    BPS attempts at psychologizing Long Covid

    Apparently I need to do Sumo squats. I guess that my arthritic hips are just a figment of the x-rays imagination.

    Sci-Hub is one of the greatest things to come out of the whole internet webbie thing. :thumbup:

    BPS attempts at psychologizing Long Covid

    There are a lot of active bad-faith players on social media, and they are not all just random idiots and ignorant arseholes who now have a global soap box to spew their prejudices and hatreds. I am talking high level, well resourced and organised, and deliberate manipulation and poisoning of...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    @Snowdrop This guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustave_Gilbert I can't find the original source for it, but the quote is supposedly: “In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trails 1945-1949) I was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    There was a guy sent by the US Army (?) to observe the Nuremberg trials and report back on what we could learn about the psychology of the accused. His view was that evil is basically a lack of empathy. Not sympathy. Empathy. It is the inability to be able to see things from another person's...

    Improving teaching about medically unexplained symptoms for newly qualified doctors in the UK - Yon et al 2017

    Probably best then that you don't read too many history books, because that is the historically 'normal' situation across the board. Not just in psych or medicine. Yeah, that ain't gonna work. Not even for the medicos. :facepalm:

    CBT for ME that is accepted by the community.

    Or just get a friendly [insert pet of choice here], and skip the whole seeing a psych step.

    USA - Mayo clinic

    That would be the deconditioning that they still have not established the existence of. "may" By which they mean 'we have no idea'.

    Recruiting Adolescents With [CFS/ME] to Internet-Delivered Therapy: Internal Pilot Within a Randomized Controlled Trial, 2020, Knoop, Crawley et al

    Yep. It isn't just the researchers who carry the blame, it is the whole system that supports them. The researchers could not have got so far on their own. They needed substantial sustained material and political support and protection. And they have had it for 30 years. Not to mention patients'...

    Severe clinical outcomes of COVID-19 associated with proton pump inhibitors: a nationwide cohort study with propensity score matching, 2020, Lee et al

    Same story here. Only take enough to just control it (10mg Losec daily). Plus keep a bottle of Gaviscon handy for the occasional small top-up (maybe once every day or two). Totally worth it. Persistent serious acid reflux is very not fun. :dead::dead::dead:

    CBT for ME that is accepted by the community.

    Which was when their spin changed from 'patients are anti-psych', to 'a small hardcore militant group of anti-psych patients and hangers on (possibly violent) are preventing the vast majority of nice good patients from getting treatment'. And what @strategist & @Kitty said.

    Severe clinical outcomes of COVID-19 associated with proton pump inhibitors: a nationwide cohort study with propensity score matching, 2020, Lee et al

    Relevant to me, as a long term user of PPIs. Yet another reason to avoid getting COVID-19 in the first place. I'm guessing that should be 'susceptibility'.

    BMJ Management of post-acute Covid-19 in primary care, 2020, Greenhalgh et al

    That is a critical qualifier. It makes it symptom driven, which is pacing not GET.
