Tom Molmans, MD @molbaas.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Ironic to see a response saying these hypotheses and findings are 'easily understated', as the literature has been riddled with similar, overrepresented and overgeneralized FND rhetoric for decades, more so when based on a single, and not very convincing, HBOT study.

Tom Molmans, MD @molbaas.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Seems like someone got lured into amplifying proponents' Calimerotactic of crying 'stigma', - when decades of 'research' still haven't produced a decent mechanistic rationale, let alone evidence - instead of looking at the bigger historical picture. @AlanLevinovitz A 🧵 1-25 283
Tom Molmans, MD @molbaas.bsky.social · 23/04/2026As we replied to the same authors with this commentary last week, patients are more than validly fed up with this level of amateurism, which is hidden under a veil of good intentions and superficial termimology, and is supported by conservative medical and monetary interests. Time for change. 140

Tom Molmans, MD @molbaas.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Another gem @theguardian.com The ever marginalized @paulgarnerwoof.bsky.social is (again) given a podium to conflate (his own) primary psych disorders with LC.

Reposted by Tom Molmans, MDGeorge Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 29/01/2025This is deeply shocking and disturbing, the opposite of scientific good practice. As I see it, a group of diehards promoting a discredited treatment (exercise "therapy" for ME/CFS patients) are seeking to stifle medical progress - to protect their reputations. And Cochrane has kowtowed to them. 🧵 20464174

Reposted by Tom Molmans, MDTodd Davenport @sunsopeningband.bsky.social · 16/12/2024Cochrane’s decision to not update the erroneous 2017 exercise in ME/CFS systematic review is here, citing inadequate resources and insufficient new research. Of course, how you find and grade the research without finding and grading it seems very un-Cochrane to me. www.cochrane.org/news/update-...cochrane.orgUpdate on ‘Exercise therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome’ 712235
Reposted by Tom Molmans, MDTodd Davenport @sunsopeningband.bsky.social · 28/11/2024That MID calculation for CIS seems dubious at best. They averaged a literature value with a calculated one based on data from a study that was not designed to give an MID. Big surprise that averaging them really brought down the threshold MID in the meta-analysis so they could say it was achieved. 5328
Reposted by Tom Molmans, MDTodd Davenport @sunsopeningband.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Maybe why exercise isn't a panacea for dysautonomia is because of unrecognized PEM/PENE in that population. And the reason some people with apparent PEM/PENE respond exercise is because it's working on some level for dysautonomia--but potentially at the expense of the rest of the clinical picture. 47610
