A few more tweaks below.
Yes but that example shows why your argument doesn't really work. The reality is that the idea that ME is a neurological disease has been picked...
Perfect Trish. So we even have a citation (which I have used before). The first not is right but the rest of the sentence is hard to parse...
Yes, if weight is steady it must just be what people need to stay stable and to a large extent the hypothalamus ensures that.
I may have missed that.
I read through the accounts transcribed by McE and B and I didn't see any cases that looked like established upper motor neurone lesions as in...
I can see that! Correct. But then we never can because nobody knows if psychosomatic means anything useful. I think Ramsay is saying more than...
Ramsay seems to have been very confused about the neuro-myology. He thinks there are central nervous (upper motor neurone) signs, but also...
There is no research worthy of that name. They are citing Seltzer along with the hypermobility crowd like Jessica Eccles, Linda Bluestein, and...
Absolutely. This is one of the first things you learn as a medical student posted to psychiatry. In 'psychosis' (schizophrenia, paranoia, biologic...
I don't think there is any harm entailed in counsellors supporting people with ME/CFS. To my mind what should be banned is theory driven...
Yes, well, wrong thinking is actual disease surely. Schizophrenia is actual disease.
I think it is simpler than that. I am talking of the generalised unpleasantness that gets called 'fatigue' or 'exhaustion' or 'bleurrgh' and fades...
Thanks. Do members have examples on this? I think it has been mentioned here but I forget. I don't need any names but if I have reliable...
My view is that the only way to get people to understand the reality of ME/CFS, in the way that I have, Amolak Bansal has, Nigel Speight has,...
He is, but was he thinking clearly? I will immediately reiterate that this is irrelevant to ME/CFS because it is about a quite different illness...
Why not classify patients according to whether or not they like Ryvita? You would then have gut-brain-Ryvita axis diseases. Very useful. Or Mac...
I have added some citations and am hoping to get this in a form ready for publishing fairly soon. More thoughts welcome. I think there is still a...
What a strange idea.
Many thanks for that. It shows just how much clearer the confusion was at the time and why it is time we caught up with the lesson that Acheson...
Separate names with a comma.
