How exciting, @Evergreen! I'd advise that you try and arrange for at least one of the chairs to be lent to you for at least 24 hours, preferably...
Just to go back to the question that started me on this train of thought: are people asked about capacity for work/ study/ etc in other contexts...
I think that's rather different to annual reviews, which are by definition routine. They're not designed to manage a change in someone's level...
Blimey, they're clueless, aren't they? I'd question the professionalism of a company that can't even be bothered to read a few paragraphs of...
My GP practice does both my reviews, even though I'm also reviewed by the rheumatology team. I think it's quite normal for primary care teams to...
First posts copied and others moved from UK:ME Association funds research for a new clinical assessment toolkit in NHS ME/CFS specialist...
Most people with a 'proper' chronic illness have an annual review, don't they? I have them for two different conditions, neither of which impact...

Good idea—maybe we could ask for it to go into the action plan, or whatever it was called? It's not difficult to do, especially if a simple...
More often, the pretence seems to be that we have a disease model of ME in humans that we can somehow replicate in non-humans. We don't. There's...
I don't know, but the point is that it should. PEM is what matters in ME, so that is what should be measured, assessed, or whatever. New patients...
ETA: Sorry, I started writing this some time ago in response to earlier posts, but it looks well out of sequence now! I agree very much with the...

At least there's some observable pathology. In ME, we've no idea what the pathology looks like; until we do, we can't even know whether or not...
I wonder if this might usefully be expanded to include peaks of onset? The 'most common in people between the ages of 40-60 years' is true from...
There are, but it's not an unusual situation. A patient or participant can be taken through a lengthy diagnostic process, an answer can be found,...
My ten bob's on "because we always do". I went through my working life wondering why people did what they did, the way that they did. It took me...
