This would be the exact opposite of how it's used, and I absolutely agree it would be useful. Clearly most health care professionals think it works both ways, but that's part of the propaganda. What you're referring to probably falls more in disability studies, but that's not even part of...

It, is? No, I don't think so.

Eh. I don't care for the first part, it's the worst case scenario in almost every aspect, and if someone becomes a trillionaire by curing this I wouldn't even mind other than generically believing that billionaires shouldn't even exist at all, but that's a different issue. Actually, pills is...

The $2T price tag, blamed on lost learning, seems entirely fanciful to me. Especially as it's placed alongside other measures that were always available yet not competently rolled out anywhere, so most of this seems imaginary to me: None of the alternatives listed are free, and they were not...

It frankly seems like this is usually the case.

The immunity debt will be paid any time now. Well, it won't, but somehow people stopped talking about it. It was always total BS, and the fact that total BS has dominated almost all discussion of this topic for years, mostly coming from experts, will never be talked about. I'm not sure if we...

This is a sub-problem. The problem is upstream from this. This instance of the problem can't be solved without solving its root cause: no one is being properly diagnosed or treated. The very best out there is sub-par, far below professional standards, arbitrary and chaotic. This is the root...

Oh I definitely mean this when healthy, where there is no pathological reaction to exertion. And so do they, hence why so many professionals are utterly confused. And why pwME are confused in turn, because we are simply not talking about the same thing, even though they overlap. I don't think...

All of which completely debunks the long-standing lie about this opposition coming from a "small vocal minority" of unhinged activists, or whatever, but it's not as if facts matter here. Even psychosomatic literature is filled with acknowledgement that this is simply false, that most patients...

And especially ironic that pretty much all patient advocacy had vanished from the platform at the time they did their study. Even more ironic they mention how two of the researchers themselves use twitter, and they're not even aware of that. Or ignore it because it's convenient for their...

It's become mostly a minority problem, most articles at least mention it, but it's something to write a long form article this late into this problem and make zero mention of ME/CFS and the long history of denial and discrimination. Probably something to do with the author being a physician...

How is anyone taking this nonsense seriously? Where do they even come up with this stuff? She seems to be following the typical influencer path of saying more outrageous things because this is how you get as much coverage as she does. She got a lot of headlines this year and it's all because she...

Simply amazing that they can read this about themselves and think nothing of it. They can't possibly not understand that they are the source of this, that they are the conflict, but here they are, still trying the same thing that has failed for over a century, the same way, with the same intent...

I have no idea why physicians who can barely do medicine think they can do social media analysis. This is not a serious analysis, it's people with a bad harmful idea who can't face reality and try to make themselves think better about themselves. They don't even understand the concepts...

Which often frankly disturbs me because post-exercise fatigue is pleasant. It's not just one of the reasons why a lot of people regularly exercise, it's also encouraged based on this: you feel better after it, when you have a healthy body. Yes, for the long-term overall benefits, but to most...

They want to improve things by doing the same things that have failed miserably for decades, yet again totally exposed as a sham with Long Covid, the same way for the same reasons expecting the same imaginary outcomes that have never materialized. Might as well bash my head on a brick wall and...

Uh huh. Must have missed all this progress. Literally haven't seen a single bit of it. First thing they mention is how there is 'now' a formal definition, which is something that is repeated almost every time it's brought up, how the lack of a formal definition, which means pathological...

I'm assuming they mean something more like wincing in pain and discomfort. You can be in pain and discomfort, by definition, but you are not allowed to show it. Or you are allowed, as long as it's expected, and just the right way, at the right time, for the right reasons that allow the fact to...

Do they just not bother reading what they write? First of all, conversion disorder is not a disease, and second, it literally allows for any and all symptoms in any sequence or form for any reason whatsoever, and so by definition literally always overlaps with everything. This is a totally...

Sure, Jan. :facepalm: But, really, why are you lying? They know the first sentence I quoted is false. They even show they know it's false, but pretending is part of the con.
