    Exploring anhedonia in adolescents with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS): A mixed-methods study, 2021, Smith, Crawley, Loades et al

    Gobsmacking given the length of careers here . So much time, so much funding and yet still Not a clue... Inept dosnt really cut it. Perhaps @TiredSam will be able to advise if there is a better word in German as it tends to conjugate nuance well. No doubt this will also be coming down the...

    Validation of the PHQ-9 in adults with dissociative seizures, 2021, Lopez, Chalder et al

    Ironically EC has recently made a big deal of asking patients about scales, illness perception / experience . Sadly the power asymmetry is not recognised and language is so easily suggestible when conducting interviews . AfME have said that children use different language to describe their...

    Psychosomatic medicine and the psychologising of physical diseases

    I don't think you can think yourself better . Perception and actuality are often different , perhaps ironically because we want them to be. We want to " feel" better, and this basic need is being exploited. Many adjust to illness and the datum of what is " well " is forgotten due to time and...

    Independent advisory group for the full update of the Cochrane review on exercise therapy and ME/CFS (2020), led by Hilda Bastian

    “She used to be Tigger and then she was Eeyore”: young people, CFS/ME, exploring predictors of recovery, 2021, Clery, Crawley et al

    Note the reframing of recovery again. 3rd paper I think to mention it. Unless charities do something about it it will become a fait accompli. @Russell Fleming @phil_in_bristol

    Recovery from chronic fatigue syndrome: a systematic review—heterogeneity of definition limits study comparison, 2021, Moore et al (Esther Crawley)

    Follows on from previous study ( I think there is a thread) - opens the way for ACT and recovery to be a more psych based concept. With power asymmetry ( which clinicians and teachers do not really seem to understand st all ) this will not be too difficult to achieve. I would like to bet that...

    Prevalence of (ME/CFS) in three regions of England: a repeated cross-sectional study in primary care, 2011, Lacerda,Nacul

    Here locally GPS do not diagnose ME/ CFS. In children paediatrics diagnose. Adults commonly have Post viral syndrome / post viral fatigue. We have no specialist clinics etc. I wonder how the study would have fared here.

    Orthostatic intolerance

    It may depend on severity but there are a variety of meds that appear to improve function . Beta blockers seem to be the go - to for initial treatments, with others if these don't work out. I know of a teen whose life was transformed by POTS meds as it seemed io be a huge component of his illness
