    United Kingdom: Dr Suzanne O’Sullivan (BPS neurologist)

    Some drs should forgo formal medical training and get their degrees from Hogwarts so they can practice their favorite spell ‘psychosomatico’ haha.

    United Kingdom: Cases of people with ME/CFS with severe feeding problems, in the media

    Is this official NHS policy now, not offering TPN for fear of infection, even if it means death of a patient? Because the reasoning seems exactly the same as in Maeve’s case.

    UK: Disability benefits (UC, ESA and PIP) - news and updates 2024 and 2025

    I just don’t get it, the way this government speaks about the disabled and announces cut after cut for the disabled. The way they speak you would think people are unwilling to work. When in fact a lot of disabled are working or would want to work, but can’t. This coupled with the unwillingness...

    Increased hunger during PEM crash

    I wonder if it could also be the body requiring potassium, and potatoes are a good source for potassium. Edit; (also) and I do also have the salt craving

    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    Well, I agree about the groupthink. I am just disappointed that journalism is entertaining this so much these days. To me good journalism is 1) gathering facts/research/ information and write an article on the facts found. Less and less of that.

    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    The way in which Garner finds the media every time makes me think there is some kind of publicist behind it. It almost seems like a campaign.

    WHO Fact Sheet: Post COVID-19 condition (long COVID)

    Another useless organization payed for by us, to prevent doing anything for us.

    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    Does this man EVER give it a rest? Loads of more thoughts but it would go against forum rules.

    Addressing The Diagnostic Void Faced By Patients With Deteriorative Symptoms

    The void exists for a reason imho; to keep the BPS train going. Because how can you rehabilitate patients that not only cannot exercise (because bedbound) but are also (almost) unable to communicate. So exclude the severe, even the moderate and only treat the mild and include people who do not...

    What Mistakes are Being Made in ME Research?

    They should locate all the people that could NOT comply with the GET and CBT and were not counted in the results of these studies, and research them.

    That is the way it should be. Hope it goes through. How could you prove that?

    Curing Cancer with Low Dose Naltrexone

    I remember reading an article that pharmaceutical companies sometimes try to find new applications for certain medications. I wonder if this is what is happening here.

    Shingles vaccines, chickenpox, Shingrix

    They want to make it free for 60 plus but it costs too much in the Netherlands. So it costs about E400. I feel at risk because a relative of mine has a bad case of it. Such a wrong way to save money. It only leads to more healthcare needed. And people suffering sadly.

    Addressing The Diagnostic Void Faced By Patients With Deteriorative Symptoms

    I agree, I was very slowly deteriorating the first stage of getting ill. But I think I also had a phase of being more stable and one of relapsing.
