That sounds appealing, but I'm not sure it really works. It is plausible that someone who is a bit stupid and hysterical has convinced themselves that the minor aches and pains that everyone feels is a sign of major illness, and that they should rest in bed. And then when someone opens the...

Perhaps junior medical training is still ad hoc in places. Over the past year I have watched a whole lot of doctors, almost all young, give my family member neurological exams. And yes, some of them were really bad. They would move their waggling fingers way too quickly to judge visual fields...

It seems as though the majority, or at least a substantial number of the cases he was reporting on there did have long term sequelae. The followup often covers 1 to 2 years after the acute illness. The initiating illness seemed to be mostly an infection with headache, limb pain, varying levels...

I donated a while back. 5 days left, 25% of the target to go. I appreciate David sticking with us all this time, and not transforming from a 'help' to a 'hindrance' in the way that a number of our prominent advocates seem to do. He's been steadfastly useful. :) Here's to another year.

That is interesting reading. Ramsay is very clear though that there is an actual disease though. He talks of emotional lability with some patients having hysterical weeping (by which I think he means uncontrollable weeping out of proportion to any cause), but he is not supporting the idea that...

From the link above: Understanding ME/CFS The call “ME/CFS 2024 - Understanding ME/CFS” invited researchers in Vienna who seek to conduct a cutting-edge research project (15 months max.; max funding per project € 100,000) that aim to advance our understanding of etiopathogenesis, diagnostics...

Yeah, throwing the dice and keeping track of the scores is way too much bother. Instead, people can just say what square they think they are on. And, it's always possible to chop off part of the board. If things are going a bit slow, instead of a target of 100, make it 65.

WHO Press conference 30 October 2020 So, in 30 October, Garner said that he had begun to improve two weeks ago.

I should not have been so definitive; I'm surprised at myself for doing so. Very few things about ME/CFS should be said definitively and I've certainly over-stated things here. It is something I experience and I see it in my son. I can feel PEM come on as my eyelids get puffy. I've seen it in...

There was an interview with Kate Weinberg on New Zealand radio this morning. https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/saturday/audio/2018961495/kate-weinberg-finding-the-funny-side-of-invisible-illness She notes that she is much better but is not fully recovered. The book might be good, but I...

That is one explanation for me being tired and pale in the morning.
