Dear healthcare workers You ain't the victims here. Stop your whining, and get on with facing up to and fixing the problem that is entirely of your making. The sooner you do that, the sooner the pain goes away for you. And for us. Yours etc Very long-term patient with completely trashed life...

Those opposed to reform still hold the reins.

Abstract Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and multiple sclerosis (MS) share similarities regarding their epidemiology, symptomatology and craniospinal physiology. Indeed, the cardinal feature of CFS, fatigue, Stopped there.

He did co-sign the pile of steaming dung that is the Anomalies paper not too long ago, and I have no doubt that there is a formal record of his current views on ME, as an NHS commissioner and general medical adviser bigwig, on the government files, which will become public one day. He is more...

"I have never had such a huge response to any hour that i've done... there is a big story here and there is an investigation that needs to happen." As I have been saying for years, there is a hell of a story here alright, one of the biggest in recent history. Just not the one the mainstream...

Me too. Unfortunately the patient community made it very clear at the time it was proposed that they strongly preferred ME. So here we are. :grumpy:

The best way to clear muddied waters is to simply stop stirring them up.

As to the name, ME/CFS is the least worst option on the table for now.

If not after all that, then what is it going to take? Is entrenched medical bigotry really going to win? Won't happen. There is no world in which Wessely will voluntarily give up being the centre of power and attention, and slip quietly into obscurity. It is simply not in his nature. He will be...

This. Psychosomatics, at least in its current form, has become a clear and present danger to all patients, and the entire health system. I wish I could get the rest of the health system to understand how much damage this crap is doing to their capacity to diagnose and treat promptly and...

And they think we are the ones suffering from culturally generated perceptive disorders? They are lack of self-awareness personified.

It is important to protect oneself against blocked chimneys.

It is clear that a large chunk of the medical profession don't have a freaking clue about how much this FND lark is going to cost their reputations when the shit inevitably hits the fan.

Structural brain MRI features of patients with mixed FND were distinguishable from both healthy and psychiatric control participants, with subtype analyses showing high specificity (0.83) in accurately classifying individuals with functional motor disorder versus healthy controls. Again, if it...
