Oops, forgot the link! Thanks Sean.
Great article by a Long Covid sufferer discussing Long Covid, ME/CFS and POTS on the Australian ABC news site.
Wouldn't that actually be average is 31 and standard deviation is 12? It would be rare in a distribution for the difference between minimum and...
I guess the success of BPS for back pain provides a lot of the motivation for the belief that it should also work for fatigue. Is the research...
Can these micro clots effect the erythrocyte sedimentation rate? There has been speculation in the past that ME is associated with low values....
How much of the difference is accounted for by NICE downgrading studies that did not require PEM. I presume cochrane did not do this. If they did,...

From the abstract I assume this is just correlation with no demonstration of causality. I imagine being more unwell makes one more likely to claim...
I haven't read anything about the study but I'm guessing they want to know how often the tests agree, whether that's positive or negative. As...
When I see two numbers with overlapping error ranges like that I assume they are not statistically significantly different. I don't understand...
What a funny coincidence. I just googled "Brandolini's law gish gallop" since I had been thinking about how both concepts seem very relevant to...
