Setting aside that anything from KCL is unlikely to be good on this issue, not specifically for these findings, but reading long hauler reports for the last year it's pretty clear that a % of those would normally fall under the fibromyalgia diagnosis without the context of Covid. Very few seem...

Collaboration intensifies Iwasaki is an immunologist running a study on Long Covid prevalence in vaccinated people (and I think also the effect of vaccines on long haulers?) and also been cited many times in the last year in articles, seems motivated to research beyond LC.

Well, yeah. Just like discriminated communities labeled as "naturally criminal" tend to have more crime, because of overzealous policing and socioeconomic circumstances feeding the cycle, planting of evidence, prosecutorial misconduct and other enforced errors. But if they understood that they...

Oops, that's the one I meant. Corrected. Also: What a mess. And dozens of new acronyms are being added and many more, all to say the same thing. This is maximum dysfunction, no one can figure anything out when basic vocabulary is so broken.

Amazing lack of self-awareness and inability to see consistency for what it is. This is truly a religion, or a religious-type of belief. Blatantly obvious that what they call "attacks" are just basic criticism. It's truly alarming that hardly anyone recognizes how obvious this is. Especially...

It's unclear whether related to Long Covid, though suspected, but this description sounds a lot like ME. However for unknown reasons, they are calling it Chronic Immune Response Syndrome, which as best as I can tell is not a thing. There is something called Chronic Infectious Inflammatory...

Ah, makes more sense. There are so many corrections to be made it's hard to follow.

So it really sounds like a vacuum word, used simply because a correct term has not been agreed on. Bit like how fatigue is used to cover every damn possible symptom in existence, stripping away all meaning those words have. Where there is a vacuum for a correct term, people will use another one...

Unfortunately, they don't even trust their own research findings and no one makes them so they will completely overlook those negative findings and in fact continue promoting them. They genuinely don't trust their own research, because it's not research, it's outcome-seeking. So when they don't...

Wait. Sick people ARE sick?? No way. It's almost like inventing a fake category of "things we don't understand yet=fake" is as a bad idea. Almost, because it's a catastrophically terrible idea stemming from incompetence and hubris. And of course more baggage than a large airport terminal can...

This is obviously ridiculous. Why are ridiculous statements so common in medical research? Are these people not aware that most people don't exercise regularly and that deconditioning obviously does not fluctuate or occur from a mere week of lower activity? Or of the circumstances that most...

Is that supposed to be it? This is the "correction"? Which they specifically framed to misleadingly suggest no harm rather than no benefit? Which is obviously not supported and is not the issue and even less of a correction? I mean I expected nothing but still, wow. These people have truly...

I'm genuinely surprised they made something out of it at all instead of pretending it doesn't matter. I fully expected this to be overlooked entirely when she wasn't rejected for having obviously biased views to begin with. Small bit of progress.

Abstract Background: Long COVID describes new or persistent symptoms at least four weeks after onset of acute COVID-19. Clinical codes to describe this were recently created. Aim: To describe the use of long COVID codes, and variation of use by general practice, demographics and over time...

Definitely not just in England. GPs in England ‘failing to recognise thousands of long Covid cases’ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jun/30/gps-in-england-failing-to-recognise-thousands-of-long-covid-cases The study: Clinical coding of long COVID in English primary care: a federated...

Is there a good general one? I've seen some variations of... immune-mediated, immunological or something like that, but they aren't typically used.

Same with CODES. Saw it a few times recently, generalizing CBT to FND. Without rationale or justification either, and of course ignoring the null result. Because what's a null result if not a frowny face downside up?
