    Muscle oxygenation [as assessed by NIRS - Near Infra-Red Spectroscopy]

    I'm noting your description of the method not involving anything 'invasive' for the muscle and to me that seems like it could be a potentially significant thing if it can be something which could be used as a measure where perhaps other methods which might involve biopsy or something invasive...

    The Chrysalis Effect

    Sorry just corrected original post ILM is institute of leadership and management

    The Chrysalis Effect

    CMa is competition and markets authority. with e.g. university courses then the information on brochures and websites has to be accurate and provide examples of evidence for each claim made in any materials the ILM seems to be what this course is claiming it is 'with' and that might be the...

    The Chrysalis Effect

    You are 100% correct and I’ve noticed it is the neuro journals focusing on FND that seem to be almost 100% only abstract accessibility pre paywall. and who knows what the actual truth is in the ‘research’ vs the claims in the abstract because these are not the normal format snd are method...

    The Chrysalis Effect

    Great. Now as this is a course she offers then the CMA need to be looking into flase or unevidenced claims the the description and materials and I do think if the ILM is allowing this to be listed then there is a quality assurance issue rd the content too ie it shouldn’t be being advertised but...

    The importance of screening for functional neurological disorders in patients with persistent post-concussion symptoms 2023 Debert, Silverberg et al

    It was interesting because yesterday (or maybe say before) I watched the daily politics show for a bit and, in relation to another topics (I think the getting sick people to get jobs working from home) Chris Bryant MP noted he worked closely with people with brain injuries and a big issue there...

    Characteristics and Treatment of Exercise Intolerance in Patients With Long COVID, 2023, Edward et al

    They should be required to retrain for saying this nonsense - if you can’t read something without inverting it that’s just not an excuse to keep your job where there is a responsibility to be on top of these things where is the self-respect anymore

    Characteristics and Treatment of Exercise Intolerance in Patients With Long COVID, 2023, Edward et al

    In fact don’t good training regimes for athletes require rest days isntvripping of muscles literally that and requires therefore time when you aren’t ripping them in order for them to grow back stronger hence ‘leg days and arm days’ it used to be that if someone got twitchy not being able to...

    The Chrysalis Effect

    What a snivelling, shifty, tap-dancing response it sounds like they think they can play advertising standards too. I expected little different from them though. Does anyone know if this person who runs it and claims to 'have recovered' so endlessly had any condition officially confirmed and...

    Review Effectiveness of physical activity interventions on reducing perceived fatigue among adults with chronic conditions: .. review.., 2023, Barakou et a

    And this report has managed to highlight the real issue at hand that has been undermining evverything for so long: an ambiguous definition of fatigue that means it doesn't require methodology that removes/isolates the psychological concept of 'fatigue' from the physical understanding of...

    The Dallas Bed Rest and Training Study, 2019, Mitchell et al.

    so they’ve claimed 30yrs of deterioration from 2weeks bed rest, based on 2/3 people with no interim checks over 30yrs? 2/3yr follow up would be interesting as might this if large enough number meant matched pairs wasn’t necessary but those numbers would need to be huge to account for so many...

    The Dallas Bed Rest and Training Study, 2019, Mitchell et al.

    Have I missed an actual control cohort where they had people not doing the bed rest first and then doing the training? 55 days physical training sounds heavy and I’m not fully sure what they thought they were showing/proving/testing?

    Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) - articles, social media and discussion

    Yes I can't tell whether the source of the issue is actual grandiosity or whether it is just cuddling bigotry so hard in order to keep being able to use conversion disorder whilst claiming they aren't bigots and tricking a new generation by making the words so dense and the rhetoric not...

    Review Psychological therapies delivered remotely for the management of chronic pain (excluding headache) in adults, 2023, Rosser et al

    Technically marketing is orienting to customer need, this is sales of stories or I suspect not marketing to the end-user at all but propaganda and sales to internal markets based on stating their cost is low and fudging the idea that it has any 'use'. The inclusion of the following line at all...

    Sudden realisation(trigger warning)

    It would be interesing to know if that was the case with other countries and psychosomatics, particularly in the ME-specific but in the 'general' of not looking further than psychosomatic just watch for example Chicago Med (US) tha seems to have a large amount of 'conversion disorder' stuff...

    Hypothesis Long COVID as a functional somatic symptom disorder caused by abnormally precise prior expectations during Bayesian perceptual processing, 2023, Joffe

    I'm so bored of this pretend job area existing explicitly to allow individuals to basically troll vulnerable people with bigotry - which is what this is - and then pretend it is 'Ok'd' rather than just hatred and rumour-mongering to do harm of the worst kind. There is nothing logical or medical...

    United Kingdom: Derbyshire Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) Service

    I find it unacceptable and unforgivable. I agree with others elsewhere talking about being nice to sides that basically say they don't care on the very 'claimed reason for being' point who think snaffling off the naff narcissistic term 'it's a debate' like 'it's a puppet' is funny. And I don't...

    All-or-Nothing Behavior and Catastrophic Thinking Predict Fatigue in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Prospective Cohort Study 2023 Moulton Chalder et al

    Also from the referenced paper of Artom et al (2016) that found no correlation with fatigue in general, and no causation: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/apt.13870 My bolding. Again the impression seems to be (and there is more detail on the other scales but I didn't want...

    All-or-Nothing Behavior and Catastrophic Thinking Predict Fatigue in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Prospective Cohort Study 2023 Moulton Chalder et al

    Yep it is as irrational and illogical in train of thought as a box of frogs. And the entire introduction a lesson in using rhetoric rather than academic literature as inferences of connections seemingly must be inferred just by them putting the lines next to each other - when did that become OK...

    All-or-Nothing Behavior and Catastrophic Thinking Predict Fatigue in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Prospective Cohort Study 2023 Moulton Chalder et al

    So they didn't check whether those 'negative assumptions about outcomes' were actually accurate to the same people 'having negative outcomes' - which would mean that it had nothing to do with thinking. In fact it is probably pretty hard to manage a condition like IBD without learning to be...
