Except that chronic fatigue syndrome isn't a respiratory condition.
To my eye the questionnaire asks for far too much 'interpreted' information. With my limited experience of Longish Covid I am never really sure...
It doesn't have to be. Stress is by definition a response to a threat. If the autonomic nervous system is screwed up by something like...
Yes, one can sympathise but I am pretty sure this is not being served up to the public in good faith. It seems that people with FND follow these...
No.
We will no doubt debate it at length next week!
Moved posts I have had access to the NIH intramural study report but it is embargoed until next week. We can have a full discussion then. I...
I suspect that they have simply demonstrated that people with covid develop antibodies to Covid. Peptides are not a good way to look for...

I see this as a mistake. It probably will get no traction but I think it is muddying the waters for PWME. We have a protocol for ME, in as much...

Funny thing that these markers are not used for diagnosing anything else much either! Not very good for diabetes, brain tumour, respiratory...
I have never heard of the British Society for Physical and Whatsit. Physical Medicine in the UK officially died in 1973. So this is either a group...
A bit like a joint initiative between a white elephant and a dead parrot then? I don't think there is any greater need to be threatened by this...
Nothing new about the problem but it is good that someone has tried to address it systematically.
I vote for introduction of the 'Perez sign': writing papers on FND is a positive diagnostic sign of: FND. It is a sign found in no other medical...
Separate names with a comma.
