#73This is a very unfortunate story, and it's also very unfortunate that the author hasn't been helped by medical science. The author's subjective suffering should not be up for debate. Idiopathic pain and fatigue disorders are impossibly frustrating to diagnose and treat, and have a tremendous negative impact in a person's quality of life. That said, this post has many hallmarks of pseudoscience, and I'm afraid that th…
As someone who also suffers chronic health issues with no full relief (yet) from the mainstream/alternative/mental health fields, I would like to just toss out this out for the original poster. You should really look deeply into your diet and do a lot of research. This site: http://selfhacked.com/ is the first I've come across that has begun to enable progress for me. For example, I found out about longvida curcumin…

(disclaimer: I don't know if this corresponds to what the author has been doing, it's based on my own personal experience and by now ~15y struggles with something similar--thankfully minus the pain he describes)
The thing is, if you've had nine years of battling these symptoms (that are mysterious and won't go away), you've had time to have go at all of the approaches you name. Try them one by one, in combination, note what seems to work, psychological/mental, physiological, dietary, environmental, natural, pseudo-scientific, alternative, magical, religious, (quasi) pseudo-religious ... you name it. You become an expert at yourself, but that's super hard because you are most biased at this topic (step one: keep a diary). Obviously there will also be placebo effects (which I hope we all agree do have tangible medical effects), and sometimes the pseudoscientific-treatment-that-doesn't-work will have better placebo effects than the medical/scientific-treatment-that-doesn't-work. Either way, as long as you keep moving, keep fighting, and keep a clear head about it, you'll keep learning, even from the things that are on the surface bullshit (and sometimes you just need a break and try something that couldn't possibly work).
I too hope that indeed this person is not stuck in a cycle of pre-occupation with one particular thing, but he is just describing his most current working-theory in the continuous string of attempts.

I like that you're debunking Psychology for what it is, but if you still think Economics is a science, you're not quite there yet. For something to be a science it needs to make falsifiable claims. Nothing in Keynesian economics is falsifiable, and in fact following the news and watching them pulling excuses out of their hats is an endless source of entertainment to me.
I agree with you that the hallmark of what is "scientific" is "falsifiable claims through inductive reasoning." But if this is the case, then economics and sociology are both pseudosciences; they're wrongly called "social sciences" though they are not falsifiable!
That's right, we're in agreement there.
As an Austrian economist I consider economics to be purely an a priori deductive process.
However, positivism pushes people to make a science out of everything. So most people, even here at HN, want to believe economics is a hard science, and that you can use mathematical formulas to know in the future how many people will be out of a job.
At the very least, it's funny watching otherwise atheists struggling to justify the deeds of their Earthly gods.

Really? Sickening? There are any number of candidates available that won't require special consideration to manage a disease, so why should someone solely take on the charity burden of giving this fellow a job?
No charity is required. Infact it is profitable to hire this guy. What is required is getting rid of pointless constraints. Part time? You get a talented developer for 30 hours a week, paying the same hourly rate as everyone else. Working from home? Depending on the role he may be even more productive than those in the office. I have just two more words to say about it: 37 Signals.

Pointless constraints like being a reliable employee?
> Part time? You get a talented developer for 30 hours a week, paying the same hourly rate as everyone else.
Why would you want a part time engineer if you can have an (at least!) equally talented full time engineer?
> Working from home? Depending on the role he may be even more productive than those in the office.
If you want an employee that can work from home, there are plenty of them that won't be sick half the time.

What does 37 Signals have to do with anything? There's nothing to indicate that cargo culting a small aspect of their company's working model has anything to do with creating a similar outcome.

Who said he is unreliable? Maybe he is, in which case that is a different matter.
I find that 'work from home' jobs tend to pay less and therein lies the balance. The advantage to the employer is to pay less for the employee and save on office space. The advantage to the employee is obviously the flexibility that gives them and not needing to commute.
30 hours is part time but it isn't like asking for 10 hours a week. It is almost full time (40hours). I hear a lot on HN and other places online about American companies requiring lots of hours of their developers even though they are supposed to work 40hours. So that could be the difference we are seeing. In Europe/Australia this is not expected generally, except in certain industries like Finance.
37 signals are successful despite letting people work from home. I had a previous employer who isn't famous or anything but had many developers work from other countries with time zone challenges. It can be done.
In a pure, zero-charity, capitalist world there should still be jobs for people with diseases like this who can work. They have something to offer and the market will meet a fair price on it. It may be a lower price than a fit person, but there could still be a beneficial situation to both the employer and the employee.
Re: Yeah, I'm sick. Read all about it
#78It sounds like you actually have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - everything you say is very typical of CFS. I actually suffered from CFS myself, but have now fully recovered - I run my own business, and I'm a private pilot as well. CFS is very treatable and you can recover from it. Unfortunately there is a lot of BS and quackery out there, making it difficult for patients to get the right information. Feel free to email m…
