This conclusion would seem to be contradicted by a more recent study Ryan referenced above which suggested that orthostatic hyperventilation comes...
That's disturbing. I know someone who got told orthostatic symptoms were due to 'fear of standing'.
I'm aware, I wasn't suggesting hyperventilation. Still, it's a significant finding which should be investigated IMO. Why is it happening only upright?
Yes, tests that estimate premorbid IQ have a low ceiling. Insurance companies have a vested interested in denying claims of cognitive impairment....

You're not matching them for variance, you're matching them for mean premorbid intelligence. Yup, this is a big problem. We know that ME is the...

The social support has just been tremendous and the financial rewards a real windfall.
Sounds legit. 100% true fact.
I wonder how the subconscious brain chooses which symptom to fake. Why do some get non-epileptic seizures, others tremor, yet others functional...
There is no alternative diagnosis that better fits. But the problem with the FND term is that it carries a connotation of psychogenic causation...
The FND diagnosis is a medical-sounding term designed to hoodwink patients into accepting it more easily than the previous diagnoses for the same...
Pretty good coverage. Not as ignorant or stereotype-laden as usual.
I see "chronic mono" mentioned on social media. $100 says he has ME/CFS but was given these diagnoses by an alternative health practitioner.
It's such a vicious cycle of abuse and marginalisation. Illness gets no funding --->> LOL your illness has no identifiable physical cause ---->>...
