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

    Do we actually want multidisciplinary teams tho? Or would specialists (in ME/PVFS/Log Covid) be preferable? Loads of people with tiny bits of knowledge that might be relevant, all communicating with each other, inefficiently experience has shown, with loads of 'biases' that keep shoving us in...

    Covid19 - Shielding and self-isolating for vulnerable people - policies and issues

    The text I received was; I have had no email. ETA - It appears to suggest that CEV people should shield in a tier 4 area, including those not currently in one, e.g. if a CEV person is in a tier 2 area that they should go to a tier 4 area and shield there. It does not state that I should...

    Covid19 - Shielding and self-isolating for vulnerable people - policies and issues

    Well it's Tuesday the 22nd of December 2020 and I have just received quite a confusing text from the Government. Basically it says that clinically extremely vulnerable people (henceforth officially known as CEVs) should shield. It doesn't say that I should shield, just that CEVs should. It...

    ‘Give me back my fact: How can social science help us survive the post-truth pandemic?’, Campaign for Social Science SAGE Annual Lecture 2020

    So they cannot 'do' science so they want to change what is meant by science to something they can do?

    BPS attempts at psychologizing Long Covid

    The story is not credible. If, from the authors perspective it is true, then that would imply that a 'person' has had the mickey taken out of him - and has fallen hook line and sinker for it. Believe it or not there is a fairly easy test to determine if such a thing has been stolen, that...

    UK - NICE guideline on Long Covid

    Clearly covid 19 is not a virus then. As otherwise it would be impossible to legitimately not mention that an ongoing illness, after a viral infection, was post viral. And as everyone involved in this is clearly a good apple, and wearing a white hat, that means that covid 19 is not a virus.

    Occupational therapy and ME/CFS

    Given the cost of labour vs the actual cost of most aids, that sounds like victimisation to me. Someone at the council with a 'grudge' or 'dislike' of pwME. A HCP 'prescribed' aids which they saw as necessary but this was overturned by a council employee - sounds fishy to me. As it seems very...

    Seems to require a paid account to access, so I can't read it, but congratulations on getting it accepted.

    U.K. trial Rehabilitation exercise and psychological support after Covid 19 infection (REGAIN) Warwick University

    My bolding. I see no point in reading further when it starts with such a blatant misdirection. According to my understanding many of the people of whom they speak have still not recovered.

    U.K. trial Rehabilitation exercise and psychological support after Covid 19 infection (REGAIN) Warwick University

    Surely it's long overdue for a trial to find out if keeping a pet rock is beneficial. What is the cause of this obsession that exercise must cure everything.

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

    But they aren't medically qualified to make such an assertion, and those that are, in light of their suffering from ME, biased, and can safely be ignored by 'experts'.

    Presumably they are happy that in that case this isn't science, it's marketing.

    BPS attempts at psychologizing Long Covid

    It's a hell of a lot of work, logistically, physically, and cognitively, to get to a GP for me. I've only ever done it if I consider both that something is having a serious effect on my capabilities, and that they have the capability to help. I have never been to a GP because I was 'lonely'...

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

    Mine were £40 (reduced from £85 or something like that) from amazon, and whilst better than nothing are pretty useless when it comes to many frequencies. Not really any better, IMO, than normal over ear headphones. This would suggest to me that anything sub £100 is likely to be fairly useless...

    Slow cookers and pressure cookers

    My test slow cook sausage casserole is now on - set it for 9 hours on 'more' (high) as I'm concerned about the ability of this thing to actually slow cook. As I'd quite like to eat some of it for tea I did something I've never done for any slow cooked dish, I precooked the sausages, and a spare...

    Lightning Process - discussion thread

    Will this method also allow me to turn things which aren't gold, such as potatoes, or pocket lint, into gold? If I believe they are gold, and tell everyone they are gold, and internally re enforce this, and any time I doubt that they are gold extend my arms with the palm of my hands pointing...

    Slow cookers and pressure cookers

    It's not surprising to me. The only stovetop pressure cooker I ever got on with, ever used more than once, was a little 3L (or whatever the equivalent is in pints or whatever) 1970s skyline. For today it had a very odd lid that didn't rely on clamps - in order to blow the entire vessel would...

    Slow cookers and pressure cookers

    They can be a little stressful until you get used to their creeks and other noises. The one prior to the cosori used to creek like mad on a water test, wasn't as bad with actual food but with just water, it sounded like it was about to explode. I retired it when I got the cosori as I just...

    Far too late to do anything with yesterday, it turned up. https://www.instantpot.co.uk/product/duo-plus-9-in-1-multi-use-pressure-cooker-various-sizes-available/ All I did last night was play and do a few water tests - to check it held pressure and didn't do anything too unexpected, like...
