Well I was looking forward to picking this apart and having a good grumble about it, but to be honest I think it's rather good. It's obviously written for someone who is clueless, so it is "dumbed down", but it has to be if it's being presented to an occupational therapist who knows nothing and...

The amount claimed is peanuts. The DWP will offer to pay in full without an admission of liability before it ever comes to court, which would be a sort of precedent to encourage other claimants, but not a legal judgement on the issue. So it's unlikely to result in a legal precedent, but could...

No skills required then. Nothing about logical argument, reference to research, consideration of the patient's views in that list. Just label any feedback from the patient as "emotional distress and mental health problems" if they emerge if the patient says anything. Insisting you are right...

I've just realise how clever MUPS is, sorry for being a bit slow. Psychoquacks have always liked to occupy the space on the edge of what can medically be explained, whatever illnesses those may be at a particular time. Now with the MUPS umbrella, as illnesses become explained over time and the...

903 donors, looks like the $5000 is covered too - total now $80,210.

Sounds like the perfect place to find people who can answer "yes" to the following two questions: 1. Do you sometimes feel tired? 2. Would you like to earn a tenner? Doesn't seem strange to me at all that they would go participant fishing on such a website - they've got two bites already.

It is. I shall donate on the assumption that @Robert 1973 has been blocked by MS. It may be that @Robert 1973 and a large number of his vociferous, militant and vexatious supporters claim that he has not been blocked, but that's obviously because they haven't had enough CBT to correct their...

Nice of them to lay on a bit of satirical entertainment in the evenings, these conferences can get rather boring otherwise. Oh, hang on, it says Plenary Sessions - Program Highlights :jawdrop: - so they're going to try and discuss this during the day with straight faces and without a hint of...

Nice of the BPS crew to try and bugger up the only support system some pwme might have left.

The bag design, approved by the ethics committee:

Perhaps we shouldn't be so sniffy? Maybe it isn't an idea to be sneezed at?

They did once, and made the headlines. The next time they got it all wrong. Think I heard a "more or less" podcast about it. The replication crisis strikes again.

I always feel at my best when angry. Second best is grumpiness. I find happiness vastly over-rated.

Me too, stale fish burps all morning. Couldn't take them when I was teaching. My son, a fitness freak, saw my expensive Omega 3 capsules and asked if he could have them. "Sure," I replied. Small pleasures.

I think that is exactly what he means. ME patients are really able to do as much or as little as they choose, because their illness is just an illusion. And even if CBT relieves them of that illusion, it doesn't mean the patients will be more active, because the buggers just do what they want...

That sounds splendid. We have a deal.

Ok if @Robert 1973 gets blocked by MS before the end of April I'll donate 50 to David Tuller in addition to what I'm already going to donate. You the same @Alvin? Mind you this does put @Robert 1973 in the ethical dilemma of whether to get himself blocked or not. Hmm, unintended consequences ...
