A Tale of Two Nails in which Rachel Zoffness explains pain by the simple device of logical fallacy - a cat has four legs, dogs have four legs, ergo all cats are dogs (but as it happens not all dogs are cats because that wouldn't support my book selling argument). Zoffness doesn't actually...

We really don't need at this stage of the ME/CFS game to be arguing about what is or is not justified scientifically, a process of data gathering that isn't amenable to testing within a falsifiable hypothesis isn't data of scientific value. That the process can be used to gather data of...

Blow to UK science ambitions as BEIS "surrender" £1.6billion of R&D funding to Treasury Today the Government has released its Central Government Supply Estimates 2022-23, in which it is detailed that the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has returned £1.6billion of funds to...

Actuarial view: Great Sickness?” – is the Government at risk of ‘barking up the wrong tree’ on the rise in economic inactivity ? "Initial commentary on these figures dubbed it a ‘Great Retirement’, suggesting that large numbers of older workers have chosen to opt out of paid work, living off...

Thank you for the comprehensive response. I hadn't understood that U09.9 was effectively closed as a sequence. On that basis I guess my question is why R69.n and not R53n with a new numbering for Post-exertional malaise ? Is it likely that the ICD coders would accept 'malaise' appearing at R69.n...

That would be a reasonable thing for epidemiologists to look out for but as things are we simply have no way of knowing. Just taking the US alone there are around 3.5 million deaths a year, which at a prevalence rate of 0.25% (which seems an accepted ball park figure) for ME/CFS suggests that...

Twitter Thread from Sabine Hossenfelder "The major insight that I have taken away from this is to never, ever, trust a press release."

Given the range symptoms included in the melange that is Long COVID, it's not surprising that there are those who are connecting selected dots to draw FND pictures: Functional Neurological Disorder in people with Long-Covid: A Systematic Review "Discussion Neurological symptoms are prevalent...

I'm just trying to understand the logic of the proposals - I can't grasp why R68 is the preferred location, your example 'sleep dysfunction' doesn't appear in the R68 et seq, but is located at G47 et seq, and would seem to follow the Exclude 2 instruction for R68 "Signs and symptoms classified...

The move of CFS to G93.32 as of October 1st 2022 ICD-10-CM Codes formalises the position of the IOM 2015 diagnostic criteria in the G93.32 coding as defined by the CDC IOM 2015 Diagnostic Criteria . I've no idea if this was intentional or serendipitous to the coding change but I think that in...

This is why selective quotes from single studies always need context and caution. Jason et al didn't make grand claims for their 2006 paper, they were explicit about the data source and the limitations of their study as their final summary paragraphs demonstrate: "There are a number of...

The 'cohort' is just 144 deaths reported by family members to the National CFIDS Foundation Memorial List there was no 'correction' - Jason et al simply sorted the deaths into categories.
