    Covid-19 vaccination experiences

    Ugh. Not feeling that great about having to get a vaccine update soon. I'll still do it, as some recent life changes mean I won't be able to remain clear of COVID, certainly not this winter, but this is really a lesser of two evils thing. Truly maddening that this is all because of...

    News from Aotearoa/New Zealand and the Pacific Islands

    Unfortunately, this is also actual medical advice you can get from MDs behind their desk in an actual clinic or hospital. And that is the most terrifying thing about it. It's as if geologists were going on about hollow Earth in their normal every day work, integrating it as part of it. Not in...

    News from Aotearoa/New Zealand and the Pacific Islands

    The whole framing about the solution being so damn simple, requiring no skills at all, all you have to do is to be open-minded, to not be such a downer ruminating about that illness-so-severe-it-left-you-bedbound-for-days that didn't even happen, since most cases stem from mild illnesses anyway...

    Opinion Lessons from a Neurologist After 25 Years of Functional Neurological Disorder Subspeciality Practice 2023 Stone

    These quacks sure do love to invent fake origin stories. Conversion disorder was invented by Freud and has been part of neurology since. It wasn't called FND, but that's about the only difference you could find with what fellow quack neurologists from a century were pushing. It's not even hard...

    Long Covid in the media and social media 2023

    Comes from this, at about 33 minutes: They are just completely lost and incapable of asking for directions. They can't even assess what they do properly. I never could have imagined that things were so bad, even with everything we knew of.

    Petition: S4ME 2023 - Cochrane: Withdraw the harmful 2019 Exercise therapy for CFS review

    "Unplanned". Yeah this is the right word. We literally didn't know there was a "hiatus". Unplanned means it happens without warning, not that there is no communication whatsoever about it. Not even a word as to when this "hiatus" even began, how long it lasted, or any information. And it took...

    The course of self-perceived cognitive functioning among patients with lymphoma and the co-occurrence with fatigue and psychological distress

    Usually the case when you don't have any after having denied this issue for... ever. Even though: 15% Really? That's catastrophic. You're supposed to do the work if you want results. Don't do the work? No results. Do the work? Eventually you get results. They didn't do the work. Still aren't...

    Replication games: how to make reproducibility research more systematic, 2023, Brodeur et al

    Yeah that's been one of the biggest factors why things are so messed up in evidence-based medicine. Sharpe actually replied once to someone criticizing the many flaws in PACE that they should just run their own multimillion dollar trial that takes 10 years to complete. What a ridiculous troll...

    The relationship between self-reported chronic stress, physiological stress axis dysregulation and medically-unexplained symptoms 2023 Schulz et al

    They're presenting their hypothesis as highlights? I mean yeah, sure, someone is bound to try that but I guess the journals have just given up bothering to do their job? Just the same old correlations that work best as consequences presented as causes just because they prefer that. But the...
