This may be due to the newness of Long COVID, not knowing what exertional intolerance is or how to manage it. Almost certainly.

Mr Hunt’s move to scrap the Work Capability Assessment, touted as “the biggest reform to the welfare system in a decade”, is intended to allow disabled people to work without losing their benefits. On the face of it that is a good idea. One of the big issues the disabled face is how punitive...

Yep, the stench from this rotting carcass is now overwhelming and undeniable. Dig a deep trench and bury it. The Cochrane model has clearly failed at its claimed purpose – to provide unbiased, high quality technical assessments in medicine.

Asking the right question is where good science starts.

I hope they are factoring in the critical variable of footwear type and design. In particular a raised heel, so common in footwear (i.e. zero life v. non-zero lift). Not to mention a proper fit, in particular the length-width ratio of the foot, what we used to call fractional fittings. My feet...

“post-infective fatigue syndrome.” PIFS :rolleyes:

CBT & GET for all.

Post-COVID Condition (PPC) Coz there just isn't enough new names and acronyms in play already. :facepalm: Slick website. ––––––––––– Difficult to see how things are going to improve, especially in clinical care, until methodological standards are lifted to a satisfactory minimum, meaning...

I hope that is true.

Technically a (variable threshold) noise gate. It is a potentially useful analogy, I think. If so, then the question is whether the noise gate mechanism itself is defective, or is it working properly but the signal it has to deal with has become too strong and/or distorted, and is now outside...

More of this approach please. :thumbup:

Yes, it is everybody else who is wrong. Not psychosomatic advocates.

Exactly. I would not be surprised if there is a whole cascade of stuff from whatever the primary pathology turns out to be.

Ah, the ol' hide the evidence by simply by not collecting it in the first place routine.

If this kind of coverage is on the likes of CNN, then it has gone mainstream.

The mass hysteria is the scare campaign that there is mass hysteria.

Looks to me like a straight advert for the clinic, and expanding the franchise.

I think these points need to be fact checked. Correct.
