Not necessarily. You don't expect intellectual consistency, do you? It might be pragmatic to distinguish between Covid and Me I think we also have to consider the spurious legitimacy that this body of "research", approved and funded by official bodies, may give her in any cases in which she...

More like a decade.

But that would be to accept "therapeutic nihilism". Much better to do something even if it is not known to have beneficial effect. How else can expertise be professed?

The objective seems to be to "cure" CFS at the risk of leaving them with OCD.

They need to put in a lot of dosh to undo the damage caused by the Chemical Corps' funding of Imboden, Canter and Cluff. It would be interesting to know the amount invested, adjusted for inflation or depreciation.

I suppose it is disrespectful to ask for the evidence that the brain is in fear of a symptom or even what that could possibly mean. EDIT they could do with also studying a further group with similar symptoms commencing at the same time who never had a positive test.

The critical words in that are "NICE" and "committees".

Methods Adolescents (12–20 years old) participating in a postinfectious cohort study who developed CF 6 months after an acute EBV infection were eligible for the present study Does this make sense to anyone? Why would participants have developed CF six months after infection? Are there...

It is insufficient to be "awarded the help she and the family have badly needed since 2016". What about the monetary compensation for the abuse at the hands of doctors and local authorities? They seem unable to sort themselves out. It may take their insurance providers to do the job.

As you may have guessed I'm not very good on bible studies, but isn't there something about "more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents..."? It just needs one more step.

I have not previously seen that chronic fatigue (CF) syndrome That means that subsequent use of "CF" refers to "chronic fatigue" and not "chronic fatigue syndrome". The paper seems very vague on this point

At least as, a Chinese therapy, this does not seem to involve the extermination of flora or fauna.

If there are no established and agreed criteria for inclusion it would be expected that there would be inconsistency in the findings.

Does BACME have a separate policy and position on other "primary fatigue conditions", which they mention in Our Mission is to support health care professionals to develop and deliver clinically effective and holistically informed practice for children, young people and adults with ME/CFS and...

Didn't that little ruse work well?

Is there a limitation with this in that it deals with people who were recognisably symptomatic with Covid 19 and tested positive. What about people initially with minor symptoms or wholly insidious onset, which seems to have been reported? Potential problems need to be noted.

For anyone interested in the Proctor story Margaret William's piece is a starting point http://www.margaretwilliams.me/2005/to-set-the-record-straight-about-ean-proctor-from-isle-of-man.pdf The situation is somewhat nuanced. There is also the involvement of Lask, he of Pervasive Refusal...

The council report on the enquiry which followed the claims is available somewhere on the internet. My recollection is that a therapist was responsible for placing Ean in the pool to, misguidedly, try to induce movement. The attempt was a failure.

I have seen nothing more than that report, but there are interesting questions which may yet be answered. Or not, as the case may be.

I admit that he is probably not well known to people who do not follow sport, but there is an interesting report concerning the cyclist Fernando Gaviria who has had to withdraw from the Giro. Apparently he is now positive for a second time, having previously been ill in February...
