I'm not familiar with fatigue following B12 supplementation. I don't think I would have asked a GP or dietitian about MTHFR, you're likely to either be preceived as someone believing in rubbish or be told a lot of rubbish. What type of B12 did you take following Rich van Konyenberg protocol...

I hardly ever use the name of whoever I see beyond introductions, and my experience in Norway is that first name is what is common for said introductions. Sometimes title, but that would be to explain who the person is, not an honorific. I could say "Hi, I'm midnattsol and I am your dietitian"...

That is a problem, but with the packaging it is possible to get a semi-reliant estimate from looking at recipes for a similar meal and compare the recipes nutrient content with the nutrient content on the packaging. Food composition datatables are also increasingly adding ready meals, so...

Yeah, the only reason I can do a recall is that I eat more or less the same throughout the week, so there are very few things to remember. I'd like to include a question about foods that are avoided (or foods that have previously been excluded from the diet for some reason) and/or cause some...

That's an important point. I've had patients that have filled out food records who say knowing that they are supposed to write down everything they eat makes them eat differently so it is easier to write down. Also obviously there are other reasons for these records not working out.

I've been thinking about how best to survey dietary intake in a population with cognitive impairment and/or low cognitive stamina. Food Frequency Questionnaire Typically for a survey, one could use a food frequency questionnaire that consists of a finite list of foods and beverages with...

Split from the "News from Scandinavia" thread pwME were made fun of in a recent podcast by two well known media profiles in Norway (who have ties to Vogt and Kennair, both proponents of the Lightning Process study), among other things comparing talking an ME patient advocate to talking to ISIS...

"a group Scandinavian psychologists"? Wyller and Flottorp are not psychologists.

Hilda has written a review on what happens when reviews are not updated and becomes "zombie reviews": Blog: What’s Happening When Living Systematic Reviews…Stop? by Hilda Bastian
