    Care and Support Plan template free to download, Action for ME

    What @bobbler said. Especially this: There certainly is a psycho-social pathology in play here: extreme psychopathophilia.

    Boom and bust, another ME/CFS myth? - ME/CFS Skeptic blog

    It is bizarre just how backwards they have it. After four decades of watching it in action it still takes my breath away. Kinda seems relevant for a condition they have declared a 'fatigue' disorder.

    Guardian article on origins of CBT : I have OCD. Some cognitive behavioral therapy techniques were totally wrong for me, April 2024

    CBT requires the assumption that the therapist has some grand sweeping view of and insight into the entire human condition, a neutral place from which to objectively judge whether any given thought or claim is reasonable or not, without having to properly test it. I have never met anybody who...

    It is not like we have much choice. Our bodies let us know in no uncertain terms. It does.

    Care and Support Plan template free to download, Action for ME

    What patients need is not detailed planning and micro-management. They need the flexibility to adjust their activity pattern as required. Which is pretty much the complete opposite of planning and schedules, etc. Indeed. I had forgotten about that rhetorical sleight of hand from PACE. I agree...

    United Kingdom: London - Royal Free Hospital CFS services

    We do not know the cause of ME/CFS, but our fatigue service can address the factors that cause fatigue symptoms to persist and reduce their impact on everyday life. A slippery game with words there. Sliding casually from we don't know the cause of ME/CFS, into we know the factors perpetuating...

    Another fine piece of work condensing the critical facts into a short readable and punchy form, @ME/CFS Skeptic. Thank you. :thumbup:

    Opinion Post-exertional malaise – A functional brain aberration?, 2024, Wyller

    Does belief in functional brain aberration predict having functional brain aberration?

    ..an innovative multi-component long COVID treatment program based on central sensitization with preliminary patient satisfaction data 2024 Munipalli+

    There is crap. And then there is something like this, which makes the standard crap look and smell good. Maybe that is its purpose.

    The Long Read: Excellent BPS papers

    Naughty @Trish and her selective citing. She 'forgot' these critical papers: . . . . . . . and, of course, the classic seminal study from Wonky, Shyster, and Nothingtoseehere: .

    Who is Simon Wessely?

    It's psych! It's not psych! Too late, Sir Simon Says. This is the drearily predictable fruits of your decades of reckless unrestrained psychopathophilia. From day one you were spreading the psych gospel way too hard, way too early, way ahead of any robust evidence, installing this crap in every...

    The Goldilocks Theory of Managing ME. Requiring, of course, the help of an expensive expert to guide you down the Healthy Path of Moderation. If I could get these 'experts' to understand just one thing it would not be the direct experience of the disease itself, it would be just how...

    'Pacing for people with M.E.' Action for ME booklet - revised and updated January 2020.

    Me too. I think the forum should consider formally requesting AfME that the S4ME reference is either withdrawn, or rewritten to accurately reflect the forum's position on that booklet.

    It is crystal clear that nothing is going to change while those responsible for creating the catastrophe are allowed to remain in charge. Which is apparently what is going to happen. It is just tweaking the marketing, and not even very much. This shit could have been written 2 decades ago, and...

    'for those who choose to increase their activity' They are perpetuating the dishonest, cruel, and gutless psycho-drama morality-play framing. They know what they are doing.

    Sweden: Socialstyrelsen's new national guidelines for "Postcovid and other related conditions and syndromes" including ME/CFS

    The included studies were very different and therefore we judged that it was not meaningful to make comparisons of reported efficacy results, or to assess the reliability of those results WTF? Especially the reliability issue. That is the whole damn problem: not using sufficiently robust...
