    United Kingdom: National Inpatient Centre for Psychological Medicine (NICPM)

    It is interesting to note all the anecdotal reports of adverse effects. This would suggest either that there exists a clear subgroup for whom sertraline is beneficial, or clear warning of risk must have been given to obtain informed consent for treatment.

    Not in my case. That was in 1991. It takes along time for lessons to be learned.

    United Kingdom: National Inpatient Centre for Psychological Medicine (NICPM)

    Like everyone else, I am pleased to hear that Tal's health has improved, but I would endorse Joel's view that Sertraline should be viewed with suspicion. Many years ago I was prescribed sertraline along with another drug and told that the sertraline was effectively to enhance the antiviral...

    Michael Sharpe skewered by @JohntheJack on Twitter

    It does seem strange. In another discipline every third year undergraduate will learn about subconscious ex post facto reasoning. How can leading researchers be unaware of potential for bias and the consequent need for disclosure?

    Michael Sharpe skewered by @JohntheJack on Twitter

    This all makes me wonder whether there is any management, in a large trial, of questions of COI. Someone ought to be specifically tasked wth collecting, collating and updating COI information. They should then have to sign off on the declaration for any paper submitted for publication. Just...

    I am sure Geneva will be very congenial for those attending.

    Action for ME's administration and how that affects its views about treatment

    I have been rereading that post above by @Daisymay setting out grants made to Afme. The concept which seems best to describe the process is money laundering.

    Action for ME's administration and how that affects its views about treatment

    Sorry for the delay. I often lose track of alerts. If my memory is correct, and it may not be, it was at about this time that the MEA, depending on one's point of view, underwent either a hostile takeover or a democratic expression of members right of control. This saw CS removed for a period...

    David Tuller: Trial By Error: My Berkeley-Backed Crowdfunding Campaign

    Sharpe apparently fails to understand the difference between advocacy and the conduct of a supposedly scientific trial. It is not entirely clear where his argument leaves him with regard to the money accepted from the DWP.

    Action for ME's administration and how that affects its views about treatment

    Revisionist historians might reflect upon the little local difficulty experienced by the MEA which I think was at about the same time. It would have helped to render them wholly ineffective-as almost happened.

    USA Centers for Disease Control (CDC) news (including ME/CFS Stakeholder Engagement and Communication Calls) - next call 4 Dec 2024

    Perhaps they often use swimming pools and are concerned at hygiene standards. Clearly they do not expect to suffer from ME.

    David Tuller - Trial By Error: A Post About Andrew Lloyd

    There seems to be plenty of scope for both approaches. Isn't the nice cop/nasty cop method acknowledged procedure?

    Odds as bad as that suggest the need for a plan. Do we have one?

    Boom & Bust, where's the evidence?

    It would be interesting to know how often, and in how wide a group of patients, the phenomenon of the complete boom and bust cycle has been observed by those who opine on the subject. It is hard to see how a rational person in possession of the evidence could come to a psychiatric explanation...

    David Tuller - Trial By Error: A Post About Andrew Lloyd

    One suspects that the term "hypersenstivity" may have a number of uses and may not be used consistently.

    United Kingdom: Science Media Centre (including Fiona Fox)

    Does the Advice for researchers experiencing harassment include advice for SW to avoid Australia?We know of his concerns about ball tampering. Edit perhaps that should include EC, for reasons that are entirely beyond me.
