    Patients with severe ME/CFS need hope and expert multidisciplinary care, 2025, Miller et al

    The person/people behind Long Covid Advocacy write quite well on BPS nonsense. There's sometimes a little too much "academic-speak" for my liking, but overall pretty good: https://www.longcovidadvoc.com/my-blog

    Open ReMEdi clinical trial, UK [Lindus Health, Alfred E. Tiefenbacher GmbH]

    I noticed yesterday that Dominic Cummings had a Lindus Health t-shirt on during a recent interview. I thought I recognised the name from somewhere.

    Ligaments and tendons

    I feel exactly the same. I have written about it here, I think. It's like my body cannot properly heal any injuries to soft tissue. I have issues that started 10–15 years ago that will not resolve. And, yes, any repetitive use makes things much worse. I have a problem with the soft tissue around...

    The Relation Between Cardiac Output and Cerebral Blood Flow in ME/CFS Patients with a POTS Response During a Tilt Test, 2025, van Campen et al

    They are saying the second group — who had a smaller change in CO during tilt (red in their Fig 2) — is indicative of a hyperadrenergic response, whereas in the other group (blue in their Fig 2) there is an almost 1:1 relationship between the change in cerebral blood flow and cardiac output...

    Notice about a forthcoming paper: A Proposed Mechanism for ME/CFS Invoking Macrophage Fc-gamma-RI and Interferon Gamma

    Just to clarify: is this a general statement about results forthcoming, or have you seen specific results?

    Patients with severe ME/CFS need hope and expert multidisciplinary care, 2025, Miller et al

    Yes I saw that your comment was submitted several days ago and thought that they may have screened it. But they don't seem to screen everything, nor do they seem to make appropriate edits, such as to obvious typos.

    Patients with severe ME/CFS need hope and expert multidisciplinary care, 2025, Miller et al

    That's how I feel after spending time on a response. It's clear that the BMJ does not screen these responses, even minimally, despite having a letters editor. I get that none of this is peer-reviewed, but it does undermine the whole rapid response thing if non-genuine (whether produced by a bot...

    I wouldn't waste time on content created by AI. The content adds nothing to the conversation because it's all generic stuff with a few things about telemedicine.

    Patients with severe ME/CFS need hope and expert multidisciplinary care, 2025, Miller et al

    These are 100% AI responses. I stand by my claim that these are not real people.

    Patients with severe ME/CFS need hope and expert multidisciplinary care, 2025, Miller et al

    It's all just made up. I don't think people realise there are hundreds of thousands of papers published that are totally made up. This is from the supplementary material for second paper you linked: These people don't exist. The papers are fake. It's all fake...

    Referencing only studies in the original piece is the big giveaway. Chinese affiliation and address — the BMJ is UK focused, as is this article. The overall structure and the structure of the arguments are very AI.

    Patients with severe ME/CFS need hope and expert multidisciplinary care, 2025, Miller et al

    Nope. Definitely some sort of AI / paper mill. Just writing comments/letters on a load of disparate subjects in a load of different journals, all from the past few weeks. There are two other comments from the past 11 days in the BMJ alone. https://www.bmj.com/content/389/bmj.r822/rr...

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

    The SIRPA conference *is* the King's College 'lecture', except it's not a lecture, it's a conference talk and has nothing to do with King's College. I think whoever is posting on FB is not quite getting details correct.

    I have a hard time believing this unless someone provides a screenshot. I am on X at various stages throughout the day and I or others would have seen this.
