Seems like they’ve had a seminar: The Coffi Consumer-researcher Online Seminar IIIPost Exertional Malaise - Silje Reme
She get’s PEM kind of right, but claims it’s also present in FM and post-cancer so it doesn’t seem like she understands it properly.

She claims that we experience the «symptoms» we predict we will experience. It doesn’t seem like she’s even understood that in the false hand experiment the participants don’t experience pain when the false hand is stabbed - even though they expect to feel it because they think their hand is being stabbed. Which is effectively disproves her hypothesis.

There’s the usual babble that is presented as «new» or a «paradigm shift» like she said in a recent news article:





The last slide proposes a way to test her hypothesis. We’ve already done that in tens if not hundreds of trials. They have all failed to demonstrate any benefit. So the hypothesis is probably wrong.

But if Reme is anything like Flottorp, she has probably not heard of the null results…
