Do people get notified when they are unfollowed? Edit : I'm just curious - I don't have a Twitter account but I do read some Tweeters.

I haven't been tested but think I would be a good candidate for testing.

A finish line that, until recently, was all of their choosing.

So, if I understand this correctly... There is a treatment available which is not helpful. The same treatment is given over the internet. And the results from the internet version are not inferior to the non-internet version. Well... Err... Yes... That was useful.

I tried this link, but it just wouldn't recognise what I entered. So, how did you go about finding it?

I haven't recorded an NHS appointment but I do take my husband with me to appointments. It is astonishing how much more polite doctors and other medical staff are to me when there is a witness, particularly when that witness is male.

Perhaps more females than males are traumatised in childhood. My upbringing was very sexist, and my brother was the favoured child in virtually everything.

@NelliePledge From my point of view MUS comes across as the ultimate "Get out of jail free card" for any doctor whose diagnostic skills are poor. If they don't know what diagnosis to give they can just blame the patient and pass them on to the therapists who've had a week's training in CBT. And...

One thing that no journalist ever asks of these researchers who are, allegedly, in deadly danger from mad patients is... 1) How many times have the police arrested one of these patients? 2) How many have been charged with a crime? 3) How many court cases have their been? 4) How many people...

Sometimes I'm very slow on the uptake. I wondered why anyone had discussed fish. Edit : I just wanted to add that I'm not koi about carp or any other form of swearing.

I'm glad you got relief from the problem eventually.

My concern about the 52% figure for MUS is that the default diagnosis for a patient with MUS is that they are mentally ill. Gaslighting of patients with mental health problems seems to be rampant in any discipline. People who are mentally ill are often denied effective pain relief and accurate...

There is another facet to this problem. Once a patient has a diagnosis suggesting they have a mental illness of some kind on their records it dramatically increases the level of proof doctors want for any future diagnosis to be of biological origin. And the inevitable result of this is detailed...

Going off at a tangent, psychological and personality factors have been implicated by doctors and researchers in people catching tuberculosis for 200 years? or more? How did such beliefs help anyone get better? How many people were cured? Research into the personality of patients with...

Medical records in the NHS are dreadful. Doctors will lie if telling the truth will put them in a bad light. If they get something wrong they tend to make it disappear. As a 13-year-old I had a very serious medical issue that is (nowadays) described as a medical emergency. I was in extreme pain...

Wonderful news, @JohnTheJack ! :trophy@:emoji_beers: :emoji_champagne_glass:

I think we can safely say that various members of the BPS brigade are having a bad day. Will they try to brazen it out? How long for, do you think?

Am I right in thinking @Webdog , webdog6 and Jeff Schwartz are all one and the same person?

The garbage about there being over 50% of patients with MUS and/or somatoform disorder must be compounded by the fact that there is no standard way of feeding back an accurate diagnosis to a doctor who found nothing wrong with the patient. Many cases of MUS must be solved eventually, not least...
