    Lightning Process study in Norway - Given Ethics Approval February 2022

    I ask myself that question routinely and there is frankly no good reason other than people not wanting any bad news about what they are doing, basically doing the equivalent of creative (aka criminal) accounting of just counting income and ignoring expenses. Which is actually a Simpsons gag...

    Lightning Process study in Norway - Given Ethics Approval February 2022

    Flottorp is completely incoherent. Almost reads like drunken ramblings. This wouldn't even be an acceptable quality standard to run an ice cream shop. These people are complete amateurs, I have no idea how this is considered serious and credible.

    Evaluation of Fatigue in Cancer Patients in An Area Affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, 2020, Sato

    "What if we actually compared apples and oranges?" said very weird people. Really starting to think that the main reason medical research is so expensive is because so much of it serves absolutely no purpose and has no chance whatsoever of providing anything of value, that there is a tendency...

    Covid-19 - Psychological research and treatment

    I'm having a hard time deciding whether this is a low-effort content mill or a serious article. Covid-19 Fatigue Syndrome: Finding the Unknown and Unknowable https://pro.psychcentral.com/covid-19-fatigue-syndrome-finding-the-unknown-and-unknowable/ Serious or satire? I really can't tell.

    In progress: A systematic review & meta analysis of the incidence of, and risk markers for, [CFS] and [ME] in population studies, 2020, White

    Oof. This is especially bad. Some of the graphics make me think of conspiracy theorists putting random labels and arrows on various concepts and pretending it means something. Seriously you have to look at it to appreciate it in full. It mostly boils down to cheap philosophy over the duality of...

    Cognitive behavioural therapy for adults with dissociative seizures (CODES): a ... multicentre, randomised controlled trial (2020) Goldstein, Chalder

    This is a terrible response from the Lancet. The op-ed is in June's edition, they were not overburdened until then and I see no reason why psychiatry should be so overwhelmed by an infectious disease pandemic. It's insulting in its weakness. This is not how scientific debate works. Stifling...

    Dialogues for a neglected illness - videos on experiences of people with ME (funded by Wellcome Foundation)

    Excellent. Again. The whole series is just excellent. It's nice to see faces to familiar names. The absurdity of this being known and documented and happening alongside the descent into madness in Norway and Denmark is frankly incredible. I've only had a few short episodes of severe symptoms...

    Pretty much :) Although I think of it more as "energy efficient". I have to say it comes in handy when having to deal with the ME monster, I was energy efficient before I had to be.

    Lightning Process study in Norway - Given Ethics Approval February 2022

    This all really sounds like things they easily should have planned for. If the plan is "paint myself in the corner" you can't really use the fact that you are stuck in a corner as an excuse for being stuck there. This is typical for BPS but totally inexcusable of journals and various oversight...

    Lightning Process study in Norway - Given Ethics Approval February 2022

    It's only one person's perspective but I am generally speaking a stoic, stress response is not really part of my behavior. I have kept perfectly normal conversations going while smashing the brakes to avoid a close automobile collision. Twice. It's not a skill or anything, I am just generally...
