"Read the paper", where have we heard that before?

There was a recent case in Norway with journalists that did some investigatory journalism on eating disorders in youth sports. they did not apply for ethical approval as it was "journalism" not "science". This journalism included questionnaires and medical personnel. This was reported, and they...

Well, a journalist is allowed to research and treat pwME in Norway so there is a precedent :banghead:

Two actually decent articles on long covid, except for omitting the similarities to ME, from forskning.no with a focus on how debilitating the illness is (though the framing of "fatigue" as the most bothersome symptom when it will be read by most as people are just a bit more tired is...

I checked my step count, and it has decreased by ~1000/day since I started working, from averaging ~4500 to ~3500. This is with me being in the office typically two-three days a week and working from home the rest. I've had to reduce other activities to make it work. Though another change is...

One of the authors have now shared a free access link to the article:

I hope NICE And an absence of the fact that Cochrane put a label on the CBT review stating it was out of date? Or did I miss it?

Came across this while looking for patient experiences of how health care workers talk about behavior modifications. I found it interesting since at least in my country low back pain is often used as an example of a symptom where the biopsychosocial model is beneficial.

Full title: Physiotherapists may stigmatise or feel unprepared to treat people with low back pain and psychosocial factors that influence recovery: a systematic review Abstract: Question: What are physiotherapists’ perceptions about identifying and managing the cognitive, psychological and...

I have access to the pdf if someone wants it.

There is nothing more to be read, I think they really only meant to have a link to the article in that space. I dislike how some are arguing that CFS is different from ME, and maybe those with CFS may benefit. Some even go so far as to say that those with burnout and similar WILL benefit from...

More about prolonged sick leave from covid in Norway, this time focusing on gut symptoms: Fleire melder om mageproblem etter koronasjukdom Several people report stomach problems after corona disease Again data from our Welfare and Disability Institution (NAV), where they've seen people with...

I think they're interesting, but at least where I am it is not something the dietician orders, we help with adjusting the diet to work around a metabolic problem while still getting the nutrients required. It's been a while since I was reading about these tests and I am not sure how they would...

In some metabolomics data I was working with, we had a handful of compounds with near perfect separation at baseline between the two comparison groups where participants had been put at random. Out of 1000+ compounds, but still. Since the difference was only in these compounds, that was from the...

The way I'm thinking about my own diet and metabolic health, is that the high protein diet is likely providing me with some nutrients that help keep some functions running. Possibly a metabolic backup system of sorts, like how the body prefer to use simple glucose as energy, but can also break...

All of those questions do pop up from time to time and I'd think most nutritionist would have come across them. So you might be able to get some help. That said, I have periodic wolf hunger myself, and had I been my own patient as a dietician I would likely not have found anything "wrong" with...

Is it possible to have the "End malnutrition" under "Campaigning" on the 25% M.E. group website? Or somewhere else on the site? It would make it clearer that there is an association with the account.

This is something that gets too little attention. There are so many special diets that have elimination of food groups, but the elimination part is just a by-product of whatever other thing one wants to do with the diet and gets overlooked when explaining findings. That said, meals and diets...

Patients that are housebound (even only periodically), and/or have cognitive or muscular impairments that made it hard to shop/prepare foods/eat, and/or have nausea or other symptoms that can reduce food intake are generally considered "at risk of malnutrition" and should be screened based on...

This framework was part of a course I took in how to design complex interventions. I really enjoyed the focus on stakeholder (often patients) perspectives and having the researcher write down the assumptions and predicted effects clearly building a so-called program theory and logic model that...
