Let's hope other health insurers pay attention to this, and that at least the financial incentive the PACE appologists have from advising the insurance industry is removed.

I am having problems accessing this, just getting an error message. The problem seems to be with the Nature site, as I can find the link to the article in their own search facility, but when clicking on their own link I still get an error message. I will try to notify them.

It is worth doing a general search on charity CEO salaries. Here are some articles discussing CEO salaries: https://www.thirdsector.co.uk/charity-pay-study-2017-highest-earners/special-report/article/1427306...

I am in a similar position, and was advised several years ago that long term buying back the years of pension contributions was a good investment. Thank you for this information, this has been on my look into list for several years, so I guess it needs to go to the very top of the list.

I have never got my head around the various seemingly unconnected suggestions of links between ME and cranio-spinal anomalies: problems with the joint between the spine and the skull impacting on the brain stem, hyper mobility perhaps impacting on the same joint, leakage of cerebrospinal fluid...

Interesting as a mini poll, but difficult to assess what constitutes mild, moderate and severe cognitive dysfunction without some guidance as to what is intended.

Trying to identify the schools involved from the article is likely to be problematic. Geographically all we can say is that the schools are within the catchment of the Bath CFS/ME service that covers a number of LEAs (Local Edcation Authorities). The most immediate is Bath and NE Somerset...

There does not seem to be any indication of which schools/Local Education Authority were involved other than they are likely to have been in the catchment area for the Bath CFS Service, one of the schools was an all girls state school and a Larry Cunningham was involved in liaising with the...

Some ill informed thoughts: It seems that there are a number of distinct aspects that may or may not be connected [to each other]. - Allergies: seem to be primarily environmental eg dust mites or mould. May or may not be food related allergies too. Does anyone experience these as varying in...

Some random links on hypersensitivity The Neuroinflammatory Etiopathology of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) -Julian A. G. Glassford https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5314655/ In the mind or in the brain? Scientific evidence for central sensitisation in...

" substantial current fatigue on the widely used self-rated Chalder fatigue questionnaire" Widely used by whom?

This experiment involved even more people. Though the full details are not known, one of the junior researchers involved suggested that the study was looking at the impact of parenting style. This involved placing an intial child with the adoptive families to assess the parents first, then...

Presumably the study is not going to record participants' total activity 24/7, in order to know if any 'improvement' is due to an actual improvement or merely reflects a reorganisation of priorities enabling a misleading apparent improvement by unconsciously cutting back on other activities. In...

On a more realistic note, the statement that "in some cases, the condition can persist for a number of years" does not inspire confidence that Dr Broadbent has any real understanding of our condition.

Now staying in an hotel on the Sunshine Coast with a brief swim twice a week sounds wonderful. Good fresh food on room service, a beautiful sea view. If it could be organised, I am all for it. Though it would be hard to know if any improvement resulted from a virtually complete rest cure, or...

It is interesting that various of us in various forums and in threads here have raised the idea, could convalesance prevent acute conditions developing into ME? I have regularly wondered if I had not pushed myself to get back to work within a few weeks of the onset of my glandular fever could...

There is also the issue that people with more severe ME may be effectively excluded from health care because there are not suitable domiciliary services, or people with ME may withdraw from medical care because of negative experiences of or inappropriate advice from doctors. On the simple...
