Thank you!

That's me. I'm delighted it's already over £1000 in less than 24 hours.

When you say flat, do you mean completely flat, head not propped up at all?

I will bet £10 that these "early" results will also be described as "promising".

Yes, absolutely - especially as these particular nerves aren't only involved in pain sensation (which these researchers are focusing on) but also, if I understand rightly, in regulating heart rate and blood pressure, respiration, digestion, and more.

I was getting interested in this until I read "In some cases, the relief lasted up to 48 hours." Oh well. Still:

I had this microneurography testing at KCH recently and the results are similar to what they found in this study ("ongoing spontaneous activity" and "extreme slowing of conduction velocities"). Without going into detail, partly for confidentiality and partly because I can't remember all the...

"We don't know if anything happened, but it was definitely very important."

What are they?

I noticed this blog post responding to Frith and had to smile at the following: There might be one other...

Yes, I'll need a bit of time to put it into words but I'll come back to this. The simplest way I can put it is that as a healthy autistic person I was energised by the things I enjoyed doing, physically or mentally, whereas with this illness any expenditure of energy knocks me out, whether it's...

Frith says "I think it’s useful to make clear distinctions between the different types of children who have been diagnosed as autistic", but when I think of the autistic children I know in real life, many of them don't fit into any of her 'clear' categories. There are those who are...

I wouldn't take anything from NY Post at face value.

Useful that they had pre-2020 data on subjects so they could compare pre and post illness cognitive performance. Also that they seem to have made a real effort to check covid-negative status for controls. For anyone else looking for the raw numbers: 260 patients, median age of 70, of whom 113...

I wish something like this could be done with much bigger groups.

https://www.s4me.info/tags/metformin/ Probably some food for thought here, though of course no definite answers!

It's also studying nurses early in the pandemic, who as a group were under unusual stress and exposed to unusual health risks, so not really generalisable to broader populations.

Also I can kind of see why doctors might think they're seeing 'anxiety' when a patient is breathing erratically or seems to be distracted or finding it hard to organise their words, when actually it's physical distress and/or cognitive impairment. Or they think they're seeing 'depression' when...

Nice - hope you'll stay around!

I'm not, but thanks! Basically it's about how much record-keeping is involved. I won't be doing it myself but I need to brief the person who probably will.
