Yes, but seriously, is the mere fact of recovery sufficient to exclude ME? If someone has an illness lasting more than 4 or 6 months, take your pick, which appears to be ME, is the diagnosis to be withdrawn on recovery? I make no comment about the particular case as there is insufficient...

What arethe criteria for distinguishing between such conditions?

I suppose he had better include that Tweet in the next Cochrane review and analysis of evidence. In 2oo2 they would of course have known so much about Covid that no further comment is considered necessary' He could be woofing up the wrong tree.

I wondered about that and presumed that Vogt must be suggesting that it was not the exercise which had the effect but the change in attitudes and beliefs which enabled the exercise to be done. All nonsense, of course. EDIT in response to post #676

Someone seems to have taken the "p". Hard to stop doing what one has always done.

Presumably it's a mnemonic to remind the children to look at the clock to ensure they go to bed at the right time.

I feel that there is a problem not so much with what Garner said, though that is bad enough, as with why he said it in the way which he did. It must be presumed that he has reasonable communication skills. He ca n hardly have failed to anticipate the reaction. It would have been simple to write...

Looking at the CauseHealth sight this appears in the statement of "mission" OUR MISSION CauseHealth is a non-profit centre working to improve how causal evidence is understood, produced and used in health science and practice, through transdisciplinary research, education and communication...

This article is intersting in view of recent discussions. Perhaps we now have evidence of the efficaciousness of exercise for long-covid. But what sort of exercise? Apparently running on your own does not work (CG). Military style training may or may not, we cannot be sure. (PG). However a...

Henceforth to be be known as Cochandbullrane.

So when was that? Do we interpret the numbers behind him as 2018? He could have tweeted it then.

This paper came up in discussion at the CIBA Conference in 1992, following Edward's paper on Muscle histopathology and physiology in CFS Komaroff: On the question of mitochondrial myopathies, Professor Behan has published a paper with illustrations of very distorted mitochondria; these findings...

They do say that laughter is the best medicine. So perhaps she's doing her best to help.

Strange, that. PG does not demur in any way from the statement that he is an expert. I thought he said early on that he knew nothing about ME. How can you claim to be an expert in the field yet know nothing about medium and long term sequelae of infection?

"Emotional lability" has alwys been cosidered a symtom of ME. I begin to wonder whether intellectual lability should also be considered.

Are they part of the Hole in the Argument Gang?

It seems a pity that we have to be critical of someone who has been ill,and is confused by what has happened to them. Had he written some obscure personal blog we could have happily ignored it and him. His problem is in chosing to publish in the BMJ, with the spurious credibility which that...

What is the duty of transparency on the part of the author and the journal? On reading the article again it is far from clear the extent to which he has "recovered", the length of time for which he has been "recovered", and the hature and extent of the exercise undertaken to effect the...

Probably not. It seems entirely in line with the strategy of the main BBC news programmes in providing lengthy, irrelevant anecdote, of no possible interest to anyone.

How the other half live! That must be essential travel.
