Sort of! Though it could just be someone who for whatever reason needs ultra-flexible work and not too much of it. I used to have help with...
Maybe just a lesser evils argument, in extremis? No pilot wants to land a plane on a road, but if the engines are gone and the only other option...
That's interesting. Have you found it all right with doctors? I mostly tend to talk about PEM as a consequence, rather than a cause or a separate...
If they're anything like the local schools built under it, their useful lifespan isn't much longer than the rental contract. We'll soon be back to...
The autism passport might be a useful starting point for some pwME/CFS. It lists some of the things we might want to draw attention to—specially...
Indeed! There are people who experienced what used to be called PVFS (aka the long tail of some acute illnesses), then went on to be diagnosed...
The tendency in the UK now, specially with glandular fever/mono, seems to be to regard this as part of the normal course of the original illness....
Bear in mind I inherited my terminology and understanding of its meaning from people born in the 1920s. I've no medical training, and meanings...

Yep. But also, people with experience of living with ME/CFS have a very good idea of what exertion is too much—what will leave them with the...
I'd like to ask something about research into findings like this. Given that real-life PEM is almost never triggered by pedalling a bike and...
I'm pretty sure we played it on recorder at junior school, only with piano and shaky eggs.
I don't understand why, but alcohol ingestion is a trigger for paralytic episodes in genetic hypokalaemic periodic paralysis. Not directly...
It seems to me the article is trying to draw a useful line in the sand between the history and now, but also call bullshit on the pretence that we...
That would help but the biases may remain, such as differences in the response to men's and women's pain, and to white women's and black women's pain.
Interesting one, isn't it? Maybe we should dig further into how it presents in those that have it. A few conversations suggest my experience...
The doctor sounded like a blokey chef talking tasty winter stews. We could really do without help like that.
Really interesting read, thank you! First thoughts: This seems to me so important that I'd put it in its own paragraph. Possibly even starting...
Separate names with a comma.
