

    Physical activity before and after exercise in women with chronic fatigue syndrome, 1998, Sisto et al.

    What does a vertical accelerometer measure? Would it record the difference between, say, resting in a chair with your feet up while reading/working/doing something manual (eg knitting) and resting in bed with the curtains closed doing absolutely nothing?

    Effects of physical training on coagulation parameters, IL-6, and ACE-2 in COVID-19 survivors, 2024, Binabaji et al.

    It is 2024 and this claims to be "the first study to implement exercise intervention for people recovering from COVID-19".
