This study was discussed years ago on the previous forum. My recollection is that none of Behan's stuff could be replicated elsewhere.

Literally everyone on the planet has experienced one or more of these adverse events.

I know I shouldn't be laughing because this is deadly serious for people who are told they have FND but this is actually insane and reads like a parody of some medieval text where everything is attributed to ghosts and demons.

No surprise there. Previous research has shown that females having a heart attack are more likely than males to be diagnosed with anxiety by emergency room. The same beliefs extend to the general public as we see here.

Cohen's d of 0.23 is a small effect size, easily caused by functional unblinding because LDN causes obvious/known side effects. It's almost certain to fall below MCID perceptible by the patient or the clinician.

Komaroff's comments read like a parody. Personal clinical experience with ONE patient vs. n=100 double-blind placebo controlled trial.

LOCOMOTION :rofl:

The rebranding of hysteria to FND has been a huge success for the neurobabblers. Many patients are initially hoodwinked by the respectable sounding name. Eventually though when they get denied any further investigations or access to healthcare, they’ll learn what FND means on the streets.

I think she means us paying attention to our symptoms. They believe that causes us to blow them out of proportion and become disabled.

They won't. People who can pay will pay, the rest will be left to suffer and die.

Norwegian rituximab trial failing doesn’t rule out an autoimmune process. In this meta-analysis of 4 trials of rituximab for Sjogren’s, rituximab didn’t do anything for the core symptoms including fatigue: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1297319X17301318

Not gonna lie, this brought a tear to my eye.

Good to see this confirmation that low dose naltrexone doesn’t do anything.

Very happy with my air fryer. Mine can go in the dishwasher. You do have to turn/shake things though. You can’t just put it on and walk away or the results end up uneven. The big lifesaver for me has been my instant pot however. With this you can truly toss everything in and walk away. It saved...

I can get muscle pain from intense mental exertion.

Spare a thought for the poor doctor who is Perplexed. Gotta find a scapegoat (mother).

How do they know it’s complex? It could be very simple. No one knows anything about long covid, this blanket pronouncement is inappropriate.

I don't see how private insurance will be possible in the future given advances in genetics. Everyone is at risk of something.

My worry levels go through the roof when I see the words King's College London.

Nature Communications is where various Nature journals send castoffs they won't publish, in exchange for cash. A fitting end to this NIH farce.
