...and of course these Chinese psychosomatic authors used the disastrous Patient Health Questionnaire 15 ( PHQ-15) to diagnose MUS.

He affirms that it will...

Whether one is for or against medical assistance in dying, offering it as an option because there is a lack of resources or access to appropriate care and support is, in my view, an unethical and inhumane aberration. This outrages me more than I can express...my worst fears are confirmed. This...

Article on Long Covid published in the "Le Nouvelliste", newspaper of one of the main cities of the Province of Quebec (Canada). The people interviewed describe well what it is like to live with LC, the major impacts on life and the little information, help and support from the health system and...

Dear Wyva, I hope it gets better for you. :hug: As far as I am concerned, my noise intolerance appeared at the same time as ME. I am hypersensitive to the point that I constantly wear earplugs, day and night (except in the shower !). I even have nude earplugs that are smaller and more discreet...
