I am a bit skeptical about this. https://publichealth.berkeley.edu/news-media/research-highlights/new-screening-tool-may-predict-chronic-pain-before-it-starts/

Will it ever end?

Best wishes @Rosie, will be thinking of you.

I have to be honest, the technicality of this paper is way beyond me, but i have a few questions: 1) does their work warrant further study in this specific topic, what would it be and where would that lead? 2) if the clonal expansion leads to suggestion of autoimmunity, would this be grounds to...

I think that things are happening behind the scenes, but good research takes time and researchers cannot talk about it until it is published.

Some of the physicians who are part of this group believe it, and teach that to their patients as part of the CBT curriculum.

Clinicaltrial.gov notice about this trial states this: Dr Younger has been quiet as of late. Hopefully it means he is near publishing. The recent IACFSME conference had a presenter that made mention that LDN had not so much effect on fatigue, but was helpful for pain. She represented the...

Is there any reasons given as of why LDN trial is suspended?

At least one doctor in this group will say meditation and mindfulness

Some in the list just don’t prescribe drugs.

This one dr i know is all about management plan and CBT aimed at pacing activities, and if the patient crashes, then it’s because the patient deviated from that plan, they didn’t pace properly

This refers to central sensitization. from first view, it seems to be a mishmash of each one of the physicians in this group. I can recognize who got the MCAS part and who owns the meditation part.

Right. Could have fooled all of us with his knighthood and his ‘successful practice’ of fooling unsuspecting and vulnerable patients

So... doctors who seemingly will are also patients might have a taste of what ‘post-viral medicine’ has to offer: mindfulness, meditation, CBT and ‘It might take a few months to recover’. They may be offered a spot in the specialist ME clinics if in the uk, where they might get briefed on how...

Hi Scott, could you please link to the webpage and not the pdf, so we can see date of publication, and the rest of the information ? It also seems that the article is incomplete.

Without reading the paper, here is my comment: Take home lessons: pain very bad, very bad pain, we must do something about that. Seemingly EBV infections means pain??? Should they investigate other onsets too? Pain investigation means psych consult. Pain intervention means rehab and CBT

I agree with you @cassava7, and it is actually important to map out the specific impacts and co-morbidities associated with COVID such as clotting disorders, cardiac and pulmonary pathologIes and strokes. These seem to have been reported throughout the spring and summer, and only through long...

Is his response confidential or has it been shared somewhere else?

Ironic maybe but there is, Science Media Centre.

I attended. I missed the first block due to sleeping in (it was after all only 7 AM on the west coast). There were no major revelations, and because i missed the beginning i am not sure what is embargoed- Due to brain fog i will need to watch again to make sure i didn’t misunderstand any...
