SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION, at CFS Central
PatientsLikeMe is doing a study on "illness perceptions" and ME/CFS; in other words, how one's "perceptions" cause the illness. Eleven hundred patients are participating in this study conducted by New Zealand scientist Dr. Keith Petrie.
Petrie believes ME/CFS is psychological and has done several studies with Dr. Simon Wessely.
The director of research and development at PatientsLikeMe is Dr. Paul Wicks, who trained at King's College, where Dr. Simon Wessely works. In addition, Wicks has been affiliated with psychological proponents of ME/CFS.
Patients can withdraw from the PatientsLikeMe study at any time. If enough withdraw, the study dies.
The CFS Central post details how to withdraw and how to let other PatientsLikeMe participants know what the study is all about.
