    How to best move the understanding of ME/CFS forward (and the forum's role in that)

    Yeah, that was never part of the mission statement. And took 8 years to do it. :grumpy:

    Review Functional neurological disorder, physical activity and exercise: What we know and what we can learn from comorbid disorders 2024 Boylan et al

    In this traditional narrative literature review, Off to a bad start. (I am not a fan of narrative reviews at the best of times, traditional or otherwise. They are mostly just pseudo-scientific manifestos promoting the authors' ideological prejudices, in my humble opinion.) (Also, FBM is...

    Acceptability and feasibility of a theatre-based wellness programme to support people living with long COVID, 2024, Burton et al.

    Reflections on the CODES trial for adults with dissociative seizures: what we found and considerations for future studies 2024 Stone, Carson, Chalder+

    That is a straight up admission that the trial failed, and the FND club are hardcore anti-science psycho-ideologues. This.

    Family healthcare patterns as a proxy for transgenerational transmission of functional somatic symptoms in early childhood... 2024 Hogendoorn et al

    Poverty is the greatest cause of poor health and premature death. Excusing society from dealing with it, and instead blaming the victims, is just sickening cruelty.

    Family healthcare patterns as a proxy for transgenerational transmission of functional somatic symptoms in early childhood... 2024 Hogendoorn et al

    Conclusion Family healthcare use, especially within the general practice, may play a role in the transgenerational transmission of FSS. Early-stage FSS identification and care might be improved through training aimed at GPs. Future research may identify vulnerable families at whom parent-focused...

    I have long thought that the mechanics of the ECM need some serious attention.

    Habitual physical activity and COVID-19 2024 Glace et al

    Within the first day of infection you have a metabolic profile which predicts the outcome, and that can be whether you recover, whether you get long COVID or whether you're going to die. This could be interesting. Predictive power at this level is good.

    USA: The RECOVER Initiative - Long Covid research

    I think LC patients are expecting too much too quickly. I mean, they should be demanding good science on this, and lots of it. But effective clinically applicable results ain't gonna happen overnight.

    Long COVID – Can we deny a diagnosis without denying a person’s reality?, 2024, Little et al.

    They hate and fear us because our mere existence exposes their ignorance and incompetence, their technical and ethical bankruptcy, and the consequences of that for patients. Then we delusional peasant scum add insult to injury by proactively, and accurately, pointing all that out out to the...

    USA: The RECOVER Initiative - Long Covid research

    Review Persistent physical symptoms: definition, genesis, and management 2024 Löwe, Rosmalen, Burton et al

    I am very firmly of the view that it is deliberate. They know what they are doing. It is entirely arse covering for their very serious sins during the 20 year reign of the current editor in chief, Horton, and will not change while he remains in the position.
