I don't know what they would like us to do but a long hot bath (with some salt in it, idk if that is relevant) is something that has rarely failed to give me roughly half an hour of useable time afterwards and a significant temporary reduction in subjective pain levels. It is impractical for...

I have a few questions on this stuff. Hopefully someone can help me understand! How do I 'metabolize emotions psychologically' if I do not have difficulties with it? How do I properly measure 'Adaptive Defenses'? How do I adjust for luck if I want to measure 'resilience' by how many...

Oh goodness, whoever wrote that letter must have horribly overvalued the importance of the small amount of ME sufferers who are into this physical/psychical debate in general. It is true that those people who even engage in that part of the debate do the bigger community a disservice because it...

I am a bit disappointed you didn't get 'adorable sloth'. For the time being I will reserve judgement. If Joh is correctly identified as inActivist the test is good enough for me.

HoldMyBeer... Edit: Nope, I am apparently amongst the rarest with 2.5% for Protagonist. Commoner would be: • ISFJ - Defender Personality (13.8%) • ESFJ - Consul Personality (12.3%) • ISTJ - Logistician personality (11.6%). Anyone lame here? Anybody?

So he is more or less explicitly advertising his weird unstable current mechanism thingy as being helpful in conditions psychological and physiological however they may be defined. Interesting.

I just mulled this over a bit in my head and... maybe we can actually approach this slightly differently and (hopefully) more efficiently. The point with PACE specifically was that it was a trial designed in a way that can never answer any relevant question right from the outset. I would argue...

If they are harassing and driving away the kind of 'researchers' that feel threatened when you analyze their stuff properly this should not just be fine by me, but by literally everyone interested in psychological research. Heck, this is what proper peer review should have done in the first place.

Maybe she had one of them 'abundance' LP treatments by that Parker fellow and yelled 'STOP!' at her empty bank account a lot and this is how her healing process expresses itself.

I guess I'll do our standard writeup this time! On the part relevant to us: The way this is worded it seems as if he was indeed studying ME, which is also called CFS, and his research found that a third of those patients with make a full recovery riding the cbtgettrain. This confuses me...

I generally can't read entire books most of the time. I wonder if an audio version of something like this is economically viable... I imagine there must be more people who have a problem like the two of us, but Idk how many copies a book like this one can expect to sell. I do hope it's a...

It is a bit hard to translate with all their cultist language and whatnot, but my guess would be that 'lacking access to emotional distress' means you are doing 'having emotions' wrong. The 'performance-based assessment of distress' probably gauges how distressed you 'really' are by some arcane...

I did not necessarily refer to the discussion in this thread with my 'emotionally loaded'-comment, but the reaction to ECT in general. This is brought up repeatedly because it is hard to see why else you would be against using it when it is actually the appropriate (and usually, only available)...

I think the reason why this gets emotionally loaded quickly is because we all have a lot of experience with those Freudian guys and would not want them to be in charge of anything serious ever. The problem for patients is that it is impossible to tell which kind of person you will be dealing...

So the game is a slightly elaborate questionnaire with weird feedback interspersed with what I condescendingly assume to be an old person's interpretation of the concept of action games then? Yes, I am being deliberately snarky because I just assume that this will most likely be used as an...

I don't know if this is necessarily the same as straight up hair loss, but allegedly problems with thyroid hormones can lead to a lot of hair falling out. But the only case I know that might be related still has a nice amount of hair left after all and afaik got it under control with taking a...

I wonder if this has to do with glycogen reserves (and the water subsequently pulled in). I remember doing very high rep squats (50+ with just the empty bar) giving me really hard feeling legs within days which dissipated almost as quickly. Have we ever been tested for glycogen storage in...

'Research misconduct is a problem in science, therefore we have to change the topic we are studying' is probably the cleanest epitomization of a non-sequitur I have seen recently.

I don't know if posting this will necessarily advance this topic, but I was reminded of a video I watched a couple days ago: The guy (who died a bit over half a year after this was taken) talks about his experience with chemo and it mirrors my illness experience a lot. But this is a state...

I do find it oddly comforting that even he himself cannot keep up with his own bullshit. No, wait, I'm sure he is on top of it and what he intended to communicate was that some people which are very much not him use 'ME' and 'CFS' interchangeably but he has no control over that and has to...
