U.K. trial Rehabilitation exercise and psychological support after Covid 19 infection (REGAIN) Warwick University

This is a paper about the fact that they're doing a trial that will be published in a paper?

The idea of taking into account ME and PEM is contradicted by pretty much all the choices that went into this. It's beyond any possible doubt that this BPS stuff is useless. It was invented explicitly on the belief that this is not a real condition, rather a disorder of perception. Or whatever. This is not even disputable.

It's simply an insult to keep on wasting people's lives while pretending this is anything but continuing the same denial and gaslighting that blocked all efforts to help us and ruined millions of lives. They can say whatever they want, it's what they're doing that counts and this is harmful.

 

Encouraging. We'll see whether screening for PEM is properly executed. It would be far better to simply exclude people with PEM. Assuming it's actual psychological support and not ME-CBT, it's a bandaid on a bullet hole.

 

I didn't notice the word "encouraged" there. In that case, it's just PEM-washing. (Saying they're managing PEM safely without actually doing anything). I hope I'm wrong.
The only ethical way to conduct an exercise study on LC patients is to screen for and exclude people experiencing PEM.
