Just a heads up for those of us who get groceries delivered, book early!, Tesco is currently booked up almost 3 weeks ahead, the earliest slot showing today is April 6th. Also don't forget you can have multiple deliveries booked in advance.

It is a bit odd that she was cured by CBT in 2001 then cured again by LP in 2011 whilst also discovering it was actually Coeliac all along, but now she still has ME.

In the case of ME/CFS I can't think how it could ever be discovered if there is a resistant genotype, we can't look at people who have been exposed to ME/CFS to see if they caught it or not.

The article was pay-walled for me but I found this one on the same topic https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2020-03/ul-bpi030620.php I believe this is the paper published https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-020-0178-9

Are you in a location where a power outage likely to occur ? I thought they were pretty uncommon, only stats I can find suggest that each year about 1/25th of the population are affected for an average outage duration of 50 minutes.

I'm still waiting for them to expand into the automotive business... we've discovered that the people with most unreliable cars are the ones that spend the most time worrying about them, we propose that treating this symptom focusing will make the cars work better.

I didn't recognise the name Hilda Bastian but reading her blog I think I like her :) https://blogs.plos.org/absolutely-maybe/2019/02/08/consumer-contested-evidence-why-the-me-cfs-exercise-dispute-matters-so-much/...

I had a quick look around this website for the Council for Evidence-based Psychiatry, seems their sole mission is to campaign against the use of psychiatric drugs, nowhere though does it say what they think psychiatrists should be doing. They rightfully point out manipulation and burying of drug...

Do we really know that, and if they are related did we rule out the dozens other changes in ones life that adverse childhood experiences might have led to before presuming the causation is psychological ?

I hope Netflix is reading the reviews. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11561206/ratings

:thumbup::thumbup: Contrary to the positive outcomes in the 1990s and 2000s, more recent CBT trials have failed to show consistent benefits in patients with CFS/ME: 5 of 7 RCTs of CBT did not show significant effects... In our data, 4 of 5 RCTs with graded-exercise-related therapies presented...

Yes, out of curiosity a while ago I weighed out a normal sized bowl of breakfast cereal, it was well over double the supposed serving size.

Junk food 'should be labelled with how long you need to exercise to burn it off' Junk food snacks should be labelled with how long you need to exercise to burn it off, a review has found... The physical activity calorie equivalent (PACE) food labelling shows eating 229 calories in a small bar...

How considerate of the current disbelieving professionals to acknowledge the traumatic impact of the previous disbelieving professionals.

Looks like a textbook example of p-hacking, outcomes were negative so they sliced and diced the data until they got it to spit out a significant looking value. Why on earth would it only work for people over 50. Where ?

That is starting to look a bit like a diagnostic criteria, I take the point though that perhaps they would be better named 'diagnostic guidelines' or just 'clinical descriptions' so there isn't the implication that diagnosis is simply checking boxes. I worry about leaving diagnosis to the...
