@SaveUSAKitty A senile old man was having a rant and Mark Carney was listening quietly

@PabloVidalRibas @dar1_daryl Also driven by excessive number of journals and generation of multiple manuscripts due to an obsession with more is better. Research needs fewer quality articles.

[Gavin Preston, M.D. @GavinPrestonMD]

Patients are not "customers" or "clients."
They are frightened, suffering, vulnerable people.
The word "patient" derives from the Latin meaning "suffering."
They deserve professionals totally committed to their well-being.

@wessex29292 @NormanBrennan @Kerrygold21 How will a metal detector identify a glass bottle?

@FibroBloggers Omega 3 only showed benefit in fibromyalgia in a small trial with 12 subjects in 2010, recent studies have not replicated these findings. Whilst there is benefit from a balanced health diet evidence supporting omega 3 specifically is lacking.

@ClaireHindwell Basic information to you, but perhaps highly relevant to others. Best to always focus on the positives rather than be distracted by the limitations.

@CapitalistFraud @DrPunamKrishan What is your definition of a specific disease?

[Kim Lawson @KimLawson4]

@Jelleespoons The outcomes of research are only communicated when complete not when taking place. So the breadth of active research is not always appreciated. But research has been growing year-on-year for the last 3 decades

[Kim Lawson @KimLawson4]

@Jelleespoons @BBCMorningLive @DrPunamKrishan Whilst more research will always be welcome, current research into fibromyalgia being 'far behind' other conditions is not true.

[Kim Lawson @KimLawson4]

@Jelleespoons @BBCMorningLive @DrPunamKrishan The research has not confirmed fibromyalgia is an autoimmune disease. It is an interesting observation that there are traits similar to autoimmunity but further investigations are required to understand the value.

@fibromyalgiast1 There are not 200+ symptoms, this claim de-values the identity of fibromyalgia. Additional symptoms to the cardinal characteristics of FM suggests additional clinical conditions not a re-definition of FM
