    A review of the treatment of functional neurological disorder with intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy, 2022, Russell et al

    Neuroimaging suggests they have pictures that clearly and without wishful interpretation back up their point of view. So presumably the equivalent of an MRI with a frowny/sad/smiley face clearly visible in the brain. Clearly visible to someone who isn't a psychologist or psychiatrist wanting...

    The main disadvantage with air fryers, IMO, is that they dry stuff out. By which I mean that a 1.5Kg bag of frozen chips made 3-4 portions in the air fryer, but the same 1.5Kg of the same type of frozen chips makes 6-8 portions, of the same visual size when cooked, in a deep fat fryer. The...

    Trial of Long Covid treatment - AXA1125 from Axcella Therapeutics, 2021

    Is it tho? It looks to I like research money is being thrown at what 'they' have decided long covid is, in exactly the same way as research money was spent on what 'they' decided ME was - rather than on what patients are experiencing. So we have all the same 'research' as was used to waste...

    BPS attempts at psychologizing Long Covid

    Is it just me or would these people be much more useful standing next to a wall, on a plain, thousands of miles away from other people, and cellphone towers? After all, we can't have remote walls being unsupervised. They might get depressed, jealous, commit criminal acts, or simply wander off...

    The biological challenge of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome: a solvable problem (2016), Edwards, JC et al

    Is there any political will to train perceptive physicians tho? Given they seem to have spent decades trying to remove freedom of thought and options from medical systems. As most don't seem to be able to percept their way out a ripped wet paper bag unless they have instructions in flow chart...

    UK company Neuro ProActive

    It appears to simply be a web/app based connection thing. Exactly the same idea as uber, justeat or a host of other services. And in the same way take a cut without guaranteeing your food, or ride will be any good, meet your hopes/expectations. The fact it's 'medical' makes no odds, as they...

    Using PCs versus laptops when you're mostly in or on your bed

    My computer is in the cubby on the left - it's an intel i5 with 16gb of ram currently fitted. The system only has a 500gb SSD fitted as most of my storage is on my network (currently in a cubby on the other side of room). The computer is liquid cooled so is virtually silent apart from at power...

    Leg tensing up only at night

    Perfectly 'normal' for me. Only I can get it in both legs. Sign that I should really have gone to bed several eons before, usually a sign that general activity has been overdone.

    Best chopping tool/food prep gadget?

    I mainly use a sabatier mid sized knife, one of a set of 3 but the other 2 don't get used, bought, probably from argos, in the late 80s. I have other knives, supposedly higher quality, but they tend to stay in the knife block. General purpose knife, is what I generally use, for most purposes.

    Best chopping tool/food prep gadget?

    I use pre chopped frozen veg quite a bit, onions, mushrooms, squash, and quite a bit of my plated (i.e. not in stews or other cooked things) veg is also from frozen. Unless in a mix I do not use frozen carrots or cabbage, as they do things to 'em in freezing, or use varieties that are not to my...

    Best chopping tool/food prep gadget?

    I would have thought that an air fryer would struggle to produce baked potatoes, at least the type that I have/had (mines old and falling apart and has been replaced by a more conventional oil based fryer, as it's no longer made) (selected coz it rotates at an angle and agitates the contents...

    Lightning Process study in Norway - Given Ethics Approval February 2022

    Surely a treatment designed to be of benefit to society, rather than of benefit to patients......is a concern.

    Implementation statement in support of ME/CFS diagnosis and management, NICE, draft published for consultation

    I agree in terms of services re treatment. However the guideline, according to my memory, had a whole host of things about other services, of us getting parity with other conditions, things like getting appropriate social, acre, and financial support. Implying that the current discrimination...

    Lightning Process study in Norway - Given Ethics Approval February 2022

    That's certainly how I read it, and I don't read Norwegian.

    Low blood lactate

    And if it's impossible to avoid intense activity coz sometimes I need to get a drink.......or use the bathroom..... Of course opening the curtains is right up there, requiring leaning bent over on things to recover enough to sit/lie down.... My point us...intense activity is relative.

    Long Covid in the media and social media 2022

    I would infer from that that they think all the media psych people are either liars or idiots, as thos 'experts' won't shut up and are saying the exact opposite.

    Glossy tiles in bathroom

    I can't comment much, only an observation or two. Glossy tiles should be easier to clean, my understanding is that this is why they are used in kitchens and bathrooms. I have never seen matt tiles in such an environment so I cannot say if they would work. The tiles in my kitchen and bathroom...

    I'm curious about lab testing for viruses (not COVID) Is this common where you live? If so, when did it happen?

    The 'thing' that marks my onset is marked in my medical notes as; 22 april 1987 non arthropod borne viral disease of cns nos (xe0r8) viral encephalitis. It was 'bad'. I was not told (I didn't find this out until I got my notes a year or 2 ago - but I remembered the illness and have always...
