I certainly agree that if a clinic does anything useful that affects the person's health in a positive way, it is educating them about PEM, and I mean specifically the delayed significant increase in symptoms and reduction in function that lasts more than a day, not 'symptoms after exertion'...
I don't think recording the dates and severity of episodes of PEM would count as a PROM of the sort we are used to where questionnaires are filled in at single time points based on recall over the last month or whatever time period specified.
Does a daily diary/app record of activity, symptoms...
Getting back to the topic of this thread, has anyone had their two weeks later invitation to fill in the activities questionnaire again? I haven't and I'm sure it's more than 2 weeks.

Not a good advertisement for rehab.
They should have been able to work out whether the ones who had rehab were improved or worse after rehab, and whether their status before rehab was worse than those who didn't undergo rehab. In other words, surely it's not good enought to just dismiss this...
Some of us in our 70's have fitbits and smartphones too.

Oh dear. This is dreadful. It would indeed be interesting to know who is behind it. Given some people like Parker and Landmark seek to legitamise their quackery with academic qualifications and laughably poor quality research, I'm guessing it could be Agle herself or someone whose treatment she...
It's good that the point about cumulative effect is raised, and the question of how we decide between the options in FUNCAP.
My idea on this thread is that we compare
which of these most successfully captures the experience of our functional limitations, including the slow recovery and...
That's interesting and worth saying. I also don't do lots of the things on the list because of pacing, but to me that means I should rate them as having a serious impact.
I do get the bit about cumulative activity. Everything contributes to cumulative effects, so the scoring can only ever be...
