    The process of CBT for CFS: Which changes in perpetuating cognitions and behaviour are related to a reduction in fatigue?, 2013, Knoop et al.

    Copied from ReCOVer: A RCT testing the efficacy of CBT for preventing chronic post-infectious fatigue among patients diagnosed with COVID-19. You are probably much more on the money that I am. My mind initially went to even more cynical assumptions. Goodness knows why they need a less and...

    Detection of Mycotoxins In Patients With CFS (93% Positive), 2013, Brewer et al

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23580077/ I don't know what criteria they used but it seems interesting that such a high percentage tested positive for mould. Question is, is this a cause or an effect?

    Are Reports of Psychological Stress Higher in Occupational Studies? A Systematic Review... (2013) Goodwin, Hotopf, Wessely, etc

    I thought that this was of some interest as it has Wessely seeming to be unusually open about the limitations of questionnaires for assessing symptoms/disorders. Though this time that's seemingly partly because it goes against the 'work is good for you' creed used by the UK government (Waddell &...

    This is an interesting case study (bolding and spacing added); What lies beneath: a case of spontaneous hypoglycaemia or glucose transporter type 1 defect disguised as chronic fatigue? https://www.endocrine-abstracts.org/ea/0031/ea0031p235.htm

    Chronic fatigue self-management in primary care: a randomized trial (2013) Friedberg et al.

    I’ve been reading this 2013 study by Friedberg et al. Chronic fatigue self-management in primary care: a randomized trial. This isn’t a study of ME/CFS, but the paper claims that 39% of the 111 randomized participants did meet diagnostic criteria for CFS (Fukuda-criteria). I don’t think the...

    The Voice of the patient - FDA report ME & CFS 2013

    I found this report from 2013 which I think is pretty good and accurate (I'm only skimmed thro it though). It is more than the title would suggest. It's a shame that it would seem nothing resulted from it...
