    Personality and Perfectionism in CFS, 2008, Chalder & Deary

    I'm pretty sure that the subtext of searching for "perfectionism" in ME/CFS is really based on the idea that patients are regarding minor limitations in their physical function as "imperfections" that are dwelt on too much - thus preventing the patient from "adapting" to them, rehabilitating...

    Collapsed and distended veins

    I'm pretty sure that this report is from 2015. Although it is only dated "Tue, Feb 10", 2/10/18 was a Saturday, but 2/10/2015 was a Tuesday - and was the day the IOM report was released. The report also talks as though the IOM report has just been released. Still, an interesting look back. I...

    Medscape: Commentary - Psychotherapy Is 'The' Biological Treatment

    I can't decide if it's more like "Altered States" (1980), where other modes of consciousness actually can rearrange your molecules... ...or maybe it's more like a World of Pure Imagination. But I always defer to a Higher Authority....

    Tinnitus poll: Do you experience it?

    I tend to get tinnitus about twice a year, in late spring and early fall. It usually only lasts a week or two. Sometimes, it lasts somewhat longer. Because of the pattern, I think it must be related to allergies. It "sounds" like a very high pitched sine wave (~7 kHz). It's usually only in one...
