"Finally, what is your own view, or Dr. Saperson’s, of ME/CFS? Do you consider it a mental-health disorder? Do you consider the PACE recommendations valid? Do you approve of CBT or GET as treatments for ME/CFS? Kates declined to answer, stating only “I have nothing else to add.” I also wrote to...

Thanks @oldtimer --- Marcus is a great interviewee, I'm really looking forward to his book and its impact...especially among young adults, his usual readership.

Done.

Done.

Thanks for sharing @borko2100 -- I was diagnosed with TOS a few years ago and will bring this to my doctor's appointment this week.

Thanks -- I've just given a heads up to a relevant person.

"I feel that I have looked down the barrel of the ME/CFS gun and disarmed it". Given his career threatening public statements, perhaps he's pointing the gun at himself?

Fwiw "The synthetic psychedelics LSD and DMT have been shown to help neurons grow in the human brain – but importantly, research shows that LSD and DMT can only boost the growth of already matured neurons, rather than growing brand new neurons."...

Me too -- empty sella syndrome -- I kept mentioning it to doctors as a possible cause / implication in my symptoms, but was dismissed every time -- it is hard to fathom how having a flattened gland can not have an impact.

Hhmmm, let me guess --- you live in BC?

Ugh (replacing string of expletives) Just found out that in 2 weeks Trish is guest speaker at Canada's Occupational Medicine's Annual Scientific Meeting -- this year's focus COVID. She's first speaker on day one...

Trish's tightness to SW explains why she was against ME patients without provocation. Thanks for sharing the extra evidence of her inappropriateness to be the physician figurehead of Long Covid patients. Her beliefs are a threat to the safety of Long Covid patients globally.

Fwiw, I can confirm most of what Peter White wrote in his twitter thread -- I can't confirm anything after she answered the first question, I was too triggered and had to leave the webinar early to prep for a meeting. In her presentation, Trish had a long list of Long Covid symptoms but no...

The webinar was recorded -- before it ended I messaged a request that it not be released unless Trish's assault on ME patients was edited out -- I believe I finished with something like "no use in traumatizing more people". I doubt any of it will be released.

She is being given opportunities but has not yet responded. Her defensive, I was 'set up' posturing as a victim does not portend well.

"most physicians thought infectious disease was something that wasn't rational" -- at about 5 mins.

From the paper: "... those still experiencing symptoms at month 6 with no PEM (n = 707, 28.8%), fatigue was still the most common symptom." I suspect many of those with 'no PEM' at month 6 had learned to stay within their energy envelope so as to not trigger PEM.
