- Not sure we need word ‘may’- the rate of diagnostic increase is biologically implausible and speaks to diagnostic practice- probably previously under disgnosed now considerably over diagnosed

- It is slightly disappointing the tendancy in psychanalysis to a ‘creationist’ approach with all ideas starting with Freud but the basic principles of object relations theory has so much to offer to all medicsl encounter not just FND

- Reposted by Alan CarsonDo you have #ADHD or #autism? We're running a short, anonymous survey on interoception. It takes just 15–20 minutes, and your input would mean a lot. 👉 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Survival in top wealth quartiles, Europe, higher than wealthiest Americans. Survival in wealthiest U.S. quartile similar to that in poorest quartile in Europe.
- academic.oup.com/brain/advanc.... I have to confess to not being persuaded- comes down to how specific you believe these investigations to be. Clinicslly such cases look much more nociplastic to me
- New drug for lower back pain could be ‘a gamechanger’. My money is on Dr Ellis’s comments
- Thousands have sought second opinion after NHS hospitals adopted Martha’s rule, MPs hear- it woukd be good to see some hard data on efficacy of this- how often did it really change management and if it did, did that alter long term outcome. I ve no preconceptions but would benefit from proper study
- Reposted by Alan CarsonThe UK would now want to rejoin the EU by 55% to 33% Removing those that don’t know - that’s a 62.5% to 37.5% breakdown.

- neurologyopen.bmj.com/content/7/1/... Very pleased to see this diagnostic aid for Functional cognitive disorders out. It needs further testing but i m feeling optimistic given the cumulative wisdom of the clinicians who kindly provided input into the development
- Interesting conceptually but i wonder if in cases of functional tremor if the tremor is in fact the core treatment target- it s often absent with distraction anyway

- www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... Can we predict which FND patients respond to treatment? Not really- my take- best to offer everyone a chance rather than make false assumptions
- ‘Strong reasonable doubt’ over Lucy Letby insulin convictions, experts say. Can’t help feeling it is unwise for potential expert witnesses to be doing media briefings in this way. These are arguments to be aired in court
