That video is absolutely brilliant. Not only does it strip away all the jargon so I can finally understand exactly why PACE was such a pile of crap, but watching it has increased my score from 35 to 40. I now plan to watch it another 12 times - my 'recovery' will be complete! Will you count it...

Look - football!

ME is the belief that you have ME, so a trial to see if you can change beliefs makes sense to Sharpe, there's nothing objective to measure. There's the tiresome business of dressing it up as science to try to stop the militant activists from getting too boisterous, but that's all just annoying...

I don't suppose accurate records are kept about how often this persistent anxiety is fatal?

From their blurb: The arrogance is off the scale - how do they know a symptom is not due to a physical illness in the body? Because their current state of knowledge of the body is complete, and cannot be improved upon? Because there's nothing left to learn about the body?

Might be worth going for the WI-quality cake then, and the free calendar.

Yes, it appeals to the type A personality. And we all know how many of them have ME. What part of AfME's expertise (if we accept that they have any, for the sake of argument) allows them to make a statement like that? Have they done a customer satisfaction survey? Have they checked whether...

Perhaps just before it's too late, when you have something clearly wrong with you, which the doctor can recognise and diagnose, and then get to be an absolute hero by saving you at the last minute?

I'd forgotten this: What the article doesn't mention is that it was a paring knife for cutting up her apple wasn't it? This part of the article is also intriguing: "... pray to God for fogiveness" rings a bell somewhere, ... surely not ...

Having lived in the UK for my first 26 years and Germany for my second 26 years, I can agree with this: I can also agree with this: With the last two words deleted. Whilst I would much rather be ill in Germany and my experience of the health system here is much better than in the UK, German...

Not exactly making the path to salvation any easier is he?

To be fair we've been blaming a bunch of comedians ever since they authored the PACE trial.

Oh good, glad it wasn't a moderation issue. Have at it @Esther12!

Maybe I'll get into even more trouble. Did you remember to invoke the almighty when you sinned? Always helps.

cough *Anthony Pelosi* cough Oh may the good lord have mercy on my soul for that

I wouldn't worry, I'm sure no-one will go searching for clues: And look up the citation to see who has been beseeching the almighty for forgiveness, in a review of a publication by his mates no less on page 82 of the following...

I've only just got round to listening to the first 3 episodes - absolutely excellent, I'm very much looking forward to hearing the rest.
