My fave is when they call it "pacing up" your activity 😭

I'd name and shame, but quite clearly none of us would recognize literally any of these people, because they don't recognize us :)

Still, I recommend clicking on the protocol itself and branding those names into your brain. And when you do, if any of them reach out to you, let them know what's up.

Those who designed the protocol are also unfamiliar with PEM, though they claim to measure it. They seem to believe you can spot PEM by asking subjective effort questions during activity, despite the fact that PEM symptoms have a characteristic, often 24hr delay between trigger and onset.

In a real study with "Zelen design", researchers obtain informed consent from subjects after ✨randomization✨.

However, in THIS study, they're only obtaining informed consent after ✨the study is complete✨. They have the audacity to call this a "modified" Zelen design.

It drives me spare that they keep marketing to immune deficient patients to push our loved ones to donate “for us” while refusing to provide a safe way for them to do so, thus putting the patients their supposedly protecting at risk…

Exactly, women should be told: along with useful information & guidance/pathway.

Thanks An, I’m sure it will be fine. Well, I’m not especially anxious.

I’m well aware things can go wrong and often do for me. But I’m more worried by Mr.Cough than the procedure

Oh my. Hoping the pause is worthwhile!
