We see the same thing with long covid, where several solid studies show that cognitive behavioral therapy can significantly reduce symptoms [12-14], even though we do not have a full overview of the biological mechanisms. ???

Thanks for that @Trish. and micromanaging our lives in totally unrealistic ways, Unrealistic, unhelpful, intrusive, insulting, and demeaning. And very disturbing. All so they can have careers, feel special, and avoid having to admit they got nothing.

Not to mention their recklessness. As to Wessely being a little more cautious, it has only taken him nigh on 40 years. Which is, you know, waaaaaay too late.

Excellent news. :) Hope it goes well.

When the lust for gold and power speak louder than reality, this is what we get.

That is exactly what they are doing, and have been for some time. The rest of medicine, and the broader governance structure, need to wake the hell up to it and stop them.

A core problem in subjective assessment that was known and understood decades ago, indeed millennia ago. Yet here we are, with the very profession who is supposed to be responsible for understanding this methodological issue and making sure it is taken into account in research and clinical...

We also know that recovery is possible, They know no such thing. They merely assert it. Yup. That is exactly what they will do, indeed are already doing via FND, rather successfully thus far unfortunately. And they will keep right on trying to foist this garbage onto sick vulnerable innocent...

Good result. But the 'restored' pages will need some close scrutiny to make sure they have not been altered.

I get tender, firm, and somewhat swollen glands, almost entirely the neck ones. Has always been a feature for me.

I would be amazed if they didn't.

Read this over a few times now and it is actually quite realistic and helpful. A bit anemic maybe here and there, but overall nothing I would seriously disagree with. Symptom list is good. This paragraph is excellent and important, particularly the last sentence: Try to manage your activity...

'It also renews attention to post-viral illnesses such as ME/CFS,...' I really wish the viral part of that description was dropped from the lexicon. We don't know it is viral. Much safer to say post-infection. 'Personalized treatment, tailored to individual symptoms and immune markers will be...

How, given recent events, is this anything less than a cruel bald-faced lie?

Very amusing, in a grim kind of way, and like all good satire also an accurate critique of the situation. (n = too many) :laugh:

People with more symptoms report having more symptoms. :cautious:

There was a short article by a patient I read many years ago describing the endlessly contradictory suggestions and advice they received from all directions, personal and professional, about what was wrong with them and how they should deal with it. I thought I had a copy but can't find it now...

@Liie That link doesn't work.

To the surprise of nobody with more than a dozen neurons. We are watching the complete destruction of medical science, and no doubt other sciences too, in the USA, and quickly.
