yes and the stock options were not mentioned in the IBS study. Just the payment.

I wasn't sure if it was deliberately misleading or just written badly by an intern. And then not carefully vetted.

Hey thanks for posting this. I will look at that next. sounds like might be interesting bad claims being made

Yes, it's always good to read the fine print!

That should have been "months." It has been corrected! They wear off, but not quite that quickly.

What's this about?

yes the boom and bust stuff. where do they get that from related to IBS? I mean, I'd never heard of that at all in this context.

Yes I was going to comment a bit on the "vicious cycle" they have for IBS as well as "CFS."

Is this the case? Where is that data about that particular clinic? How much has Gladwell worked with Professor Crawley--anyone know?

Does pacing for people involve filling out all these activity diaries and so much planning in advance? That seems like a lot of cognitive work.

Here's page 3 of the CBT Patient manual introduction to the online program: "There are a number of clinical trials showing that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people with IBS manage their lifestyles and symptoms better, leads to a significant reduction in IBS symptoms and the...

Thanks so much!

I've actually just seen this, in relation to what's on the other thread about the person reviewing Action For ME's pacing manual is a co-author of this "double-blinded" study.

Thanks for that and for all your work on this--it's pretty amazing. So a "secondary parenting" means placing an illness under another rubric as well as its primary one--ie under neurology as well as mental disorders chapter? So the idea is WHO rejected the use of "functional" because they...

What did Lady Gaga say recently?

must be a shock for the patient groups to see that they have conversion disorder after all.

This is the first sentence from the opening editorial of the special issue, which is not behind a paywall: https://neuro.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.neuropsych.19090204 "Functional neurological disorder (FND), also known as conversion disorder, constitutes individuals with...

well, I don't think we really know why they work. I doubt it's as simple as that they're "chemical crutches." I got on anti-depressants when I was 25, before the SSRIs came out. They tried me on about eight or nine before finding one that alleviated some of the suffering. If I only needed a...
