They do also mention that «effort» can also be cognitive effort, not just physical. Then again it’s buried under advice such as «enjoyable activities are more restorative (than non-enjoyable activities)», «find out what is most important to you», «set goals». Of course your helpful health...

And as I have mentioned before, this guideline is for fatigue which is a symptom for many diseases. For disease specific guidance look at the disease-specific guidelines. So we don't have a disease apparently, only symtoms.

And as usual the dietitian’s association is not on the list of organisations they ask for input. This of course doesn’t mean the association can’t write something, but it says something it is not seen as important.

They did it wrong, the trick in nutrition is to first claim it's fine to have problematic studies as long as at least two large ones have the same direction on the results. Then you just have to say you've followed the field's "best practice" and not go into further detail.

This is nerve wracking.

Personally I don't feel well on a ketogenic diet, even though I don't necessarily feel worse for wear if I go a day without food when needed (last time happened during a particularly unlucky travel with major delays and the only possible food option something I simply could not stomach due to...

Something I hadn't seen is that patient organisations have shared the name of the new guideline, and apparently "CFS/ME" has been changed to "ME/CFS" if we can go by the name used in their blog posts :) Edit to clarify: When I say "shared" I don't mean they have shared "this is the new name of...

But do people recover? Or do they live with disability that is just not as serious as it was previously? For example there are things they are not able to do, but it's not framed as illness. I dropped out of school in my late teens, while I've "recovered" enough to be working full-time I'm not...

The draft was supposed to be presented the 21., but has been delayed until further notice.

Multiple opinion pieces of Frøydis Lilledalen about psychologisation and ME is on the most read list on forskning.no for 2025 :)

Research into the giardia outbreak and fatigue have linkings to COFFI, although I don't know Langelands opinion on them.

On inactivity - I still get polyuria episodes despite having an activity level well within normal ranges. They correlate with crashes although they are sometimes my only symptom (ie I have overexerted but it never goes further than the polyuria). I also have crashes without polyuria. Nocturia as...

But at the same time maybe those of us able to be active maintain muscle mass better than other sedentary people through some mechanism? I've been surprised at my muscle mass% when measured being in the upper range of normal/slightly above, and that with various activity levels to say the least...

If you go looking you will find overlap with people who think ME is depression and that all we need is CBT.

Of course! These links are in Norwegian, google translate is giving me errors with cookies if I try to supply a link but it can be translated in-browser easily enough: Forskere felt for ulovlig forskning på transpersoner – nå er de klaget inn igjen English: "Researchers found guilty of...

On a similar note, the Oslo university hospital is under complaint after researchers on gender dysphoria decided to publish research on an audit of their clinical practice, after having received multiple rejections of their research proposals on the same data when it was not an audit. The...

What I find odd is that the groups are so similar and I see no reason to separate them if it is only vitamin D intake, and not the behavior of taking supplements, that is studied. The intakes here are low and I would not expect huge differences in blood concentrations to be honest. Norway is...

The difference in median intake is not particularly high. For reference the typical supplemental dose sold in Norway is 400IU/10mcg. This throws me. The highest intake from food would likely not be close to intake og someone who supplements, so if you find an association between the highest and...

I think we can expect to see variation also within countries. In Norway there was a spike in diabetes 2 in adults in 2022, and a return to "normal" rates of new onset in 2023. Data for 2024 has not been published yet. In 2014-2018 there was ~5k cases/year, in 2019-2020 there was ~10k...

While an increase in childhood obesity have been noted, there are other studies that find an increase in both healthy eating and activity levels. For diabetes type 1 in Norway both genders had an incidence spike in 2022, then a reduced number in 2023 (makes sense as you can only have diabetes...
