Interesting paper Oculomotor Behaviour in Individuals with Long COVID-19, 2024, González-Vides et al. There is some link with the 'Spanish...
From the abstract, this looks interesting - good sample size, good differentiation between the cohorts, looks like all of the measures are...
Such a good post @Ken Turnbull. I had to do a psychological assessment as part of a recruitment process and some of the questions asked were...
It's an interesting theory. The previous paper is discussed here:HERV activation segregates ME/CFS from FM and defines a novel nosological entity...
[ATTACH] Figure 1: a is the responders, b is the non-responders. SF-36 PF
They don't say that SF-36 was the primary outcome. A lot (really a lot) of other things were measured too, e.g. Fatigue Severity Scale, Bell...
Please can they blind these future studies? Two thirds of patients improving from 25 to 60 on the SF-36 PF score over 6 months in a small...

I think the paper usefully makes the point that FND equals hysteria and conversion disorder and mental illness, a That may have some people who...
Yes, but it works against us if the holes in the paper are big enough to drive a truck through. If a patient takes this paper to their GP and says...
You make a lot of good points Trish, and yes, it looks as though the authors have put a lot of time into the paper, but I agree with Jonathan that...
The fact that ME/CFS (and Long Covid) looks different to functional seizures and functional motor disorders doesn't prove that ME/CFS (and Long...

We have moved some posts directly relevant to managing feeding problems and Jonathan's Qeios article here: Management of Nutritional Failure in...
I'm no expert of course, but I think the process of digestion which is noted above to include some molecule synthesis could in fact take more than...
