I wonder if that's a genuinely mislead user or a Lightning Process shill.
On the plus side @21:00 she says about ME "A condition that's defined by exercise intolerance".
Could someone please explain to me what confidence intervals and p values are?
They've had years to prepare a response to this kind of crap, the militant anti-science patient trope has been around for a while now.
I find this description to be very disingenuous, given that for all intents and purposes he treats it as a mental illness. Here the author tries...
The ACR dropped the tender points in their revised 2010 criteria for fibromyalgia.
@2:28:20 - He says people don't die of ME, she replies suicide rates are higher in ME patients. Does anyone have any official statistics on this?
