I sent a quick email asking for a podcast interview about medical errors and their ethical responsibility. I cited their ME/CFS entry as a discussion starting point. I'm not holding my breath waiting for a response.

Excellent, I hope your improvements continue. Fwiw, I tapered off LDN last fall because I wasn't sure if it was doing any thing. It was. My sleep worsened, and waking up nauseous was more intense. So I eased back onto LDN (4.5ml) , sleeping better (still not great) and less waking intense...

Personally, I've not noticed any pattern between stress and symptoms.

Scottish Woman, 71, Doesn't Experience Pain or Anxiety Because of Rare Genetic Mutation After getting her hip replaced, doctors told Cameron she would need to undergo painful hand surgery, and were shocked when she said she wouldn’t be in need of any painkillers, as she’d never needed to take...

I hope somebody can go to this to witness and record / take pics to put on social media so we can expose the errors and harm.

Just as police physical assaults on the public plummeted after police officers started wearing body cams, I would suspect the verbal assaults of physicians on patients would also plummet if they knew they were being recorded.

I caught Ron Davis's presentation. The one thing I jotted down was: - 1/3 to 1/4 of ME patients in their study had high mercury / low selenium (and that leads to low T3) and he suggested that if one is low in selenium that supplementing may help, but to be aware that too much selenium is bad...

Kimberley Goldsmith to the rescue...

Fear mongering is effective.

The best Freudian slip of the day.

Nailed it.

This is 'institutionally embedded medical error' and I'd bet dollars to donuts it is implicated in a significant portion of medical harm and death. Aside - I had a chat this week with a 'patient safety institute' that seemed solely focused on patient safety in hospitals and pharmacies. When I...

Just saw this research recruitment today re POTS and a 'neck pressure collar'...
