And did they test for deconditioning, or just assume it, as it tradition for psychosomatic studies?

No repeat test?

Yeah, who exactly is all this mood enhancement supposed to benefit?

Love how they are trying to frame this as a new idea, when it is exactly the same basic idea (disrupted interoception) the BPS club have been flogging for decades about ME/CFS, with the FND club getting in on the act more recently. In other words, they have no solid empirical basis for it, so...

Previous studies often reported about the role of post-exertional malaise (PEM) as a characteristic symptom of CFS patients in comparison with healthy persons. It is possible however that the time period that we took into account to study post-exercise symptomatology, was too limited. We...

Even if you just care about money, it is really a very worthy investment. This. Even from the most cynical callous selfish 'economic efficiency' point of view this still needs to be fixed. Just dumping ever more people on the scrap heap, and worse, is never the answer to any health issue. What...

I occasionally get lateralised visual disturbances, usually accompanied by a mild lateralised headache, that have been diagnosed by a neurologist as a form of migraine (I though I was having micro-strokes, or some low level form of brain hypoxia). Been happening for decades. It is usually not...

Many elderly people were administered morphine instead of oxygen despite available supplies, effectively ending their lives. o_O

It is now quite clear that their strategy is to simply keep forcing us to endlessly re-litigate their bogus claims, knowing full well how limited our capacity is to keep doing it. Along with smearing us at every opportunity along the way.

What utter shit. :grumpy: How to say they don't know anything, without actually saying it. That is exactly what we are to the psychosomatic cult, and have been from day one. Cannon fodder for their grab for power.

Anybody claiming to have any expertise or interest in this area can no longer claim they do not know the real situation. The evidence is stark and overwhelming. What people like Wüst are struggling with is facing up to just how bad that situation is for patients, how medicine has so...

They have, quite deliberately and systematically, created a model that is unfalsifiable, where they can never be wrong, only the patient can be wrong. It is never their fault, apart from some tiny concession about not explaining marketing it properly to the patient. They know exactly what they...

FFS, those two statements are completely incompatible. The BPS club have always defined post-COVID-19 fatigue (Long Covid, ME, etc) as a pathological post-onset psycho-behavioural response, independent of the specific initial onset process/trigger. And they have always claimed that the...

:speechless:

Feel free to show us how it is done...

It is deliberate obfuscation. One of their oldest and most persistent and effective tactics.

There it is. When they say 'biopsychosocial' they mean psychogenic.

And our next contestant on Mastermind for the Bleeding Obvious is...

She herself researches the condition from a biopsychosocial perspective, with the focus that there can be both biological, psychological and social processes involved in a complex interaction that perpetuates the symptoms. Oh there is certainly some seriously pathological post-onset...
