Another stupid title 'Clock' Would be such an easy way to screen out the guff. 1.35 million for that woman is an insult to all that is honourable. I'm seeing the results now: children have long covid because they're traumatised and not going to school.

I have an issue with him suddenly claiming that he more or less had ME (fitting the criteria) even though he'd never been diagnosed as such. To me that was the most unprofessional act of all. You can't just go round claiming you have this or that without a diagnosis. It was noticeable before...

He didn't recover from cfs because he was never diagnosed with it. The only thing he can claim is that he recovered from covid/long covid. I could say I was diagnosed with celiac disease and recovered from it but I never did either.

Just wondering if everyone feels there is a differance between his recent bmj opinion piece and his previous ones. Were they all unprofessional? Were some within the bmj opinion brief and others not?

I just wonder if they had a DR who had been through chemo then took up LP and claimed it was the LP that cured them whether the BMJ would have published it. Somehow I think they would have intervened. Personally Paul Garner comes across as having lost rational thinking on his situation and...

One things for sure, other Long covid folks are now going to try this, when your life is slipping away you'll try anything. In 6 months we'll hear how it went. Garner makes the classic mistake of thinking other people haven't already tried this. I've been surprised when talking to other folks...

Love the image of them all together lying on the floor. That's such a big thing for Whitney to be photoed with his family. (Tried to paste it into my message but didn't manage it)

I don't know if anyone's mention this yet but I'm sure wessely wrote about alcohol intolerance at one point, giving it as another reason m.e. must be psychological.

I always believed it was due to a sluggish liver, struggling to clear the alcohol from your bloodstream, the same goes for drugs.

I would suspect professor (9-5) is one of the bps lot

Just conducted an interesting experiment. Type 'professor of psychological medicine' (with the quote marks) into google and see what turns up.

The BBC reported is being extremely disingenuous here calling him a doctor and not a psychiatrist. Why the omission? And listing him as professor of psychological medicine, what is that? ps There are some amazing psychiatrist's out there, why is it always the same old, same old?

That's a very good point. The Nice guidelines are not for chronic fatigue! Why should they be allowed to put ME/Cfs folks into severe illness for a chronic fatigue policy that has no greater benifit to chronic fatigue, that time and your own urge to do things wouldn't do anyway. Also if it was...

It affected mine

It reminds me very strongly of the dissolution of the slave trade. Those that that tried to stop it being abolished came up with all sorts of ridiculous arguments; black people are not human, etc, (a lot of todays racist beliefs came from that time) And who created these contentions? Slave traders.

PULSE study, REGAIN study. Anything sounding 'catchy' should be binned. And anyone creating these acronyms should be sent for retraining.:nailbiting:

This was how my illness was treated. Every time I visited a dr I was given a new time frame for recovery and therefor nothing should be done about my suffering.

He's seems determined not to diagnose anything in his patients. That could be fatal for the patient. Wonder what conditions he's overlooked.

Another similarity with M.E. I've seen people with M.E. who have severe physical symptoms early on, bedbound or in wheelchairs straight away, seem to recover better than the ones who seem less physically affected. Whether it's because their unable to do anything so rest at the crucial stages of...

Kids generally don't have the wordage or full comprehension of what words mean. I had been very fit and healthy child previously then was hit heavily by a lot of brain symptoms. I mainly would use phrases like 'I'm so tired,' which was highly inappropriate to describe things. I had no...
