I forgot to answer the question as usual. I think when representing findings like this, there has to be acknowledgement of a tipping point....
In this instance, I can't decide whether the study is trying to suggest that people should be encouraged to exercise more. It might be doing...
Well, he's been spotted prowling outside. Hopefully the locks will hold. I might replace "reprehensible" with "slightly tragic attention-seeking"...
In the absence of a marker, what we mainly lack is an adequate screening tool for PEM. A questionnaire that doesn't lead patients too much,...

I guess it'd be a lot clearer if they weren't present in samples from a control group processed at the same time. Haven't the energy to read the...
I've been asked to do the HADS numerous times, and it's only just struck me that I've always based my responses on the assumption I had the energy...
I'm glad you got to try it, @Shadrach Loom, and I hope it hasn't floored you for too long. Scooters aren't great for pwME, are they. There's...
