Sweeping generalisation there from SW’s wife which serves the agenda of pushing everyone back into harrowing commutes and cubicles.

That was my first thought. Whole new cohort of ppl to terrorise with GET.

It’s really scary and demoralising seeing GET vultures getting their claws into another patient group. No amount of debunking of bad research seems to stop the BPS juggernaut. They just use a different name for the same illness and continue as if nothing has happened.

Already out of date before it’s even launched. That strain of Omicron is superseded by others.

The most gullible? And even in those, the intervention didn’t work. I don’t understand how these people keep getting funded for this sort of work.

Another worthless trash study aiming to rediagnose patients with MUS and treat them with CBT which has already been shown not to work.

Yes. I’ve never seen an ‘expiration date’ set like this.

How convenient.

Agreed. It’s also telling that they deliberately chose not to do what most trials these days do which is to obtain written consent for data sharing. Not that it’s even necessary to reanalyse the original dataset in this case. Unlike in PACE where the data analyses were fraudulent, here it’s...

I just noticed this: “Bona-fide researchers” meaning all data requests from filthy plebs (ie patients) will be denied.

The paper claims that symptoms caused by surgery are psychiatric.

This idea was quite popular in the 1980s/1990s in the UK. There were some studies showing hyperventilation on exercise challenge or tilt table but ultimately it did not pan out and even BPSers don’t really talk about it these days.

This paper is pretty obscene to be honest. First you suffer medical malpractice, then you get told it’s all in your mind.

Sounds like incompetent anaesthesiologists trying to chalk up serious adverse events to FND.

What fresh hell is this?

It's unethical to continue to sell this test to patients considering the findings of the more recent study:

Usually these sorts of studies are done by young healthy trainees in psychology. My fibromyalgia pain is worse than what I experienced after surgeries. I don’t see how exercise is possible in this scenario, let alone desirable.

That’s hilarious.

“Young and female? It’s FND. I don’t accept this referral.”
