    BPS attempts at psychologizing Long Covid

    Given that these people are preying on others during, and using, a global health crisis IMO, and that their misinformation is a direct and present danger, not just to those who fall for their marketing, but to everyone they come into contact with, they should be shut down and locked up...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    My understanding is that whilst they may be 'oversubscribed' that this is simply because they shut almost all of them when it emerged that many people didn't want them and wouldn't use them, at least past the first couple of visits. The remaining ones, e.g. my local one, is in the middle of...

    Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for chronic fatigue and CFS: outcomes from a specialist clinic in the UK (2020) Adamson, Wessely, Chalder

    I would imagine that the easiest way to get a 90% satisfaction result would be to start at 100% and deduct those who specifically, on the correct form, filled out perfectly, in black fountain pen, not blue biro, stated that they were dissatisfied/unhappy. That way non of the pesky drop outs are...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    Irrelevant to my point/question. Children seemingly contain many more viirons than adults (who it is suggested they infect at roughly double the rate adults do). They typically show no symptoms, no obvious evidence of immune activation, which probably explains the above. What stops the...

    If children emit 10-100 times the virrons that adults do; https://www.forbes.com/sites/williamhaseltine/2020/07/31/new-evidence-suggests-young-children-spread-covid-19-more-efficiently-than-adults/#17b5bd8819fd then there is no way that they don't transmit it - as far as I can see. It is...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    The whole children and covid thing puzzles me. It appears that most children do not exhibit many, if any, symptoms (to the extent where it was thought they didn't catch it). Suggesting that most of the symptoms are caused by our own immune system and those in children are not reacting to it...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    Unless some radical and undenyable conceptual breakthrough occurs then I would suspect yes. Just with many more unwilling 'friends'. Problem is all the same people, power structures, and vested interests are still in place, and they control the direction things move in, and the end goal...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    Not as written or in conception no. Mikaela Olsen appears to have no lived understanding of what ME is and is therefore making false comparisons. My symptoms can vary in type, number and severity, in an instant. After all this time I have still no more than a broad idea, more often an...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    I find it 'odd' that pwME have gone from being at best a deluded and possibly deranged joke, through 'waste of resources and/or potential radical activist assassins' to 'suffering from a serious medical condition'. Simply because something has happened to a few other people, pwME's health...

    Sleeping in hot weather

    Has anyone tried not counting scary things. Like sheep, or sharks, or shellfish. It is vitally important not to count them, simply be aware of them, and where they are, in as little detail as possible. This is both cognitively exhausting, eventually your brain goes and does something else...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    I have no idea as to whether long covid will equate, in some cases, to ME. It seems likely, as the time rolls on another few months, that some will meet the diagnostic criteria, and therefore, in the absence of another explanation, be deemed to have ME, or at least ME as any of of us have. To...

    More of the same, from the same. When are they going to stop beating their partners, show some truly innovative thought, really dig deep, to try and further understanding of this 'complex' condition, and use sock colour as a primary outcome measure?

    Accurate and Objective Determination of ME/CFS Disease Severity with a Wearable Sensor. Palombo et al. 2020

    I rarely, very rarely, as in almost never, sit with my feet on the floor. They tend to only hit the floor when I am am about to make an attempt to stand, or when I am doing something that requires me to stand. So, yes, I agree, other measures are needed to gauge severity level, and as I was...

    Accurate and Objective Determination of ME/CFS Disease Severity with a Wearable Sensor. Palombo et al. 2020

    If my maths is right then I probably spend, on average, less than an hour with my feet flat on the floor (by which I mean standing upright, moving around etc.) - as there are often 24 hours in a day that would equate to under 5%. Of course it could be made more complicated by working it out...

    Protocol ReCOVer: A RCT testing the efficacy of CBT for preventing chronic post-infectious fatigue among patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

    Think is, if people actually manage to do as told, to ignore their symptoms and carry on, then there will be no need for any medical services ever again, apart from undertakers, who aren't typically regarded as part of the 'health' services. People only go to doctors because of symptoms, if...

    Sensations of fizzing or buzzing, or paraesthesia in limbs

    For me it's not, or not exclusively. One of my earliest memories is of it, I must have been 2-3 years old. It made an impression ;)

    Protocol ReCOVer: A RCT testing the efficacy of CBT for preventing chronic post-infectious fatigue among patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

    Tired old response but; What 'evidence' is referred to in the phrase 'Cognitive Behavioural Therapy [CBT], an evidence-based treatment for chronic fatigue'?

    United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust is looking to employ a Spiritual Healer / Reiki Therapist Aug 2020

    So if I was to apply, and get the position, would I get bonuses for not turning up and therefore diluting my 'treatments' to make them much more effective, in line with homeopathic thinking?

    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    Do I need to fill in a form to state non compliance? As not being allowed to use restaurants, sports venues, or travel, sounds like it matches my lifestyle pretty much perfectly. Tailor made for excuses for people who don't want to waste resources to do things others want them to, but keep...
