Yes, Thank you @Sasha I got them on the link you provided. That’s where I saw Nina Muirhead had proposed a postgrad cert in ME/cfs.

I believe that those who have been turned down heard on Monday.

Any chance of posting them for those of us who don’t tweet? ETA: Action for ME have posted some. If you scroll down a fair way, dr Muirhead’s are there. She wants a postgraduate certificate in ME/cfs.

Do you know when their names will be released? Can’t help thinking these will be a very important group.

@Hell..hath..no..fury... I take bisoprolol for high blood pressure and a heart condition. I also have tachycardia and it is really good for that. I feel calmer when my heart rate is lower. I did actually try to stop recently and change to a different bp medication but I really couldn’t manage...

So beautiful @Kalliope.

https://www.libdems.org.uk/scotland Just looking up to see if Scottish and Westminster Libdems ally themselves in any way. @Emsho - is the above link accurate as far as you know? Many congratulations. Great news.

“The meeting will include #MEAction Executive Director, Jennifer Brea, #MEAction’s Director of Global Community & Campaigns, Ben HsuBorger, activists Terri Wilder and Mary Dimmock, patient and scientist, Dr. Becky Taurog, PhD, and patient and immunologist, Dr. Rochelle Joslyn, PhD” ( quote from...

The #MEAction statement is dated Sept 6th and gives a list of attendees headed by Jen Brea. I hope she is doing well currently and does not have to overstretch herself to attend this meeting. It is a hugely important meeting that I hope she can attend but we don’t want our advocates to become...

http://meadvocatesireland.blogspot.com/2018/09/complaint-report-offers-hope-for-those.html I read this a couple of days ago ( have forgotten where but could it be @Keela Too?) and sent it to a family member, and have retrieved it from the email in order to post it here. I think it demonstrates...

@Jonathan Edwards Have been trying to link to the Times article without success but it is at the top of this thread https://www.theguardian.com/global/2018/sep/01/pain-rollercoaster- fibromyalgia-kirsty-young-desert-island-discs With reference to the Times, it is ill informed and gossipy...

https://www.theguardian.com/global/2018/sep/01/pain-rollercoaster-fibromyalgia-kirsty-young-desert-island-discs A very different type of article on fibromyalgia written by a patient. Just read it in the Observer:presume I missed it in the Guardian yesterday. ETA: so totally different from S...

Thank you @Trish. Had just been following this thread. Glad to see it has been picked up. I do think it needs a response.

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/kirsty-young-must-go-softer-on-herself-during-break-from-desert-island-discs-2pkjdbfbn This article by Sarah Baxter is on the leader page of the Times today, not as a leading article but as an opinion piece sharing the page with Dominic Lawson. It will get a...

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/male-scientists-cut-me-off-after-i-stood-up-for-staff-says-top-biologist-fiona-watt-hbksqh373 Fiona Watt is in the Times again. Good to have background on the Chair of the MRC.

The letter was edited by the Times, specifically the title. Will post if there is any further information on this.

I have no idea what MEA will be putting in its letter to the Times but I hope it includes something to the effect that this is an inaccurate characterisation of pwme, that we are being traduced. ETA: grammar

Didn’t we have a new member early in the summer, a doctor with ME, who was interested in tackling teaching about ME in the medical schools? She may have attended Forward ME- unsure about that.

It’s showing as that when I checked Amazon about a half hour ago. I wondered whether we had been buying so many it had caused price to drop. My logic may not be logical!
