PPS new name for MUS - Integrated Care for People with Persistent Physical Symptoms 02/10/2018

And I thought PPS stood for Post Polio Syndrome.

 

When I read PPS, in the way they use the acronym, what I am thinking is FFS. The more polite interpretation of FFS is For Freak's Sake. The less polite form is pithier.

 

In 2013 Newton was considering a trial of exercise therapy in primary biliary cirrhosis. In PBC antimitochondrial antibodies are present. The trial never happened presumably because concerns about GET became more vocal ( my interpretation) Unraveling the biological mechanisms of fatigue is complex but it occurs in so many illnesses that it ought to be a top priority.

 

I think JN is too happy t associate with these people and is ambiguous in her papers and approach to exercise, eg at a recent CMRC she was supportive of the poles doing a get trial, and hinted that the lack of patients knowledge/prejudice about it over there might be interesting
