What precisely makes you think it is implausible? (BTW, on the basis of having talked to lots of people with the illness, many doctors think the exact contrary)

Another one! Thanks @B_V Justice, finally, for stricken Washington Post reporter https://www.poynter.org/news/justice-finally-stricken-washington-post-reporter

I don't understand your reasonning here. Whatever the problem (signaling or not) the CPET tests suggest that there is a problem that is not malingering, nor deconditioning, but has a biological reality. I understand that you're challenging results to be sure they're reliable, but I think...

That's weird, and I don't know if this means anything at all, but in France, there's a similar trend with autism (disclaimer: I'm not leaning to the right). Libération (a newspaper comparable to The Guardian), and L'Humanité (linked with the communist party) have been (and still are at some...

Or if they do not miraculously recover after Crawley's incredible treatment.

While there are no firm evidences for a mechanism, there have been many studies that tend to show that there is something abnormal happening (I'm thinking about metabolomics or exercise studies...). We don't know yet the importance of these abnormalities, the role they play, if they discriminate...

It reminds me of Trudie Chalder totaly contradicting herself on 2 points in a Guardian article: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/jan/14/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-patients-fear-exercise-hinder-treatment-study-me So - a phobia in which you have to prevent patients from doing the dreaded...

There's still symptoms relief (pain an sleep mainly).

Oh my, she's not even pretending to be impartial. In line with her previous gross anti-patient stance here: https://www.s4me.info/threads/clare-gerada-patients-need-to-be-more-accountable-for-their-health-suggests-gp-mental-health-lead.1489/#post-26213

I don't think the PACE trial failure in itself disproves the theory of a psychological cause for ME. There are other theories not tested in the PACE trial. This failure doesn't even disprove the false illness belief hypothesis (but it certainly casts a serious doubt on its validity). It just...

Sorry, long (and a bit personal) post. In the early days, when I was still in limbo (am I out now? Wondering), I was told by my GP that my neurological symptoms were functional, which was not really a firm diagnosis but a track which I followed up to Stone and al. (nearly nothing on the subject...

I just came across a few videos on twitter, and they made me feel really uneasy. First, it is difficult to understand. Then, the "pray/please" gesture for me is more a begging sign. I don't like it at all, I'm not begging for help, I'm asking governments to do their duty into financing a major...

Not a joke... :( What a bitter hijack... Direct link: https://www.nihr.ac.uk/blogs/worries-that-keep-you-awake-at-night/8466 Just a little extract to let you have a taste of her revolting prose (this woman really has no decency): Leaving the field would be your best contribution, Esther...

I haven't read it all yet, but very interesting so far. THAT is the kind of psychosocial research we need!
