    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    People pay $200 per month but if you buy lifetime access now it is $349 - less than the cost of 2 months. Alternatively, it costs bugger all to run but I’d like a large cash injection, so I will over inflate the price, create a false economy sale and then make up some other offers in the...

    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    You have to do scuba diving and 7 mile runs alongside the brain training, otherwise you will still have the Long Covid or whatever illness he’s nominating today. Gutted he had a whole science career where he never heard the saying “correlation is not causation”

    The ruling out of other conditions: do you think you've had adequate ruling out of other conditions?

    My early days were the “good news, your test results are fine - it’s not cancer!” And the “so, what is it you expect to get out of this appointment” days. I doubt anything “else” was really checked out, and since then nothing has needed to be checked out because it was already checked.

    The ruling out of other conditions: do you think you've had adequate ruling out of other conditions?

    I think narcolepsy was ruled out because I only had hypnagogic hallucinations however I didn’t know narcolepsy was being considered. If I had, I would have spoken about the times I thought I was getting narcolepsy and falling asleep, or unable to move… Although that was Peter White, who...

    The ruling out of other conditions: do you think you've had adequate ruling out of other conditions?

    I definitely have other stuff going on. I also have no idea how to answer the question “how do you know they ruled out MS”

    It’s just this sort of anti-recovery activism we’d expect from the likes of you, @Trish :laugh:

    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    Are you familiar with the tv comedy writer Graham Linehan? His “journey” is fascinating. And very upsetting. Whether you dislike or like his viewpoint/opinion it’s a really interesting progression - the effect it’s had on his life.

    I suspect it’s all ego. I’m no psychoanalyst/head dr/Fraser Crane/Freud fan but I did attend the school of life and there’s just a lot which fits.

    He can say what he wants, nobody particularly respects him on the subject, or wants to hear it. There are people out there just now on the internet who are swearing that Prince Harry doesn’t have kids and the children you see are actors, doesn’t make it believable.

    UK BACME ME/CFS Guide to Therapy 2025

    It’s really bugging me that they can say they're not recommending GET on the basis that GET is fixed increments, irrespective of pain/deterioration. But they are normalising increasing your activity when it just isn’t possible a lot of the time.

    Honestly he needs no “community notes” the absolute dismissal/silence/grey rock is enough.

    I don’t think we are to put personal comments but what I will say is that now I have a lot more “tick” on my list of assumptions. Bet we have the same GP.

    Open Validation of the Vienna Post-Exertional Malaise Assessment Questionnaire (V-PEM-AQ) – Rob Wüst

    It would be better to ask people to think of their last PEM, grade how “bad” it was then try to think what caused it. The causes could then be grouped. That would erase the ridiculous “oops we forgot about severe ME…just add in “does chewing and swallowing cause PEM, after where it asks whether...

    Open Validation of the Vienna Post-Exertional Malaise Assessment Questionnaire (V-PEM-AQ) – Rob Wüst

    I feel like questionnaires about PEM need to get in the bin until someone comes up with a really new, unique, different way of looking at it. It feels like a constant churn of “if you climb a stepladder on a Friday whilst the clouds hide the sun, do you get sick?” It’s just endless lists of...

    Why I Can’t Just Meet You for Dinner: The Reality of Post-Exertional Malaise

    I remember an absolute incident once after some people had “unconscious bias” training. Basically they were confronted with the world-altering news that because everyone has some kind of unconscious bias, they did. They were so angry at being accused of something so awful. I mean furious...

    Why I Can’t Just Meet You for Dinner: The Reality of Post-Exertional Malaise

    People run out of patience. I’ve seen it a million times. Managers start getting all “right this has gone on long enough, this sickness needs to be resolved” ok Jim, sorry it’s adding to your mental load that Bob got run over then they discovered he had cancer, I think you’ll find losing your...
