That seems normal. The modern definition of anxiety may as well be a description of dysautonomia. Naturally people suffering from dysautonomia will find that description fitting. And depression's definition may as well be the definition of feeling ill, at least the more broadly used on, not the...

I assume they will never make that mistake again. I'm just kidding of course they will do it again because it's fully deliberate and they don't have to care about anything but themselves.

Just the fact that this is getting such media coverage is incredibly suspicious as to who is abusing their authority here. The only real thing to cover here is how cult-like pseudoscience is being taken seriously by medical authorities. Everything else is irrelevant. Late-stage medicine looks...

Yeah so this is 100% a cult and frankly every single medical professional enabling this needs to be fired for cause, zero tolerance. At best it's gross negligence. And good comparison to Scientology, it sounds basically the same.

That's usually just there as a warning so they can say "we told you so" when they try to pressure but there is unlikely that there is a basis for this. None of this is technical or proprietary in a formal sense. Not to say it's impossible they would try anything legal but there isn't much of a...

Long-Haul COVID Brings Long Road to Recovery https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20210630/long-haul-covid-brings-long-road-to-recovery Despite 90% odds of recovery, somehow a single N=1 case is significant. Yes, it's Garner. With 90% recovery out of millions, it's probably very hard to find...

Didn't most of the recent LC funding go to GP practices? Which obviously is not even close to be capable of handling this. Even in normal times it wouldn't be, but when you add well over a year of backlogs in basic screening, GPs are the last place where this can be handled properly. Hopes and...

Why do people keep repeating this obviously false claim? If only we had anything to manage symptoms things would be so much better. Suffering symptoms and managing symptoms are entirely different things, when they are managed it's when you've alleviated at least some of the suffering. "You're on...

That's some Deepak Chopra level crap a few replies down when someone points out to him he clearly doesn't know a damn thing about ME. The level of Deepak Chopra level crap in medicine is too damn high. As we all know, it's when you have nothing but woo-filled thought-terminating clichés that...

Great article. My only gripe is this obviously false statement: Although that's easy to miss for any one person, thousands of people did anticipate it, including some scientists, even left a record of it. This must be recognized, the pretense that this caught everyone by surprise needs to end...

Considering the unreliability of mental health diagnosis, this tells us nothing. Strong chances this has nothing to do with mental health and everything to do with mass misdiagnosis. Or nothing at all.

Hmmm... unlikely that someone for whom GRADE is so central to her work will be able to acknowledge the massive flaws that lead to very low quality "research" to be judged arbitrarily to fit a pre-sought outcome by teams biased for that purpose, how easy it has been to manipulate it simply based...

Setting aside that anything from KCL is unlikely to be good on this issue, not specifically for these findings, but reading long hauler reports for the last year it's pretty clear that a % of those would normally fall under the fibromyalgia diagnosis without the context of Covid. Very few seem...

Collaboration intensifies Iwasaki is an immunologist running a study on Long Covid prevalence in vaccinated people (and I think also the effect of vaccines on long haulers?) and also been cited many times in the last year in articles, seems motivated to research beyond LC.

Well, yeah. Just like discriminated communities labeled as "naturally criminal" tend to have more crime, because of overzealous policing and socioeconomic circumstances feeding the cycle, planting of evidence, prosecutorial misconduct and other enforced errors. But if they understood that they...

Oops, that's the one I meant. Corrected. Also: What a mess. And dozens of new acronyms are being added and many more, all to say the same thing. This is maximum dysfunction, no one can figure anything out when basic vocabulary is so broken.

Amazing lack of self-awareness and inability to see consistency for what it is. This is truly a religion, or a religious-type of belief. Blatantly obvious that what they call "attacks" are just basic criticism. It's truly alarming that hardly anyone recognizes how obvious this is. Especially...

It's unclear whether related to Long Covid, though suspected, but this description sounds a lot like ME. However for unknown reasons, they are calling it Chronic Immune Response Syndrome, which as best as I can tell is not a thing. There is something called Chronic Infectious Inflammatory...

Ah, makes more sense. There are so many corrections to be made it's hard to follow.
