In that case if we can't show this is the case we should abandon the theory that neuroinflammation is the cause of depression.
I can't see this happening...
This wasn't a case of disagreement in good faith, this was bad faith by whoever at the hospital was trying to take rights away from the patient and their family without the family doing anything wrong.
I agree but there is a big difference from quackery to medical disagreement. The Mayo case...
This sentence leads to this question, one of the current theories is that depression is caused by neuroinflammation, what are your thoughts on this (afaik it does not show up on MRI)
I look at it as a sum of all forces, if people are worse off over time then they have progressed. The mechanism is not well understood, is all progression from overdoing it into PEM, would it progress on its own if patients were diagnosed the day after they got ME/CFS and told to never go into...
Not a cheap price, but not completely insane.
It does not have to be a booklet, an advertisement or editorial might be good enough?
Would a paper include it if it was sent as a letter to the editor (do they still do that)?
I see. If i had been asked 10 years ago i would have said i was rather static, the decline was very slow and hard to notice but for much later hindsight (unfortunately), but if you asked me today my last 7 years has been very downhill :(
I can't read it, i lack the cognitive ability to get...
This is very interesting.
What kind of timeframe did they study for disease duration?
Also were they able to define patients that said they were fine but had reduced their activity to levels to fit their capabilities, i recall there was discussion or paper on this (does this ring a bell for...
This is insane.
I do want to know why they did this, there has to be some reason they would go out of their way to torment a family and try to kidnap a patient. It could be as simple as a doctor who feels aggrieved but it merits a full investigation IMO
Of course, thats why i called it informal.
I wish it was not progressive "except for a minority" but starting with the conclusion that its not progressive except some then constantly moving the goalposts to maintain that conclusion is not cutting the mustard.
GET studies in general seem to find...
Indeed, it seems from the informal poll its a minority that do not progress instead of the other way round.
And to get the results they wanted in PACE they had to ratchet down the recovery threshold, not keep it static...
