Fatigue and psychosocial variables in autoimmune rheumatic disease and CFS

[Dr Speedy]

Trudie's concept is pretty simple she sees it as a catastrophe if she loses her power hence she comes up with the most utter nonsense to ridicule severely ill patients to prevent that ...

It is all part of this broader phenomena sweeping our world of late. If you don't like reality, just make up your own.

I would had that the things they measure like "catastrophising" are dependent on their own definition and understanding of what's happening.

If I remember correctly, on the "catastrophising" scales, there are things like, "if I do too much, I'm going to feel worst" which is catastrophising only in a world where PEM is a figment of the sufferers' mind....

Certain events are catastrophes. It's only catastrophising if you over-react to a non-catastrophe.
