I just skimmed the article. Seems like the major flaw of the study is incorrect randomization. Now I know of a study which is wayyy more flawed than this. Should we contact the critics* named in the article and try to get them interested in the PACE trial? *John Carlisle, ("a British...

Human bodies are so mysterious and inventive! I would never had thought of a fibroid causing this! But all scientific amazement aside, I'm happy that you figured it out and I very much hope that the surgery will totally cure this and that you, Dr. Sherlock M.T. Holmes, will have a smooth recovery!

Hope you can get lots of rest now, @Hell..hath..no..fury... and @andypants, too.

Great letter, @Graham, and thank you for your work on this!

Thinking of you! :hug::emoji_four_leaf_clover::emoji_ramen::emoji_chocolate_bar::emoji_bath:

All this shame and guilt that comes with chronic illness! We should stop feeling this way! Hope you're safe back home and your partner will come home soon, too!

Hope everything will turn out fine and you and your partner can go home soon!

The programme of both conferences includes two lectures in English. I emailed RME to ask if they will be livestreamed or videotaped. I got this answer today: "Dear Elisabeth, I'm so happy that you have observed the information about our conferences. Yes, the conference will be live-streamed...

"Individuals with a diagnosis of one of four specific MDs, with a duration of at least 6 months, and with mild to moderate anxiety or depression (HADS score ≥ 8) will be recruited" [my bold] So this is why it may work. Although the name of the study is very misleading. It should be named...

Me, too :angel:

How is this a societal belief? What did happen to the scientific fact of pain being an alarm signal? And why do the NHS people do not share this belief, as they do not stand outside society? Or do they think so? Now this is a BPS-belief, but I'm not sure if it is scientifically proven. (I'd bet...

Not for ME/CFS patients, though... sigh... I hope you'll figure it out soon what is causing the compression of your nerve roots! And have it fixed. :emoji_four_leaf_clover::emoji_four_leaf_clover::emoji_four_leaf_clover:

I already wrote this on the other board, but just wanted to emphazise that having neurological signs caused by herniated discs (loss of bladder control, atrophied muscles) is seen as THE indicator for immediate surgery in Germany. These signs would overrule any imaging technique's findings. It's...

The dosis of glutamine in the study was 5g three times a day.

Some "stuff" might be forgotten for very good reasons. I'd wish the BPS-bubble would fall into neglect! Other "stuff" might be unjustly forgotten, because at some point in history there was no evidence, no technique to prove its validity. But science is in constant development. New techniques...

- Fukuda criteria + It's not a BPS study!

As Andypandy said, as a physiotherapist you'd be able to help with strengthening the pelvic floor and improving the sensory perception (which would be helpful in case of enuresis). If enuresis is not the problem, but increased urinary frequency, this has to be checked further, as there are so...
