Replication - hence importance of Chris Ponting' s research. Outcomes during/ from this study may also drive replication necessity for other aspects. It may help give a direction for future research areas - important when proposals are invited for funding.

It is dominated by fatigue in definitions and lists of symptoms and does noone any favours. This is what has muddied the waters for so long

I wonder if he is aware that EC' s LP paper is under consideration by NICE ..

Can someone tweet link to Coyne?

We have seen how this personality type plays out before ...

Yes, that was my query too. I don' t know if this person accessed after some improvement ( and assigned further improvement as due to LP) A lot of reports are contrary to the experience of ME, though there are others which are not simply explained .

My stepsister has 2 friends, both of whom were bedbound ( one for over two years), who both claim to be cured by LP. Whether the ME diagnosis was correct is one aspect, but both back to working ( one part time ) . It does seem a bit of a conundrum.

Just as NICE are looking at guidelines. ECs paper and this ... timing is everything.

text - with my bold Ministers said in 2017 that: All documents up to 1995 are available through the National Archive. However, following an exercise conducted by Factor 8 and hundreds of Freedom of Information requests, it was found that this, in fact, was not true. We had attempted to take...

Yes, that's what piqued my interest a bit more

https://phoenixrising.me/archives/5806 I came across this post as it had been " bumped" up. Does anyone know if there has been any further development of this theory?

As FITNET is a follow up of a Dutch study ( taken apart by @Docsimsim & Vink ) , I suspect that where the BPS model is alive and well, that you will find paediatric research.

I don' t know how genuine volunteers are. From the other place there were posts indicating that parents were being " hassled" to join the trial. Phonecalls every 30 mins. With ever present PRS diagnosis should your child slip backwards it' s Hobson's choice. Somehow this Kafkaesque nightmare...

Sadly from a parents' forum tonight i learned of an ill child ( has been assessed by a charity at parents' s request and advised as very ill - i am assuming moderate slipping towards severe) who at the fatigue clinic appointment was pronounced to be getting better and so should be commencing...

Thanks for making this understandable
