WSJ has published letters on Devine. Paywalled, so can only see the first one. https://www.wsj.com/articles/covids-lasting-effects-deserve-rigorous-study-11616953207

This isn't exactly that, but it's close. I did this for awhile some years back. It was great & felt like 'exercise without inducing PEM' in its way, but of course the problem was...the effect of traveling to & from the office where it was done. So I can't say there was any positive effect...

I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this. I've noticed that paper after paper from the UK & especially Euro BPS tribe looking at "CFS" either uses the Chalder Fatigue Scale as a diagnostic, or they just make something up. Or they use a handy case definition that makes Oxford look...

This hit the web earlier, but it's in Psychological Medicine, not the Lancet. Hmmm...

No, but as she's second from last I'm guessing she just allowed some hack access to her cohort. Which brings up the point of...is it a good idea to refuse access to other 'researchers' when we always hear from the you-know-whos that nobody wants to get into the field? I am not interested in...

The full term seems like a misnomer but it does pop up here and there. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12671155 "...QFS patients were found to have similar patterns of gene expression to patients with idiopathic chronic fatigue syndrome." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20802011...

This is in the Journal of Medical Internet Research. "All adult patients referred for the treatment of CFS could participate if the following criteria were met: (1) a physician had concluded that the patient suffered from severe and disabling fatigue not explained by a known somatic or...

I don't like these people. However, I find it mildly amusing that they couldn't spell the URL properly.

Gee, it's in Stony Brook. How convenient for Fred.

It's all bad.

One issue you may run into is where you say 'not in PEM.' When is that, in the context of a study? I've tried to make this point to several researchers, and some seemed to get it, others not so much. If you have to travel to a site--travel anywhere, even across the street--for a study, you may...

Yeah, okay. Let's not look at this as individual condition, AND let's broaden the criteria.

I don't think it was about treatment either, but that's not the point. His book and its subsequent editions were, so far as I know, the source of what some would refer to as the 'definitive' Ramsay criteria. I'm told it's considered the gold standard so far as the UK is concerned. However, like...
