Activity management sounds like handling kindergartners. It's like they can't help themselves being condescending, even when they have to do pacing, they will give it the most possibly insulting name as if we're just a bunch of toddlers who need our activities managed. And of course it's the...

The CMV Moderna vaccine appears to be entering phase 3.

Moved post Excess risk and clusters of symptoms after COVID-19 in a large Norwegian cohort https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.10.15.21265038v1 (Paragraphs mine for legibility) We aimed to calculate the excess risk and identify patterns of 22 symptoms up to 12 months after COVID-19...

A Belgian medical authority has published a report on Long Covid. No idea if it's any good.

I was unsure about the directness of the MEAction campaign, how it's pretty much prescriptive and may be badly received in a "who are you to tell us how to deal with this?" way but see a lot of praise and thanks in hindsight, pretty much for how simple it is. It's not that simple and it's not...

"Building a biopsychosocial model of"

In another disappointing reminder of how little interest there is for women's health in medicine, this has been obvious early on, very commonly reported in LC forums, yet barely recorded or studied at all. You'd almost think this is a taboo subject. Long Covid and menopause - the important...

This post has been copied and following discussion moved from the Long covid in the media thread. In another disappointing reminder of how little interest there is for women's health in medicine, this has been obvious early on, very commonly reported in LC forums, yet barely recorded or...

I think it should be expected that we will have to alert about most of those, I doubt this is a proactive thing. There is especially a lot of archived content out there, things no one will update but will remain published as is unless someone not only points it out but explains it in painful...

What's even more amazing is that it's literally the "effectiveness" of "psychosocial interventions" on those conditions that is cited as evidence for why they are psychosocial, e.g. PACE is commonly cited as having "proved" that ME is psychological since a psychosocial intervention is effective...

If this is the first, how can the introduction list it as having "been implicated"? If this is the first, the citation for the presence of "altered interoception" would be... itself. It's a recursive citation. Because this whole field is a parody of bad science. And many things have been...

In a letter. To the Daily Mail. I frankly can't understand the chain of events that would lead to that, it's so absurd and pathetic.

The usual message coming out so far has been that most exercise programs are not graded, allow patients to go at their own pace. This is especially important to argue the (false) notion that there is no coercion, since by its nature GET is coercive. Odd that they would argue the opposite here...

Yup I mentioned that a while ago, there are many large contracts signed off on this evidence base, from apps to training to provisioning services. Those create major legal problems not just for them, but for administrative and legal offices who will have to do damage control. Legal offices don't...

In what bizzaro universe are those psychosocial factors? Especially weird to include ability and disability, I guess because they wanted to list 3 things and couldn't come up with a third. Ah. Of course. Label stuff "psychosocial" and you can pretend it is by pointing at the label you just put...

I am fairly sure this is a sponsored video for a push by Moderna to market their upcoming vaccines, which appear on track to be multi-purpose and probably standardized in the near future, no reason why multi-pathogen immunizations can't be a standard part of preventative medicine. I mostly...

I think the article has already been posted but the author's summary is sometimes a bit more revealing than what editors allow.

I would trust the process more if it wasn't for blatant BS like this: The NIH is literally funding Jason's mono study. And of course there are several other pathogens already studied known to cause the same issues, on top of course of some bacteria like Lyme but that gets people into near...
