Thanks for highlighting that, it's helped clarify the meaning a bit more! It is, and if she hadn't looked at it she wouldn't have found more...
Exactly that. We need them to argue at minimum for a pilot project in a couple of big teaching centres.
The thing about common antigen exposure's intriguing, isn't it, specially when the chances are that we've been exposed to exactly the same...
This was the bit I was struggling with, so thanks for that! I guess I don't need to understand anything more than that it's interesting at the...
I don't really understand much (OK, any!) of this. But I do think Audrey's summation of ME/CFS is very neat indeed.
Good to hear from you, @Shadrach Loom, and hope you're doing okay. I've missed your humour!
Quoting Nietzsche in a medical journal is pretty lame too, specially when he's got the whole of Macbeth to go at.
Yes, that's exactly the point. Everyone finds walking through water hard, so you need to do very little of it. Water based exercises don't load...
I wonder if anyone is running a study inviting people with Covid vaccine injuries to donate DNA for analysis? It seems a shame to miss such an...
I wonder if you even need the blood monitoring? A simple approach might be to get mild or moderately affected patients, plus a control group, to...
I don't know from a medical point of view, but from my own experience I think you might know by the patterns. Even with low-level allergies that...
It's a shame they haven't publicised it more widely, as there could be a sizeable number of severely affected people who're not MEA members...
Yup. @Peter Trewhitt makes a good point about advocacy not always having to include patients; hospital specialists probably do this, but most...
I don't know (I haven't been asked to migrate to UC because I reach state pension age this year), but if you're a member of Benefits & Work you...
They apparently have people who do home visits, and can facilitate doing stuff by phone. As their timelines for progressing anything are so long,...
I think it probably does, which is why we haven't got very far. Even if the whole BPS thing had never happened and all that money had gone into...
I make a point of reading the Tony Benn quote at the foot of @Andy's posts for every one of these so-called studies. It's the only way I can make...
Yes, definitely, but it's hard to know what they are until someone studies the illness course properly. People use relapsing/remitting because...
I suspect the dropout rates would be a lot higher if the interventions were longer. These time-limited interventions seem specially designed to...
No, not always. Take MS for instance. The relapsing/remitting group includes people who're on a downward trajectory, where every relapse is a...
Separate names with a comma.
