We'll brook no criticism of the Senescent And Geriatric Elimination advisers.

I wonder whether any Post-covid sufferers have yet started to understand the use of the word "post". I bet they all think it's aetiological. Sometimes it can take years to understand that it may merely be describing correlation and not causation. Some of them may have had the benefit of a...

Perfectly right and proper. Someone has to worry about the unemployment figures at this time.

The main problem with that is in understanding the use of the term "coherent". We would probably like to see a"logical and consistent" service, provided it followed the right logic and consistency. Would we want to see a "forming a unified whole" service of the wrong sort?

The recommendations on graded exercise therapy in CG53 only apply to people with a diagnosis of ME/CFS as part of specialist care, and CG53 is clear that this should be part of an individualised, person-centred programme of care, with GET only recommended for people with mild to moderate...

So we believe that Fauci says that post-covid syndrome is highly suggestive of ME. Do we now know what he considers ME to be?

One would have thought that Wessely and Sharpe were bright enough to be alert to the dangers of quoting favourably from a paper without dissociating oneself from potentially damaging remarks. Does that The common factor about all these processes is that they are understandable and reversible...

She did say they are a "special interest group".

Apologies. I recognise tat all this presentation of quotes is a bit tedious-but it has to be done. In his chapter on chronic fatigue in the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy book in 1997 Sharpe wrote Related physiological changes in muscle may at least in part explain exercise-associated muscular...

The one reference to Edwards 1986 paper in Wessely at als Cognitive Behaviour Management of PVFS in 1991 is As an additional benefit, useful physiological changes can be expected. After all, rest, with its inevitable deleterious effects on cardiac, respiratory and muscle physiology, is hardly...

To support my case for the concealment, whether accidental or deliberate, of papers related to effort syndrome I would quote History of Postviral Fatigue Syndrome S Wessely British Medical Bulletin (1991)vol 47 no 4pp 919-941 @p926 From its dominant position in the Surgeon General's Index...

Clearly they have an "effort syndrome" . Finally: Don’t give up hope. You can cure your Effort Syndrome if you really want to! https://doi.org/10.1111/j.0954-6820.1986.tb08948.x

Nowadays, the debate about the merits of rest versus activity is again raging. On the one hand those who write about postviral fatigue usually conclude with a statement along the lines of ' physical and mental exertion is to be avoided' (Anon, 1988). In particular, it is stated that exercise may...

Eureka! The Holy Grail has been discovered and after only thirty years. In Liverpool, not Glastonbury. There was always archaeological evidence but who would have thought it would be found under: Acta MED Scan Suppl. 1986;711:179-88. doi: 10.1111/j.0954-6820.1986.tb08948.x. Muscle Fatigue and...

It seems that some people's human rights are more equal than others'.

This is off the top of my head and so needs checking before quoting. She was a leading researcher at the Wistar Institute. Paul Cheney had Bell from Lyndonville send her some samples. She found what she thought was a new retrovirus and that she was eventually able to distinguish cases from...

Perhaps failure to hold one's breadth should be referred to a dietician.

It can't be ME. He hasn't had it six months yet. Somehow it magically transmogrifies on that date.

SMS is very common amongst high-flyers. Selective Memory Syndrome.

How long before they come up with symptoms being perpetuated by personal prior vulnerability? Has no-one told them yet. They should know about these things at John Hopkins.
