    Suggestions on best tests for checking gut health

    The reaction to antibiotic chimes with our experience. My daughter tested positive for H Pylori ( gp idea re fatigue as no overt symptoms other than burping). Antibiotic made her feel much better . There was a thread that suggested this response could be due to D Lactate Acidosis ( but gp not...

    I think it may come from GWI study first. I don' t know if he is being engaged on that. So perhaps a double whammy to come ....

    Forward ME Group minutes 1st May 2018

    From someone with a somewhat tangential thought process, your reports and advocacy have been much appreciated - all the more so for the clarity in explaining complex issues. I hope that retirement brings some relaxation (!). From someone new to this much misunderstood illness, thank you for...

    Award-winning essay of the NJME/CFSA 2017 Medical Scholar Program: "A Narrative Synthesis for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome"

    Another instance of people framing theories based on their preconceptions? If this is the measure of critical thinking the education system has failed us

    Yes - aids just reinforce sickness behaviour. We had it formally recorded in paediatric notes when we turned up to a clinic appoint ment in a wheelchair.

    Esther Crawley's presentations (excluding the 2017 TEDx talk)

    Perhaps with info on viral and parasitic infections she may have learnt something. Perhaps the strength of " stories" can be the catalyst for change if patients own them. Looking at how other scientists carry their community with them , engage and move things forward , and through dialogue...

    NICE ME/CFS Guideline stakeholder scoping workshop, Fri 25th May 2018

    Good luck finding a physician that will prescribe B12 injections. If it' s not a defined treatment noone will stick their neck above the parapet and prescribe it. Incredibly hard to get, though other fatiguing illnesses have no problems. Please also do not think it is harmless. Sublingual B12...
