The more I think about it and review the De-Paul Symptom questionnaire, the more I think it’s appropriate to say using the DSQ to measure PEM is...
Yes. I’m a little worried the story of long COVID will echo the story of ME. Lots of people start claiming it’s caused by persistent virus with...
Not really thanks for pointing that out. I sometimes use the search function and I didn’t realise this post was that old!
I find that to be a deeply worrying and inappropriate reply on his end.
