Yet another great article from ABC Nyheter about the report. This is their third article. This time they have interviewed Mette Schøyen who is ME patient herself and has two children with ME. One of her daughters was among the most severe ME patients in Norway for several years. ABC Nyheter: Ny...

David Tuller got access to some, and wrote about it. https://www.s4me.info/threads/david-tuller-trial-by-error-cochranes-report-on-courtneys-complaint.8555/ I asked for, and received, the rest. But the PDF document I got is too big to upload here. I'm happy to send the document as email to...

Oh, thank you SO much @mango That was a great help!!

The Norwegian ME Association has published a report about severe ME based on a survey among 586 ME-patients and 198 carers. The report has been presented to the Norwegian Directorate of Health today. Når nøden er størst er hjelpen nærmest borte Not able to give a summary in English at the...

Yes there is a sceptic community, and ME patients have tried to alert them numerous times, but they don't seem interested. I believe it's unfathomable for them that the leader for the National Competence Service of ME/CFS, researchers as Wyller et al, politicians, institutions as The Norwegian...

I think you are adding a lot of useful background information for the forum. Thank you. Maybe the fact that the science director at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health has co authored this article in The Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association with (amongst other) a Lightning Process...

Michael Musker and colleague Tiffany Gill have written an article about their research for The Conversation Explainer: what is fibromyalgia, the condition Lady Gaga lives with? It is about fibromyalgia, but the article ends with: Many of the symptoms of fibromyalgia can be found in people who...

Spotted this wiki-article about the journal in another debate about this paper. Medical Hypotheses is a non-peer reviewed medical journal published by Elsevier. It was originally intended as a forum for unconventional ideas without the traditional filter of scientific peer review, "as long as...

News article about a woman who just got compensation for developing ME after a shot with the flu vaccine Pandemrix. ABC Nyheter: Kvinne fikk ME etter Pandemrix-vaksine - saksøkte staten og vant google translation: Woman got ME after Pandemrix vaccine - sued the state and won Trude Schei from...

The article has now been edited and the "nonsense"-comment from Flottorp has been removed.

From the article mentioned above: - The study author says that this shows that ME is not a mental illness, but that there is a default in the patient's energy metabolism in the body? - This is of course just nonsense. It is too easy to conclude that way. ME patients are deconditioned and of...

Yes, I was thinking the same. She's head of department of systematic reviews at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, so I believe this makes her the boss to Lillebeth Larun, main author of the Cochrane review on ME and GET.

The newspaper Dagbladet has written an article about the study. It's paywalled, so here's a summary: First there's a short introduction of the study Then follows some comments from researchers known for they biopsychosocial approach to ME. First out is professor Signe Flottorp. Then Wyller...
