    Supportive armchair?

    I don't know if this would suit. It's known as an Eames chair. We had some for years, but eventually the padding gave out. The arms look a little higher than the ones we had, and arm height is important to me now.

    New Documentary "Living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome"

    This film had so much to commend it. I'd love to show it to people I know, except for one thing: the yellow subtitles on pale background are almost impossible to read, and I found it frustrating to try to follow what was being said because of this.

    Scottish MP Carol Monaghan and her work for people with ME/CFS

    Definitely we need an "agree" button or something other than a "like." This is appalling! Can anyone explain why, if the conduct occurred in 2019, it's only now been prosecuted to sentencing? Has it taken that long to investigate?

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

    As someone whose primary instinct is to understand and empathize with any fellow human, I find myself much persuaded by @TiredSam and @Trish. Paul Garner is a medical doctor, a supposed scientist, and has chosen to use his exalted position to actively and persistently do harm to us and to...

    I find it almost impossible to read large blocks of text link this. Could the text be broken up? @Andy I appreciate all the time you take to find and post articles, and I almost faint when confronting those with large blocks of text.

    Understanding, is it necessary in every contact or friendship?

    I confess that I've developed an instrumental approach to interacting with other people. What they can do for me enters into my calculation about whether the relationship is worth my time or not, and whether what I get from them is of a nature that I need them to understand my condition or not...
