I think it is, and that it was phrased this way for political reasons as you say. It sounds a bit desperate, so I'm not taking it very seriously...
Thanks, I'd forgotten about that. I'm thinking of the more recent, much slippier language.
I can't even remember what MUPS means. Medically Ubiquitous Parrot Symptoms? (I can feel a new word game coming on.) But seriously, I can't...
I suppose you can't blame them, since the alternative ( :eek: ) is to look at the causes.
An important point. I'm not sure about using reversible (they usually speak of improvement), but they present it as a treatment. They take care...
Even if the organisations gave permission, it's still not really adequate. Prising open difficult emotional issues and just walking away should...
PS: many, many thanks to David and George too. This is an incredibly useful exposition of the background to the story.
Thank you, @JohnTheJack. I did a bit more work on it, basically using the Word editor to remove all the 'um' type words, and all the instances...

But you wouldn't begin with a phase 3 trial, surely? Groups usually start with phase 1 or 2 trials, with smallish cohorts. If the results looked...
Yep! But I do wish someone would look at how to design apps to leverage the technology in consumer wearables specifically for Long Covid and ME. I...
I'd be quite prepared to write Is This For Real? in some of them. Obviously I'd put in something exceptionally rude first, but in the interest of...
As @Peter Trewhitt said in another thread (which I can't seem to find), there's the complication that recently diagnosed people may genuinely...
I can't quote him exactly, but he mentioned starting with well-characterised patients with no potentially confounding diagnoses. From what I...
I think most sedative drugs can depress breathing. Your pharmacist would know more? I can't remember having anything like this connected to ME...
That would seem to be the big "if".
Separate names with a comma.
