    The Impact of Long COVID on Employment and Well-Being: A Qualitative Study of Patient Perspectives, 2024, MacEwan

    We don't. But apparently the medical profession seems hell bent on doing so.

    Unfavourable glucose metabolism is associated with functional somatic disorders. A cross-sectional general population-based study: 2024 Dantoft, Fink+

    I get the sore dry throat too. Pretty much a permanent feature now. Plus sore and firm, and slightly enlarged glands, mainly on the left side for some reason. Maybe complete coincidence, but I had a manual prostate examination many years ago and the doctor said it was normal size but quite...

    Unfavourable glucose metabolism is associated with functional somatic disorders. A cross-sectional general population-based study: 2024 Dantoft, Fink+

    I get annual bloods, and with the exception of ALP, they are nearly always normal. The exceptions have been triglycerides and fasting glucose, which have only been marginally high a couple of times each, and the more specific diabetes test has been negative on the two high glucose results. For...

    Unfavourable glucose metabolism is associated with functional somatic disorders. A cross-sectional general population-based study: 2024 Dantoft, Fink+

    Digging into the memory bank a bit, but I recall there is some evidence that the number of molecules in the saturated dairy fat chain is a significant factor. Specifically whether it is odd or even.

    The Concept of ME/CFS, 2024, Edwards

    Although the cause(s) of ME/CFS remain unknown, it is obvious that its pathophysiology resides between the stress, immune, and nervous systems. Such unjustified certainty is why we have had so little progress, and so much regress in this field.

    United Kingdom: ME Association news

    Yep. At least if they were openly mocking and dismissing us, and not even pretending, it would be clear to all. But the pretence of caring and having something useful to offer is vastly more difficult to expose and counteract. Which is why they keep doing it, instead of simply admitting they got...

    For which malady the only effective treatment is an immediate and complete Xitterectomy.

    That study is the poster child for how fundamentally broken medicine is on this stuff.

    The HPA axis and the genesis of chronic fatigue syndrome, 2004, Cleare

    You will never be taken seriously by the pros with that kind of amateur ignorance. The correct technical term is 'percussive maintenance'. ;)

    Australia: National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC): Development of ME/CFS guidelines

    Or that it gives the psycho-behavioural crowd more time to flood the literature with their usual repetitious methodologically inferior nonsense to pump the numbers, knowing full well how much ground has still to be made up for the biomedical stuff to get a fair run. Also looks like the core of...

    Most up-to-date professionals have long since shelved the Lightning Process. Which raises the question of why the hell were they recommending such obvious methodological and ethical garbage in the first place?

    The Concept of ME/CFS, 2024, Edwards

    I have similar concerns. The reports of association between onset and an apparent infectious event, could be just biased reporting, or the causation could even be the other way around – the immediate onset process (briefly) rendering the patients more susceptible to incidental opportunistic...

    UK : South Coast fatigue service

    Yes, a little Occam's Razor would go a long way here. Just far too many arbitrary assumptions, inferences, extrapolations, etc, required for their model. None of which have stood up to robust scrutiny, let alone the model as a whole. The best fit model is still the simplest and most obvious...

    Perrin Technique

    Perrin thinks he has found the answer to every unexplained medical problem. It is gold standard woo.
