So there is no evidence based treatment, but they know how to treat it? This is a mentality that worries me.
It seems that we have such a poor understanding of what's happening that I don't feel comfortable giving any advice. More selfishly, I also worry...
I think that there's a lot of truth to that. Undoubtedly, some LC patients started with unfair attitudes about ME/CFS, and others a fair (though...
As you say, it's clear that Long Covid is a form of post-viral health problem. At the moment a lot of post-viral health problems are lumped in...
I suspect that keeping some distance between ME/CFS and Long-Covid is likely to be good for us. If Long Covid specific research finds anything...
I'm not sure how accurate all their predictions on this will turn out to be.
I wonder if, even if this holds up, it could just be something associated with ill health generally?

With covid 19 we've had a global pandemic, lock-downs, people being isolated from support (social, medical, psychological). It's a situation where...
Wyller's history of misrepresenting his own results is enough of a problem for me. IMO the biggest problem with PACE was the researchers, and...
Thanks. It looks like I've made a mistake, but then I cannot find a Stevenson with a 'v', and this one was a paediatric doctor, and one of his top...

I agree with a lot of that (though personally I'm not that interested in any recovery stories), but I do think that it's even more complicated...
It's not that I'm deaf to the problems with tone, but I think that the way some have responded more to their interpretations of the tone, rather...
There seem to be a lot of assumptions in there that are not widely held by those with power in EBM, and over us: That the evidence is...
A pretty good explanation for 'why' is that some ME patients think it's okay to act appallingly. The problems with Garner's blog are far less...
Sorry - Evidence Based Medicine. It can be seen as an 'ideal/philosophy' underpinning an approach to medicine, it can still function as a label...
One other thing re Garner - as people keep noting, it's an N=1 personal story. It shouldn't matter than much. Why draw attention to it as if it's...
I take your point but alos think that to many people their roles as 'influential people' are a bit confused when they're just reporting their...
She makes a big thing of saying 'in moderation', which could be interpreted as making her claim pretty meaningless, but I certainly see Gerada as...
