AND pensions! :mad: I've been on sodding ESA for six years longer than I would have if they hadn't changed the rules, kept quiet about it, and...
That sounds good, @Hoopoe! As soon as you find people you click with, it'll be irrelevant. A lot of conversations between friends are more or...
I'm in my mid-60s and have no family apart from a sibling who lives miles away, so I dare say I'll find out soon! :laugh:
Applies to inpatients too. When my older relatives were in hospital, family members often had to get things for, assist, and even advocate for...
Oh, that's interesting. So the "novel oral therapeutic being developed" and "ready for GLP toxicity and GLP safety pharmacology studies" might be...
I find it interesting that at least some GPs treat elderly patients very differently. They feel that as the named doctor, they should see the...
I'm losing track a bit, so I've started a list of some of the things that have been highlighted for the shortlist of factors to be accounted for....
The flaky ladies in my family said it resolved in pregnancy, and after each child it was less severe when it returned. I only saw my mam with a...

That's really interesting. Is it because the sound forces you to shift attention to it, and you can't deprioritise it? (I ask because I have...
I'd like it to account for the fact that some people feel better with an infection—and for a minority, very much better for a short time after...
Yes, I remember a relative being prescribed benzodiazepines for about a month, and it struck me how much her cognitive function resembled mine....
I've decided to prepare myself for the results showing no clear link, or being a bit too confusing to interpret straight away. It would be so good...
I can see why they wouldn't want people with military grade twaddle-spotting apparatus, though, who are also likely to ask highly inconvenient...
Biology being what it is, I'm less sure about that one—but yes, it's a great idea to think it through.
It may not be directly relevant, as substantial numbers of people with ME don't really unload their muscles. They might be able to do less, but...
Maybe they're developing it into a competitive sport. Next paper will describe the bonus points for creativity in derisive acronyms for patients.
