And this the abstract doesn't propose (thanksfully). The term FND in its genuin meaning doesn't say anything about causation (though the WHO classification may well). The term FND in its proper meaning is not to critisize, only when it comes to the implication of the interpretation, that it...

CS is a hypothesis, isn´t it? So, why should a hypothesis - which by the way is not worked out in any detailed manner - be a "missing link" to a set of symptoms seen after covid infection? One might ask, if symptoms seen after covid infection could be explained by the hypothesis. And yes, it...

The good news is that when you have SSD in PD, you get a free treatment for FND in PD, too. Some might even call them lucky with PD b/c they might have a non-PD FND which otherwise would never have been recognized, and therefore would never have been treated. If one compares this with ME, then...

This is a silly question, isn´t it? (luckily Hasselroth comes with punishment right away)

Hossenfelder: "How I learned to love pseudoscience"

"they don´t know" - but more normal-healthy persons then could tell or show me. Wasn´t it though that for - to pick one disease up - ME no traits have been found, end of the 90´s? And it almost never has been taken up again for "some" reason? "Recently ..." and end of the argumentation, instead...

The quote is well very instructive. In the case that I find my arm rising, the arm is indeed something I have, and it is in so far something in the outer world. It is also no caveat to further refer to nerve action, which here involuntarily should be responsible for the rising arm. But when I...

This is such a nonsense that it is already good again, though in a another manner. So what if they are doing their job by not doing it? I thing they do it. Thanks to @chrisb I ask myself now, what is left over from my illness if I not try to be ill? The illness? The try, that does need a doctor...

In my understanding the term doesn´t say anything about the causation, which seems to be right, see the random abstract below. When I first come about the CS theory for ME, I found it pretty descent. It was by Nijs and as far as I remember nitric oxide was a central feature in the paper. In a...

I would assume, in my opinion more precisely: ... would imply that all the senses would be potentially effected equally. In this manner a central sensitisation theory may well be able to explain the range of differences seen in PwME, which is sticking out enough even if it is difficult to deal...

What do you mean with that? Is it a description of a feeling - and such descriptions ever are at least vague enough, as language is made for things in the objectworld out there - ? Logically it makes no sense. Pain is a feeling. And then there is an interpretation needed, pain in this or that...

Should I laugh or should I cry?

I fully agree. In general, why is it a problem to admit, that something hasn`t been understood? As a patient I had had the expectation that I am not lied at. I can bear my bad luck. What do people think can they achieve with wishy-washy-somehow-it-might-be-do-anything? In fact a lie is an...

I think it´s the CCC which use alternatively malaise and fatique, which would make up PEM and PEF. Malaise is used as the term for physical felt symptoms, and fatique for symptoms of mental capacity/ability. One of both is required. So in fact, to speak of post exertional fatique would be (on...

I think this is the approach of Naviaux with his theoretical concept of the healing cycle, which then might be broken in ME. I though don´t know how far he has come so far in producing any (general) empirical results.

There is also the sociological knowledge on institutions which are re-iterating themselves (ie their existence), regardless how unsuccessful they are. All these fluffy words though may be successfully trying to evade proper controlling.

Which development? Which groundwork? Apart from BPS-blabla lacking any honest empirical evidence there are only very few, minor and completely inaccurate hypotheses on dysfunctions (in the brain).

I think its the effect of the food (its nutritions) on the basal ganglia, especially on the funnel-shaped nucleus caudatus (therefore the possibly tremendous sensitivity).

They surely laughed because this shows that the "serious" result is completely meaningless?

Yes, thank you, this I meant.
