Catastrophizing goes around in pain self-management programs and in pain research. They believe that patients’ thoughts make their pain worse. It also appeared in a research questionnaire for a non-related surgical follow-up. I didn’t like that, and since i made comments on the questionnaire...

Well done @Hutan. Women are in general responsible for caring for their children, elderly parents, the household, and then they have a job. If you get injured or take a sickness leave from work, these days, you get forced into a return to work program. Then you return home and you still have to...

Why are women targeted in this instance of musculoskeletal pain? Are men treated differently, is it that their pain more legitimate compared with women? it seems like an invitation to stigmatize and treat women’s pain differently, through psychology rather than physical injury.

Certainly, the more food restrictions one has, the more chances for nutrient deficiencies. But again my point is regardless of what we eat, we are still sick.

i am sorry @leokitten. I think that regardless of how long we’ve been sick, we are yearning of recovering normal function and to be well enough to be our old selves again. It’s heartbreaking that scientific advances are so slow, that people are so sick and that it’s so difficult to access...

This is a rehab, CBT, GET program. i wonder what happens with the children that cannot keep up with this regimen and who cannot achieve the goals despite doing all they can to reach them? Are they ostracized and are they punished by removing access to care and services?

I would believe that metabolomics would inform how functional each individual is in terms of converting food into glucose. I would presume that for some, breaking down fats is next to impossible, and if coupled with further difficulty in other ways of obtaining glucose, then that person would...

Dietary Supplements Pose Real Dangers to Patients Full text here Abstract The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act led to a flood of poor-quality dietary supplements. The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) jurisdiction is limited to removing products proven unsafe, rather than...

She’s a podiatrist?!?

Well, these folks interpret the research their own way, pick and choose whatever makes sense to them and their business. Their goal, making money and gaining influence to gain more money.

There is truly a market for desperate people. The claims of recovery can be marketed. It can be a therapy, a device that is sold or rented, it can be a diet, supplements. It could also be a diagnostic test (live blood analysis, anyone? hair testing?). It’s been going on for decades.

if this is a pinched nerve, you may find relief with a good massage, or simply trying to stretch your cervical spine by placing a tennis ball between your neck and the floor, or your neck and the wall and roll gently. Trying some stretching could also be helpful. Stretch your neck gently and...

Numbness or tingling can happen if you have a nerve pinch, and depending where the pinch is, it can affect only certain fingers- look up ‘dermatome chart’ Fingers and toes tingling would be more related to small fibre neuropathy where the most small nerves are affected. And of course, most of...

I think also that N=1 or 2 or 3 will be a problem as well. Did they represent the disease? how long were they sick for? Is aging involved in the pathology?

Maybe you should return to your doctor and find out whether you indeed have MG, because there are some treatments for that.

What symptoms are you talking about Rosie, Magnesium intolerance?
