I think what they are trying to do is advertise their business and make pots of money by selling tests.

Tou may need to shorten the question to fit it into the poll. Maybe something like Which option best describes your sleep at the beginning of a crash?

No. She reported they were preparing a draft to suggest to the editor. She probably wasn't allowed to reveal what it said. Clearly the editor rejected their draft.

Your question says 'that night'. Do you mean the first night after the excess exertion and before or at the start of the crash? My sleep changes over the nights for as long as the crash lasts. I think I remember correctly that tired but wired often happens on that first night and is the first...

I think it's worth adding tired but wired as an option. It's not just about not being able to sleep it's mental and physical restlessness a bit like having too much caffeine. Also I think it would be worth asking if it happens specifically at the beginning if a crash.

Thanks, we are aware, the links will be fixed.

When I was an MEA member and received the magazine I always thought most of it was page filler rubbish, and ads for dubious therapists. I soon only skimmed the medical updates from Charles Shepherd, then it went in the recycling. I could just as easily have read the medical stuff and odd bits of...

I feel that we are becoming an increasingly isolated island of sanity in a world gone mad. We are under seige from all directions.

I really don't think it's helpful calling it Long Covid after only 4 weeks. I thought most studies used 12 weeks.

Over exertion causing insomnia is well know to pwME as 'tired but wired'. For me it often a sign PEM is about to strike.

It's a pretty good and accurate article. I'm not surprised the Cochrane comment about their withdrawal policy omits to mention that they can withdraw reviews on the ground of harm. Good to see our petition quoted.

We have seen on forum discussions that some pwME find arms above the head activities unexpectedly exhausting. I notice it particularly when putting clothes on and off that have to go over the head. Replacing an overhead light bulb is really problematic.

The article does say there have been pauses to some NIH activities when some other administrations came in, but this is much more drastic.

As I read this abstract I was anticipating a report on follow up with the patients after surgery. Nothing. Surely with that number of patients treated with such major surgery they should include a careful study and report of outcomes.

Trouble is, they are descriptive categories not measurements. And the order they are placed in is arbitrary. So the pattern seen by joining the dots is also arbitrary. Change the order the descriptive categories are placed in and what looked like an elephant turns into a snake, metaphorically...

I can understand that clinicians who by the nature of the job have to deal with people suffering and in distress every day sometimes themselves need support, and need to be aware of and take care of their own mental health. I can see that learning to practice self compassion might appeal to some...
