The reality is more complex and also more mundane. You survive if you can. A high proportion of good women scientists in particular have held on...
I think I probably get to hear, mostly through here, about most of the ideas and we know most of them are pretty pedestrian. In the last two years...
It is the way you do it that is important. I benefited from a scheme set up by the Arthritis Research Campaign that had the policy of seeding...
I am sure everyone has the very best of intentions here. But as, I suspect, the only person involved in this discussion, either here or in the...
Yes I think we do know that. In fact I would say that we are only really interested in the people who have an illness that lasts more than a year...
For me the problem with joining up with Long Covid is that Long Covid has already been colonised by second rate pigeonhole researchers world wide....
So maybe lifetime prevalence is whether you ever get it in your life, which I would expect to be about two to three times higher than the point...
Sounds bizarre to me.
In the ten years I have been watching ME/CFS research DecodeME stood out as an order of magnitude more worthwhile than anything else. Maybe two...
I share this concern partly because it already mentally shoehorns ME/CFS into a 'post-infective illness' pigeonhole. That will immediately bring...
At least one is but Adrian was talking about the lack of progress worldwide.
I think the analysis is probably useless. It looks at the proportion of people with LC who satisfy ME/CFS criteria. But the majority of people who...
There is always a massive amount of work involved in getting a big project like that to fly. I presume Stephen Holgate was involved as a mediator...
DecodeME happened because it was the one very good idea around at the time. It will have involved a lot of work but that is why it happened. I was...
The point is that post-Covid ME/CFS is probably a tiny proportion of Long Covid. Most of it is probably like mine - post-viral fatigue of a...
I cannot see why it should. Useful science is done by individuals with motivation and insight. The overwhelming shift in science in the last...
We will see Adrian. The history of ME/CFS research has been one of dramatic change - and largely in the ten years since we co-authored a paper...
It says: The findings showed that the lifetime prevalence of chronic fatigue for women and men in England may be as high as 0.92% of the...
But project funding is still going to have to go through MRC or NIHR presumably.
The problem of continuing inappropriate reviewing at MRC and NIHR does appear to be real. Many of those signing this proposal, like, me, were on...
