    Who is Simon Wessely?

    Probably the Queen? Just a wild guess... Her husband Philip is said to have said somewhere in the past that if he should be reborn after death he hopes to return as a virus that will decimate humanity. It's not a new concept that royals&co view themselves as (genetically and morally) better...

    Or to use against them. I am thinking about using some of their quotes against the DRV (DWP in UK). Not sure yet...but I see potential.

    Analysis of data from 500k individuals in UK Biobank shows an inherited component to ME/CFS (Ponting blog)

    Is there some knowledge about other mutations in other genes coding for collagen, like ELN? And could there be a connection to EDS? (Also, highly speculative.) The finding is very interesting, and the article is well written (good to understand). But the limitations mentioned aren't "peanuts":

    No @Barry! Oh :) I was sorry to have taken the other thread off-topic. (Now I'm sorry to have upset you.) :angel:

    Treating patients suffering from myalgic encephalopathy/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) with sodium dichloroacetate, Comhaire 2018

    Thank you @Woolie for this fantastic post! I agree an extra discussion would be interestinbg (new thread). You put so clearly into words what I think for a long time: "In a word, it's a mess."

    Treating patients suffering from myalgic encephalopathy/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) with sodium dichloroacetate, Comhaire 2018

    This needs to be checked. I never checked it, and I guess I would have to dig into logistic regression. I don't think it's trivial - a problem might be axiom 3. After seeing the definition of logit and reading a bit (and not understanding entirely!), e.g...

    Does he say here that CBT and GET don't bring people back to employment/work?

    Michael Sharpe skewered by @JohntheJack on Twitter

    Indeed?! Always reminds me so much of "Arbeit macht frei". Yes, paid work = employment (no, caring, e.g. for family or others, volunteering etc. are bad because they don't contribute to profit; and relaxing or enjoying are worse, too) brings fulfillment, salvation and, yes, even health! (All...

    It's the poor doctors that need to be kept safe from patients like us that will blame the doctor for everything if it's physical. If it's "psychogenic", the patient can be blamed.

    If everything works fine (-> zinc, selen and others e.g.). She should have her ft4 and ft3 checked. I took T4 alone and I could have increased it to 100 micrograms or whatever, but it didn't improve hypothyroidism symptoms, only that I got hyperthyroidism symptoms, too. My ft3 remained low...

    Correspondence from the DWP for 2005

    Do you have more info about that? I never heard of it, but it sounds scandalous. I would like to understand better.

    Treating patients suffering from myalgic encephalopathy/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) with sodium dichloroacetate, Comhaire 2018

    Axiomatic definition of probability after Kolmogorov (note there are also other definitions, but this one was used where I studied and I guess it's the definition widely applied): First axiom The probability of an event is a non-negative real number: where is the event space. In particular...

    “It Has Come to My Attention…” How Institutional Complaints Procedures are Being Weaponized (article in Quillette)

    Well, that shows where the "royal" focus lies...Mental health support for children - since Crawley&Co. I know what that can mean. This sounds like from 50+ years ago. On the other hand, it's very modern because we need our future workers that contribute to profit.

    Updates on status of ICD-11 and changes to other classification and terminology systems

    Yes. But obviously no one cares? These people are very close to having established that ME/CFS will be diagnosed as somatoform disorder (BDD) in the future. In fact, in the future every illness might be diagnosed as "somatoform" - because, you know, it's not so important to distinguish between...
