    ME/CFS services in the United Kingdom

    ME double confusion ! Even so I don't see the PT post as any more malign than the OT post. If we are talking about the ad structure, then however bad, it does only have a very small target audience, if the actual job structure is of concern then being shared across services or departments is a...

    Global prevalence of chronic fatigue syndrome among long COVID-19 patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis 2022 Salari et al

    References are to studies that include the word "fatigue" - I got as far as five of them before giving up - some of the studies have Chronic fatigue syndrome in their reference list and/or discussion, others no mention at all. The 45% prevalence claim, even just for chronic fatigue seems...

    Can anyone give me a copy of this article?

    Sci-hub stopped taking new docs sometime toward the end of last year - I don't know if there's any intention to change that policy.

    ME/CFS services in the United Kingdom

    I read it somewhat differently. It's not unusual for an OT to have a broad range of health impairments within their client group - in this case the OT is taking clients from two separately defined services, the HIV service and the ME/CFS service. It may be unfortunate wording - though of course...

    Rehabilitation of Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Patients with Long-COVID: Position Statement 2022 Sacks-Zimmerman et al

    The symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome are related to abnormal ion channel function, 2000, Chaudhuri et al.

    Speculative and I think largely unsupported by any subsequent work, or at least not further explored: Sci Hub link: https://sci-hub.se/10.1054/mehy.1998.0822 "INTRODUCTION Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a common disorder characterized by fluctuating fatigue which is induced by stress...

    Experiences of carers of youth, adult children and spouses with ME/CFS 2022 Baken et al

    I'm not sure that the underlying research philosophy of this type of study allows doing things very differently. Although not stated this seems to be a piece of 'qualitative research', indicated by use of the term "opportunistic sample". By its very nature qualitative research is fuzzy, but it...

    United Kingdom - Thérèse Coffey appointed Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Sept 2022

    We shouldn't expect that and should not be disappointed if it doesn't happen, whoever is next in post - and we don't know even if any of the current Cabinet will be invited to stay in post, so no automatic change at Dept of Health. The reality is that the UK is in an exceptionally 'stressed'...
