    A general thread on the PACE trial!

    Yes, I've never understood this blatant contradiction: patients are told that focusing on symptoms is a factor in perpetuating them.

    Persistent fatigue induced by interferon-alpha: A novel, inflammation-based, proxy model of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 2018, Pariante et al

    I would have bet that a few months ago, but given how discredited the PACE trial is, I'm not sure it is tenable, and even they are starting to realise it. But at the same time, they've shot themselves in the foot so often, so they may try...
