    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    The problem the NHS has with long covid treatment centers is there simply aren't enough mountains in the UK with no road access - all of the available ones having been grabbed ages ago by disability benefit assessment centers. Okay, not 100% accurate - but might metaphorically be as accurate as...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    erm...some of me has breathlessness, and on occasion, for no apparent reason, i try and do goldfish impressions (generally noticed by other before me) ;)

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    This is the sort of thing that may happen when you have a group which, after a year of being told that it's unsafe to go out (more unsafe than usual anyway) is told that the vaccine, whichever it is, is stupid percent effective against everything that's out there, for everyone who takes it...

    The Chronic Elephant blog by hellytheelephant

    The cat may need more training - although getting stuck in things is a simple task for most cats so you may need to consider having it evaluated for cognitive impairment ;) Lockdown, for me, has been mainly about freedom, freedom from having to interact, at least on some levels, with other...

    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    I suspect that expecting homeopathy trials to not give results in a homeopathic form is a bit unfair. Of course they give positive results - the proof is there for all to see, in the total undetectability of positive results. Homeopathy, a complete absence of detectable evidence proves it...

    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    So not listening means a different thing to ignoring as far as you are concerned? "I did this by listening to people that have recovered from CFS/ME, not people that are still unwell" Nasty/Nice is a/the name for the approach/philosophy I referenced in post 781. It is not my term.

    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    Ignoring people is not treating them with respect. It is my understanding that, by default, people are supposed to be treated with respect, unless they, as individuals, not as a group, show that this is not appropriate. Not doing so is how 'isms develop. I am puzzled why some medical...

    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    That is not the way 'people' work, and it's also not the way rigorous testing has suggested is a successful way of dealing with people. It has been suggested, by someone on the BBC, so it must be right, that if you start off treating people nicely, and with respect, and then essentially reflect...

    XMRV and Public Health: The Retroviral Genome Is Not a Suitable Template for Diagnostic PCR, ... ME/CFS, 2017, Panelli et al

    Based on the above excerpt it doesn't look, to me, like that's what is being said. It looks as if they are saying that the primers, not the samples, are not providing enough accuracy and so are/have been producing inconsistent results. In short that we/they don't have the tools needed to test...

    An Hour of Light and Sound a Day Might Keep Alzheimer’s at Bay

    I've just re-read this thread and come to the conclusion that the hypothesis makes absolutely no sense, at least to me. What is the proposed mechanism? Why 40 hz and not 39.996734hz? Given that processing in the visual and auditory systems does not run at the same speed, or with the same...

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    Is that all over 70s serious illness? Or just the serious illness relating to covid-19? Or did he, as I would suspect, not clarify so imply, to those not paying attention, that the vaccine is 80% effective against all illnesses in the over 70s?

    Yep - 'Odd' - that's the word that comes to mind. (I did have other comments but I suspect they may be seen as in 'poor taste'.)

    [CFS]: Abnormally fast muscle fiber conduction in the membranes of motor units at a low-level static force load, Klaver-Krol et al, 2021

    Would this explain why muscle wasting is rarely reported in pwME (at least in those who are not very severe)?

    BMJ: Rapid response to 'Updated NICE guidance on CFS', 2021, Jason Busse et al, Co-chair and members of the GRADE working group

    It may well have been 'unpaid' but presumably he received 'compensation', if for nothing else than for the time it took to find, buy and bring his own water to whatever working lunches he attended (presumably he learned about this practice from somewhere before he started employing it himself)...

    Noise cancelling headphones! Oh Joy! (and other ways to block sound)

    The reviews, at least the ones on amazon, really aren't that good, at least for the isolate mini.

    Noise cancelling headphones! Oh Joy! (and other ways to block sound)

    I do have a passing interest in the 'calmer' version - but £20 plus whatever exorbitant charge they make for postage, seems like a lot for .8p worth of shaped rubber - as there doesn't seem to be anything else to them. Especially as I have no idea what size I would need. (I've looked at their...
