    USA: Mount Sinai PACS clinic and Dr David Putrino

    Andy, did you read that as him suggesting PEM was a sign of FND? In my view, he was saying there that FND people interpret basically every symptom and manifestation of fatigue, dizziness, etc. as a sign of FND, as in: "People have relapses after minimal exertion? Must be a positive clinical sign...

    I assume that was supposed to be 16 months--at least, I hope so! but I haven't heard of complex PTSD before.

    Illness-Promoting Psychological Processes in Children and Adolescents with Functional Neurological Disorder 2023 Kozlowska et al

    I thought pushing difficult thoughts and feelings out of your mind was supposed to be a positive thing in the context of "functional" illnesses, since negative thoughts/feelings are considered to reinforce the catastrophic thinking. But here they consider pushing negative thoughts/feelings away...

    UK: Recruiting: Inflammation and brain function in Functional Neurological Disorder: implications for diagnosis and treatment: Study 1

    In her TED talk, she also repeats the claim that FND is the #2 diagnosis at neurology clinics--as I have shown, this is a complete exaggeration based on a mis-reading of a 2010 paper.

    Preprint Post-Vaccination Syndrome: A Descriptive Analysis of Reported Symptoms & Patient Experiences After Covid-19 Immunization, 2023, Krumholz, Iwasaki +

    If there are a lot of anecdotal reports, as happens in this sort of reporting system, it's worth reviewing what they say and then perhaps conducting a systematic look to find out if there's any reality to the phenomenon. I understand the point about not touting it on social media and agree it...

    Preprint Post-Vaccination Syndrome: A Descriptive Analysis of Reported Symptoms & Patient Experiences After Covid-19 Immunization, 2023, Krumholz, Iwasaki +

    I haven't read the study but to me it's clear it involves descriptive data based solely on self-reported symptoms. As you suggest, that data can be useful. I agree that the final statement takes it for granted that the data "prove" the phenomenon is a real thing. I would say the data suggest...
