I mean, yes? But also: really, really no.

If there's hysterical edema, why not psychosomatic infection?

Yeowch. Publish or perish should be buried. Then at least they wouldn't be doing it for their paycheck but for reasons of pure, unadulterated greed for accolades.

Because it's literally the only big US source that props up this narrative anymore? I'm guessing that's why. yeaaaaah. PLEASE make a similar comment to the uni. :laugh::rofl::rofl::rofl::trophy@

I see that a correction has been issued. Edit: Weaksauce, "all sides" narrative replacing original comment.

Yes, it's pretty impervious to logic when your claim is that any change in the body is due to changes in thoughts and feelings. It's unprovable and therefore, according to them, unassailable.

Thank you, I've had very similar thoughts on this: might just be an exaggeration of the way that one side is always stronger than the other... but it's gotten pretty extreme.

:hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug: One of the saddest things I've seen in ME beyond outright mistreatment was a person claiming GET and CBT had healed her -- but if you looked at her feed, every second week there was a post about how she'd "overdone it" and now had "a cold" or "the flu"...
