Balderdash PEM.
FFS. The criteria are a bit absurd, aren't they! If you had a prescription for antidepressants, an asthma reliever or an angina spray, you'd...
This! It's amazing how much guilt there still is, though. The other day I didn't wake up till 12:30 pm, and there it was: "Look at you, laying...
Also, funding's often viewed as a patchwork. Some aspects of a team's work may be funded by earned income or capital schemes that of themselves...

Part of the problem seems to be the use of shadowy categories that are both explicit and not. Some people are put into them, explicitly or not,...
The wired-but-tired PEM phenomenon might be amenable to investigation. Specially as it's visible on heart rate alone for some of us. It starts on...
I'm going with @SNT Gatchaman's term. Disablingly severe and persistent over months shitfuckery...
It is. It's often talked about frankly and openly, sometimes with humour if that's what the person needs. One of the issues explored is whether...
Is it useful to talk about what might happen after PEG placement? There are obvious risks with the surgery, but there are probably also concerns...
