    Prevalence and Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME and Co-morbid Severe Health Anxiety, 2019, Daniels et al

    Sigh... It's always the same. As long as they haven't proven any causal link between these thoughts and the symptoms, this will be pointless. How does this past the test of peer review? This is more telling aout the current state of "scientific" psychology than anything.

    Mention of ME in "Fear of Progress" article on CleanTechnica site

    Phew... Reading the title, I thought that was going to be yet another article accusing us of being science deniers!

    A proposal for ME Action: a commitment to evidence-based medicine

    They're part of it in the sense that they tell us, that, maybe, there might be something of interest here. That's all. And all this should be verified with scientific tools. I've seen hundreds of these theories proposed for ME, based on observation, speculation and self experiment, some...

    The science of craniocervical instability and other spinal issues and their possible connection with ME/CFS - discussion thread

    Yes, some claim they are better when they are not really, but some claim to have been cured months later. So the analogy stands.

    The science of craniocervical instability and other spinal issues and their possible connection with ME/CFS - discussion thread

    No but it can wrongly convince a patient that they have CCI, based on nothing of value, and this patient will present this weak evidence to their doctor, and that will not be helpful at all, quite the contrary, it may make them appear irrational and turn their doctor against them. And I see...

    The science of craniocervical instability and other spinal issues and their possible connection with ME/CFS - discussion thread

    Yes, there is a strong problem here that has never been addressed. CCI/AAI is an official diagnosis, recognised by mainstream medicine. Why do people have to fly to Spain to get treatment?

    A logistic regression analysis of risk factors in ME/CFS pathogenesis. Lacerda et al. 2019

    I've spent my life getting cold after cold since the age of 7/8. During winter, the years prior to te onset, it was often a kind of long, uninterrupted cold.

    University of Liverpool survey: 'Emotional Distress in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome', 2019

    Great letter. If I may, I would just change that: I think your letter would be stronger if you remain more neutral.

    The science of craniocervical instability and other spinal issues and their possible connection with ME/CFS - discussion thread

    So does that prevent to warn that surgery for CFS is not evidence based? Edit: change for clarity

    The science of craniocervical instability and other spinal issues and their possible connection with ME/CFS - discussion thread

    With all due respect, this doesn't make sense at all. Rituximab & surgery are not easily accessible treatments. They are both potentialy dangerous and none of them should be advertised as long as they have not been tested properly.

    The science of craniocervical instability and other spinal issues and their possible connection with ME/CFS - discussion thread

    Is there a warning that this treatment has not been tested correctly and patients should wait for more information? No. So it's openly promoting it and it's a shame.

    The science of craniocervical instability and other spinal issues and their possible connection with ME/CFS - discussion thread

    I don't see how lumping all these problems together can bring anything good. This is nonsense. How can Chiari be linked with Lyme, seriously? We need to subgroup, not regroup. Gathering unrelated disorders can only lead to crap (be it MUS psycho nonsense, or Brea's wild unproven claims).
