Other ticks can give you alpha gal allergies as well. I wonder if we'll see an increase in Norway too. Some apparently "grow out of" their allergies, while for others it can become more sensitive. Since the reactions typically occur hours after intake of red meat, it can be easy to miss the...

Even for well rested mild patients, unless assessed at home travel + waiting times would also have to be taken into account. Making it even more of a problem.

I also wish someone would have to demonstrate deconditioning plays a part at all. Sure deconditioning is what makes me unable to walk two minutes to the grocery store when I earlier in the week could bike uphill 30 mins to the university.. :facepalm: Ugh. I still remember the switch like...

So maybe the short physical performance battery (below)? When not crashing, I think I would do within normal on the Short Physical Performance Battery of tests, but if I have overexerted I'd likely not be able to complete it. And for most healthcare professionals I've met it seems they are...

From the discussion: Participants were not asked if they experienced enacted stigma, so the anticipation of experiencing stigma may well have been due to already experienced events/knowledge of ongoing stigma :banghead: Also in the results they state that "... participants who anticipated...

Objectives: We examined the process by which anticipated stigma relates to quality of life among people living with chronic illnesses. We hypothesized that stress, social support and patient satisfaction mediate the relationships between three sources of anticipated stigma and quality of life...

With all the talk about cross-sectional learning etc, can't these people learn that nudging people to be more healthy through campaigns and similar in general has not be shown to work? How many eat "five a day"?

Being reminded of when I talked to a doctor in training and we came onto the topic of Lightning Process/Recovery Norway, and he said no doctors would believe such gibberish.

In Norway it is common to have both bachelor and master level theses published at the university's own pages. Funny that acute undernutrition and acute chronic fatigue has the same timeframe of three months. Though with undernutrition there seems to be a move away from this since the word...

He also gives clinical students at the university his hospital works with a nice intro to ME/CFS :thumbup:

Not to go off topic, but the epidemic of avoidable ill health is not just a personal issue of people choosing to eat the wrong diet or not exercising. This approach of motivational interviews are for example used in Norwegian "Frisklivssentraler" ("healthy life centers" where they have courses...

Forskning.no wrote about this study today, but unfortunately only mentions the lack of a control group/short timeframe as problems (rest is all very positive). They are going to do another study with one year follow up (not clear to me if it's a new cohort or a longer follow up of the patients...

In Norway there are people arguing for us to have a "grief" diagnosis, as currently if people experience disabling grief that makes them unable to work they have to be given a diagnosis of depression or anxiety or something similar to get sick leave. This then makes many unable to get insurance...

So happy for her to be able to be a bit up and about! Not to go on about the nutrition situation for patients in (rural) Norway, but I'm glad they mentioned the malnourishment/undernutrition part. I hope she was on the way to becoming well-nourished when she came to Røysumtunet, not still...

I don't like how they write it should not be a manipulative relationship, because as a clinician the goal is after all to coax the patient into the "correct" behavior. To me this feels manipulative, even if one is supposed to listen, find obtainable goals together with the patient that the...

I think you'll find "effective and empathetic" are the words used to describe it.

Posts moved from Anomalies in the review process and interpretation of the evidence in the NICE guideline for (CFS & ME), 2023, White et al On the negotiating bit. With lifestyle changes, as I think "getting patient to exercise more" can be described as, there is a method that is encouraged to...

That horse has already bolted and left the stable far, far behind.

One Norwegian comedian that have "only been asking questions" about why pwME are against the recommendations for CBT/GET use his experience with lower back pain and being told it was perpetuated by his thoughts as a starting point: Quote from a TV programs transcribed by @Kalliope in this post...

Loved the letter. Thanks to everyone who worked on it :thumbup:
