Living with Long covid Returning guests; Patrick Ussher and Peter Deen; The myth of primary polydipsia, challenging medical gaslighting with science
In this episode I have returning guests; Patrick Ussher a person living with ME/CFS for the last 6 years, he has a Youtube channel "Understanding ME/CFS" in which he talks about research into ME/CFS and Long Covid in an accessible way. He has written a medical hypothesis on the potential cause of excessive thirst following being misdiagnosed with psychogenic water drinking. I also have Peter Deen, whom is the founder of a start up company Streasure4health, Streasure4Health is developing an objective diagnosis and scalable diagnostic sensor for LongCovid and ME/CFS, which are rooted in their underlying mechanisms. It has developed an innovative approach to clinically map metabolic stress for the first time.
Following on from the last podcast we discuss Patrick's personal journey with ME/CFS, how he had excessive thirst and would drink up to 20 litres of fluid per day. Patrick explains how this led to medical gaslighting following a hospital admission and subsequently his journey to his book "The myth of primary polydipsia" which is free to download, press on the link below for your copy.
Peter subsequently contacted Patrick and they have collaborated since. Listen to this episode of the podcast to find out more, and check out the links below.
