    Suicidal ideation in non-depressed individuals: The effects of a chronic, misunderstood illness, Devendorf et al, 2018

    This particular statistic can't be trusted. In 2003, when Cavanagh et al published it, the vast majority of researchers and doctors took it for granted that ME was a psychiatric condition. Just like at one time the vast majority of doctors and researchers believed women with MS were hysterical...

    Suicidal ideation in non-depressed individuals: The effects of a chronic, misunderstood illness, Devendorf et al, 2018

    Can anyone translate? Does this mean 1) "Chronic illness is often explained with depression" ? 2) "Chronic illness is often explained by depression" ? 3) "Suicide is often explained with depression" ? 4) "Suicide is often explained by depression" ? I hate it when I can't understand what is...

    The biology of coronavirus COVID-19 - including research and treatments

    But not me. I use as my yardstick the vaccinations I got as a child or young adult. I don't hear of outbreaks of (for example) diphtheria and whooping cough in the UK, and I was vaccinated against those. Before Covid-19 the fastest development of a vaccine from beginning to end was the one...

    UK: NICE Longcovid guideline 2020

    @Esther12 The quote in your post #4 is absolutely appalling! Turner-Stokes is utterly delusional.

    Functional gastrointestinal disorders: advances in understanding and management, 2020, Black, Ford et al

    This is absolutely absurd. One of the commonest effects of hypothyroidism is that sufferers develop severe indigestion and acid reflux. It is known amongst many patients on the thyroid forum I read that this is caused by reduced secretion of stomach acid. But before most of them find out the...

    Genesis and dissemination of a controversial disease: chronic Lyme, 2020, Gocko et al

    From post #1 in this thread : So, the authors would approve of all medical information being wiped from the web, so that it could be put under the control of doctors? They don't like it when patients know as much as or more than them about the patient's own health problems?

    Three principles/innate health: The efficacy of psycho-spiritual mental health education for people with CFS, 2020, El-Mokadem et al

    So religions are trying to find more ways to brainwash the masses? That's very, VERY disturbing. As if there wasn't enough religious strife in the world as it is.

    Amitriptyline Downregulates Chronic Inflammatory Response to Biomaterial in Mice, 2020, Scheuermann et al

    Interesting idea. My heart rate has been quite high for years - at least the last 10 - 12 years I would say. It isn't that uncommon for me to have a heart rate over 90, but these days I take a small dose of a beta blocker if it goes too high. For me, life with a high heart rate (100+) is...

    New draft NICE guidelines for chronic pain emphasises exercise, CBT and acupuncture over medication

    Interestingly enough, Jo Daniels Twitter account seems to have been suspended. Edit : Turns out that the Twitter account has been restricted by Daniels herself such that tweets can only be read by members "approved" by her. When I click on the above link I get told the account has been...

    Amitriptyline Downregulates Chronic Inflammatory Response to Biomaterial in Mice, 2020, Scheuermann et al

    I actually did well on low-dose (20mcg per night if I remember correctly) Amitriptyline for a short time. It reduced pain and improved my sleeping. Unfortunately, within a few weeks my heart rate shot up to 150 beats per minute. Tachycardia is a known side-effect of the drug which is listed in...
