This is an important point that needs to be debated. I've heard that conditions like IH, CCI or even unidentified bone-infection can mimic ME/CFS....
This is the problem with "Long COVID". You can cure your post-COVID anosmia with garlic or something and say that you cured your own Long COVID.
I'm not familiar with Penrose, but he would be wrong if he meant that the incompleteness theorem can be defeated by biological brains. Only way to...
I don't know if the current crop of LLMs can or can't since I don't follow them too closely, but logic is mathematics and therefore is one of the...
If you think about it, that's how human brains evolved too, out of needs to guess where the food might be and where the predators are, and then do...
Sentience doesn't matter though. Brain evolved to feel to make you do something in response, so that you can survive and proliferate. AI obviously...
I once compared ME/CFS to Corvair: unsafe at any speed.
Dang, sorry to hear that. I'm just glad I don't deal with medical professionals for ME/CFS.
Not too many, other than BPS perhaps, would still argue that GET is helpful these days. I know that it didn't work for me because I tried it, far...
That could well be. Even logging daily activities, which has a huge benefit/cost ratio for me, can be very costly for some patients. Measuring...
Yeah, nobody knows if those with "success stories" recovered by chance alone or by what they did. I think the take-away from "hopeful acceptance"...
Totally. "Hopeful acceptance" that some patients have been talking about could be a good compromise.
I agree, nobody needs false hope. At the same time though, I don't think the rescue chopper is coming for us any time soon; it could well be the...
There is nothing wrong with not losing hope. Medicine's impotence doesn't necessarily have to translate to despair though. My analogy has been...
My doctor told me that there was nothing he could do for me as soon as I mentioned PEM. I appreciated his candor. That was almost 20 years ago...
A reliable and objective way to measure fatigue will go a long, long way in studying and managing ME/CFS. It's been my next project for a long...
But people do understand and relate to sick fatigue and exhaustion that comes with, say, flu or COVID, don't they? They also understand how...
Depending on what you mean by "know". I'm fond of saying that reality is my religion and science is my doctrine. But I can't prove that the...
This hasn't been established, I don't think. The Columbia study back in 2015(?), the most authoritative one I'm aware of, concluded that the...
OK, maybe we've been talking over each other's head then. I thought you meant sensory input. We are in agreement!
