    Gulf War Illness - causes

    Doubtful we'll really know for sure, as whatever was given to the soldiers is classified and by the time it's declassified, it will be too late to research the subjects. I'm not sure about the Sarin. It's far too many people affected, it could not have possibly spread enough to affect so many...

    Characterizing Long COVID in an International Cohort: 7 Months of Symptoms and Their Impact, 2020, Hannah Davis et al

    I think they are. I can somewhat remember an online seminar they had and it included long haulers (but my bad memory though...). I just can't use it yet so I can't verify. I don't think it does a history, though, rather than a journal of current symptoms. We have so little information about...

    Who is Simon Wessely?

    When all is said and done, there won't be much left of Wessely's careers, awards and all. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-9273765/Gulf-War-syndrome-not-caused-depleted-uranium-munitions-study.html This lack of understanding, brought to you in part by Wessely "most satisfying...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    Almost a third of people with 'mild' Covid-19 still battle symptoms months later, study finds https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/19/health/post-covid-syndrome-long-haulers-gupta-wellness/index.html Posted mainly because of the reach this can have on CNN. Frankly I find the feigned optimism...

    Characterizing Long COVID in an International Cohort: 7 Months of Symptoms and Their Impact, 2020, Hannah Davis et al

    The surveys used for this paper have been open-sourced: https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Questionnaire_to_Characterize_Long_COVID_200_symptoms_over_7_months/13642553. Haven't checked if it's mostly ready-to-use including how to analyze them but it would be incredibly useful to do...

    Well-known, famous people with Covid-19 and Long Covid

    Not necessarily well-known personally but there is a growing number of professional athletes who are struggling, some to the point of putting their career on hold. So far it's more than a handful in professional hockey, including a high-profile prospect who was about to start his professional...

    UK - NHS England online tool and clinics for long Covid.

    One might even say that's the whole point. It's me, I'm one saying that.

    Caught up in Care: Crafting Moral Subjects of Chronic Fatigue, Risor and Lillevoll, 2021

    That's problematic because all those important things are things anyone working in a BPS mindset can't impact, so that makes them useless in the process. Which is true, but it's not the answer they want. They don't want to know what's important to us, they want to address things important to...

    Psychological well-being and illness perceptions in patients with hypopituitarism, Knoop et al, 2021

    To "objectify": verb degrade to the status of a mere object. "a deeply sexist attitude that objectifies women" express (something abstract) in a concrete form. "good poetry objectifies feeling" Definitely the first one. Not a single objective question in any of those biased generic...

    Studies relying on health records are a terrible idea. Those health records are less reliable than tea leaves.

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    Of course that's the whole point. If it gets defined, it will be harder to shunt it into the MUS void. Everyone who argues against defining LC wants it to be forgotten in the psychosomatic bin and won't care one bit about the consequences.

    Maximal handgrip strength can predict maximal physical performance in patients with chronic fatigue, 2020, Jammes et al

    Interesting. From personal experience it would probably be relevant, I don't know how generalizable it would be. I actually have to pace my self-massages, usually focused on legs and neck and shoulders, because after 10-15 seconds I simply can't go on, my muscles burn and basically can't apply...
