    The right to record medical consultations - UK and other countries

    In the US it also varies state-by-state; some states require one-person consent (usually the person doing the recording) or two-person consent. https://www.justia.com/50-state-surveys/recording-phone-calls-and-conversations/

    Survey of activity pacing across healthcare professionals informs a new activity pacing framework for chronic pain/fatigue, 2019, Antcliff et al

    Because people (patients) are machines; our brains and intuition and thoughts aren't to be trusted. Emotions n stuff.:banghead::arghh: If it fits neatly into an algorithm, by god, that's where it's going to stay (GET, etc.)

    Acupuncture and other traditional Chinese medicine news and discussion thread

    Early on in my illness I went to one acupuncturist one day a week in the evening for about 12 weeks. The following day I would have enough energy to complete errands like shopping and whatnot. Then the following day I would fall back to my baseline. I had my one 100% remission that lasted two...

    Activity baseline vs activity ceiling, why concepts and language matter

    After being sick for 28 years this is more or less how I manage. Using heart rate monitors never appealed to me; even Lucinda Bateman recommends that people try to do their best without monitors and learn to recognize when they need to slow down. The only thing that might be possible to do -...

    Activity baseline vs activity ceiling, why concepts and language matter

    I agree that the concept of a baseline is a myth. When I wake up I don't know how many "spoons" I will have that day - maybe 5, maybe 1. And sometimes the spoons I thought I would have that day disappear mid-day. Dr. Lucinda Bateman I think described energy management and pacing as trying to...

    Sleep Education in Primary School Prevents Future School Refusal Behavior, 2019, Miike et al

    Their definition of CFS isn't even close to any the definitions we use: It's the same misuse of the term CFS when applied to mice that are forced to swim to exhaustion. This study is about sleep disruption leading to poor school attendance leading to "school refusal behavior" that is given the...

    Neuropathic pain

    A lot of patients with Erythromelalgia don't have the redness, myself included. There was a survey of several hundred patients that confirmed this. There are two things that distinguish EM: 1. Pain is worse at night. 2. Pain is worse during warm weather.

    Neuropathic pain

    I think the reason one person may respond to one medication for neuropathy and another person won't may be due to the cause of the neuropathy, i.e. diabetic neuropathy vs. traumatic neuropathy from an injury, etc., or erythromelalgia (that feels like a neuropathy). For a neuropathy in one leg...
