    Impact of symptom focusing and somatosensory amplification on persistent physical symptoms: A three-year follow-up study, 2020, Barends et al

    Yes an absolute mess. What sprung to my mind was an occasion when I was focussed on pushing through the flu type symptoms I’d got up and washed dressed set off driving to work and after 1/2 a mile a lightbulb went on that I really wasn’t well enough to be behind the wheel and therefore should...

    Impact of symptom focusing and somatosensory amplification on persistent physical symptoms: A three-year follow-up study, 2020, Barends et al

    I’m sticking with the scarves I already possess lots of for now as I’ve only been out 3 times in the last month. I have spotted lots of crafty folk on Etsy seem to be turning their hand to home made mask production and sales. If it becomes the norm I’ll probably ask one of my relatives who has...
