[And seems to cause psych majors to leave uncorrected typos in four-year-old articles.]
I imagine it's especially unlikely since neither "Dysania" nor "Clinomania" are listed in either the DSM or the ICD.
On the other hand, neither is "Drapetomania" - the 19th century "mental illness" that...
I may be repeating something already noted elsewhere, but why would you "temporarily withdraw" something in order to allow the authors time to "adequately address the feedback received?" Why not say, "You've got X days to answer our questions or we're withdrawing your review"? It reads to me...
So, I've been a bit confused about this... What is the distinction between donating to The Open Medicine Foundation and donating directly to The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Research Center (CFSRC) at Stanford?
I can't imagine why people who have voiced such certainty about their own political beliefs would be so keen to back the idea that psychiatry can determine "correct beliefs" from "false beliefs." I mean, it's like something you used to hear was going on in the old Soviet Union.
Oh, wait...
"Where does a wise man hide a leaf? In the forest. But what does he do if there is no forest? He grows a forest to hide it in." - GK Chesterton
Of course, it doesn't always work. :)
Speculation:
Just out of curiosity, I wondered if sleep deprivation might increase tryptophan. I guess I was thinking that the body might try to force sleep by producing more (if it can produce more). Or perhaps tryptophan is "consumed" during sleep - so its level would rise if you didn't...
"The best thing I’ve done from a sociological and community standpoint was to embrace the activists. Instead of rejecting them, I listened to them. I remember looking out a window and people on the lawn of the NIH were throwing smoke bombs. The Montgomery County Police were ready to arrest them...
I would hate to speculate about such a conversation, but...
"Hey, the University just got a $9.6 million grant from the NIH to search for the biological causes of ME/CFS. Thanks for inviting speakers here who probably think we should give it back. That's great publicity for us."
Seems like an effect like the "tilted hallway" I posted above might be caused by a problem with the 4th cranial nerve, aka the "Trochlear Nerve."
Unlike the other eleven, multi-functional cranial nerves, the only thing the 4th cranial nerve controls is the muscle that rotates the eye around...
I assume by "with a history of trauma" they mean something along the lines of a physical injury, like a blow to the head or some other kinetic force on the body. I really don't recall experiencing anything like that in the months prior to onset - and it's the kind of thing that I, or my...
So, do they actually destroy the gut's microbiome prior to FMT, or do they just empty the gut? This is kind of glossed over in what I've read and I'm not certain that they are the same thing.
FMT can frequently cure C. difficile infection, but C. diff is not normally present in the gut...
Well, my first ME symptom was an acute attack of "vertigo," and balance problems continued to be a major symptom for years afterward. Still, it's going to take a whole lot of convincing for me to accept that all the subsequent symptoms were just downstream effects from a problem of the...
Can you imagine telling AIDS patients, in the era before effective treatments were available, that their activism was an indicator that they were not all that sick?
[It wouldn't shock me if that happened, though.]
They divided the number of messages posted on a selection of Norwegian health forums in one week by the number of thousands of people in Norway who have the condition. This seems to be how they are arriving at ME having "more than ten times the relative activity of any other disorder or...
