It is not patients who are behaving like anti-vaxxers.

Long COVID is best considered as a group of infection associated conditions requiring developing research studies and treatment trials that address the inherent heterogeneity. I think we just don't know enough to be confident about that. I don't see a fatal flaw with the alternative...

To qualify my previous comment a bit. I do find some heat (particularly a hot shower) good for relaxing and soothing aching muscles. But it can be draining if you overdo it. It is a balancing act.

Interesting. I had not heard of this. Thanks.

Excellent article. Thank you. :) Because if they did they would be opening themselves to massive lawsuits. They know that. They do not have the courage of their convictions. It is bluff and bluster, and arrogance and dishonesty, and cowardice all the way down. As always. ––––––––– Find...

Their goal was to “take critical voices seriously and eliminate misunderstandings about CBT.” Yeah, that is the problem, our misunderstandings. It is all our fault. I do not believe for a second these people are that stupid or ignorant. They do not have that excuse. They know what they are doing.

Do any other conditions have this onerous drivel shoved down their throats? Or are we special?

It is a very interesting comment. :nerd: I think so. Though could also be just an incidental effect of the disease process.

Having direct active links in citations, or even just a doi, can save considerable time & effort. Being able to find something with a bit of hunting is okay for one or two things. But that extra time and work adds up fast when checking a whole lot in one sitting. I definitely get this. One of...

with cellular oxidative stress as a predominant feature. News to me. Is this confirmed?

Exactly. Plus the stigma and prejudice that goes with it, especially when your disability is invisible to others. There are no secondary benefits. There are only primary and secondary losses.

One app to rule them all.
