    @Sasha @Yann04 You’ve made me reconsider my previous comments. I’m not sure if I should edit out the opinions?

    CFS/ME an ideal facade for Munchausen syndrome by proxy?—“It can be so exhausting just to relax …”, 2025, Melfsen & Lucas (German)

    I don’t have anything more to add here. I’m mostly confused by this paper.. They give no proof for their opinions, and they are very dismissive.

    @Jonathan Edwards «According to information obtained retrospectively and from follow-up treatment providers, the course of the disease showed a further normalization of her psychological and physical development after 6 months, with a BMI-P6 and a complete regression of previous CFS/ME-like...

    CFS/ME an ideal facade for Munchausen syndrome by proxy?—“It can be so exhausting just to relax …”, 2025, Melfsen & Lucas (German)

    Completely agree. That being said, the evaluation didn’t support an ME/CFS diagnosis (according to the paper).

    CFS/ME an ideal facade for Munchausen syndrome by proxy?—“It can be so exhausting just to relax …”, 2025, Melfsen & Lucas (German)

    This part is a bit off, though: Many questions remain unanswered in this case. One of them concerns the validity of the diagnosis CFS/ME: Given its currently low validity, does it lead to its use as mimicry in the context of artificial disorders? I don’t understand why they go after ME/CFS. The...

    @Jonathan Edwards Edit to add: the following paragraph is my interpretation of the authors’ opinion. It seems like she might have been sick from supplements, and Mara «acted» sick because her mother needed her to for her own mental health. @Adrian declining symptoms is a good thing. From the...

    No. We don’t do that with anything today, there’s no reason to believe that it will happen with AI. The only exception is EU’s AI Act. Some do learn over time. There’s a case from Norway where they use AI to create 3D models of organs before surgery. That used to be done manually by doctors...

    Prevalence and demographics of 331 rare diseases and associated COVID-19-related mortality among 58 million individuals, 2025, Thygesen+

    Seeing Huntington on that list doesn’t surprise me. It’s a hereditary neurodegenerative disease that’s often described as a combination of ALS, Parkinson and Alzheimers. Some common causes of death are suicide, complications due to falls and lung damage due to food going down the wrong tube.

    From the article: This research is early and may evolve. But the findings more broadly indicate that right now, simply giving physicians A.I. tools and expecting automatic improvements doesn’t work.

    Active Reprogramming Most people with fatigue and other symptoms have specific situations that trigger their symptoms. This is because our brains learn associations. This happens to all of us and often there is no clear reason why the brain has developed the particular links you are...

    Characterization, Treatment, and Long-term Follow-up of Fatigued Patients in Primary Care (iFAS), Lindsäter et al

    We’re not testing to see if the treatment is effective, we’re building evidence for it. Technically, superiority only means to test if something is better than something else. When you test it against what’s essentially nothing (CAU), using the term superiority is a bit misleading..
