To be fair, I got quite a bit for assuming Excel must be able to calculate time, because it'd be ridiculous if it didn't. "I'd never have thought...
I'm beginning to think we need another study. So: Group A uses up however much of their available resources are required to fill in all this...
I can't speak for others, but I'd settle for powerful voices in the medical profession saying "We got this wrong. Let's try to do better."...
I'd be less furious if I thought that was a possibility! All too often people like this actually fail upwards. It's fine for scientists to be...
But did you need a physio to supervise it? Or would the effort of needing to attend an appointment consume all your spare energy (plus some you...
I think one of the differences might be sleep. I haven't many memories of this because I got ill in my teens, but I do remember a couple of...
But you still couldn't make any kind of prediction, because PEM isn't a thing on its own. You might work out a way to predict theoretical energy...
Not hypnotic enough? Magic spell not working? But seriously, I wonder if they're confused about the subjective sense of fatigue and actual...
I had some of this at work, there was always an underlying assumption that things will gradually get better. Of course for some people with LC...
Given that I can't predict how able I'll be 20 minutes from now, I doubt it. I might have an attack of IBS, or my leg muscles might go dead, or I...
I expect the likes of me will still be balancing on one leg, trying to struggle out of a wet costume behind the undersized towel my mam's holding up.
From the website: Good to hear that at least some of them were considered useful!
I don't think the terminology or the usage is at all fixed. What I describe as PEM is the routine reaction to previous activity. It's fairly...
From @MSEsperanza: A general (maybe dumb) question about epidemiology: Are there chronic diseases that somehow protect from getting certain...
I think it's possible to have both cock-up and conspiracy. It's unlikely that there was an intention to screw over patients, and very unlikely...
I agree, I'm quite willing to believe Walitt really thought he could use fMRI machines to find the toadstone. And it doesn't surprise me that,...
This is what grieves me so much about the waste. Care for chronically ill people needs reorganising from the ground up, to recognise that...
The whole thing appears to have been a decades-long academic exercise. There's almost nothing in the publications about trying to find out what...
They're not. That's crucial in sustaining the model, because if people knew the risks of engaging with these programmes, they wouldn't touch them...
I was very disappointed at the lack of a bedtime story in the offer.
