I think some of them are available here under Trial Information https://www.qmul.ac.uk/wiph/centres/centre-for-psychiatry-and-mental-health/research/pace-trial/

Wessely makes a couple of references to evidence for this in his article "Old wine in new bottles" but I don't know what his references say, one of them is M Ramsay, not sure if this is the same Ramsay as is often discussed regarding ME.

This is what it says on the ME Association webpage: https://meassociation.org.uk/medical-matters/items/dental-white-amalgam-fillings-me-cfs/

In the second paragraph they probably mean Leonard Jason rather than Jason Leonard?

There might be some useful ideas in this file also.

There is a novel Falling through the World by Rachel Clarke published in 2012, I can't remember what I thought of it but it has positive reviews on Amazon.

The error is only in the abstract , the paper itself seems correct?

I think either a copy of the new UK NICE guidelines or even just a reference to an online link for them would be good.

Merged thread Could mitochondrial diseases cause delayed PEM? Hi, Sorry I don't know which area of the forum I should post this question in, but I just wanted to ask given the possibility that mitochondrial diseases could be misdiagnosed as ME if anybody knows whether the crashes in...

I agree about therapists sometimes providing unhelpful ideas but there really isn't any such thing as an accountant handing back or losing their qualifications.

I can't work out how to link it here but in the full text of the article a bit under the subheading "Therapists, techniques and principles in the mental training programme" there is a link to the supplementary material.

According to Wikipedia Afrin suggests that MCAS could cause spontaneous human combustion, presumably there is no such thing and that cannot be a valid theory? I recall reading a very long article by him years ago on MCAS dymptoms and thinking it sounded like me until I got to the end and he...

This is a link to an article discussing a potential overlap between CRPS and FND, I don't know enough about either to judge whether the article is accurate or not but it might be helpful. Complex regional pain syndrome and functional neurological disorders – time for reconciliation...

I haven't been able to watch it apart from the beginning, but I don't think @Brian Hughes is correct to say PACE was based on a psychiatric model, there wasn't a single model but 4 different models being tested, fear avoidance and deconditioning were two separate models as was adaptive pacing...

Here is an article on the same topic, but with a non-dualistic approach - "The neurology of the Cuban "sonic attacks" https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laneur/article/PIIS1474-4422(19)30246-7/fulltext#
