And they still slander the whole community based on yet another failure.

Completely delusional. They have no idea what the problem is even about. They don't listen, don't pay attention to anything about us, aren't even trying to do something plausible or grounded in reality. I've been using ChatGPT and Gemini more these days. They've become very useful for many...

It's pretty fair to assume this is always the case. Far more than we'll ever know. Things like this don't happen without some people always pushing their agenda, leveraging power behind the scenes.

There's a lot in common with this framing and how the COVID pandemic, which killed 20M+ and disabled probably somewhere on the order of 50M+, and the way it's mostly framed these days is how it was so unfair and harsh for regular people, people who had the decency not to have pre-existing...

I don't even understand the point of asking for recovery or improvement stories. What is even the point here, other than in promoting quackery? Because there are plenty of recovery stories out there. Thousands and thousands. Some of them genuine. Some of them were temporary improvements that...

Claiming the right to punch someone in the face doesn't come with the right to claim that no one can object to being punched in the face, especially when they make it very clear they do not want, have had it happened, complained about it, and somehow some people are still going around claiming...

Ok, go ahead and insist that Parkinson's disease is fake and patients are faking it, see the reaction. It would be the same, for the same reasons. They never actually think about what they say. Most of those arguments basically boil down to: if you sucker-punch one of those people in the face...

It's nice to have imaginary scenarios.

Mostly it's nonsense, though. We are not "very active" at all, online or not. It's a farcical thing to argue about. We are mostly begging for help anyway, and they don't care so we have to insist, because reality works that way. It's mostly because there are so many of us, but we are fully...

It doesn't make sense to speak of co-morbidities here, and any notion of "additional symptoms" is entirely artificial on the basis of taking the whole picture, reducing it down to a few bites, declaring it the be-all-and-all explanation, thus leaving a whole lot out. Which they they 'discover'...

It's also completely expected! Of course they regularly see problems they don't understand. This is perfectly normal and probably a huge under-estimate, in that they don't count the many problems they just wave off unwritten because they are completely inconsequential. I'd say that it's...

A level of bias so high and quality so low that most professions wouldn't even look at the study, because every single evidence they use is absurdly much better than this. They are really showing how poor their judgment is, how obvious it is that they value a study's quality based on whether...

We know for a fact that it's massively under-diagnosed. This is a fact! They literally refuse to make most diagnoses, it's well-documented and -studied. Facts don't matter when people are vibing with feelings. This is not a way to run any professional anything!

I don't think I've ever seen a single profession discussion of this. Always over-diagnosis. Never under. Even though over-diagnosis is entirely an imaginary problem, in that the resulting problems are purely hypothetical. "Patient anxiety" is a lie, no one cares about that, they only care about...

Never. It's been one of the most harmful lies about us. We are as strong a testament to human resilience as it gets, and we have literally been cast aside for "not trying". I hate this lie so much. The liars who say these things about us know nothing about us. It's even well-documented enough...

Uhh. I guess the psych stuff is a special exempted boy? How utterly incoherent.

Anyone going to be the first to do that? No? OK, then. Let's keep the useless rehab loop going, clearly no one seems to mind in this profession.

There are all sorts of people with all sorts of beliefs out there but it would be nice if health care research took into account the fact that most of us aren't superstitious weirdos, that although this may affect a small number of people, this reads as ridiculous nonsense that gives beatific...

Not surprising, they both came from the same "Imagine a world"-based medicine approach to making stuff up and hoping that it holds up. Meaning that they work "just as well" as something that doesn't work. Meaning they don't work, and biased reports suggesting such as just the same new...

They don't want reliable data. They want their beliefs confirmed. The whole thing is ridiculous and implausible, and the hype makes it even worse, it massively exaggerates something clearly fake with all the traditional red flags of pseudoscience.
