I'm not sure, you know. I think it's actively encouraged by the political class, and is partly driven by political ideology. Perhaps not the...
No, but I like it! :laugh:
I suspect with the rehabbers (those working at ground level, at least) it's just lack of information. They've gone through a training and a career...
I didn't even realise it's so local! But yes, very familiar from childhood onwards.
Unless the muscle's already overused and exhausted, in which case it'll just end up hurting. :banghead:
PROM-washing (noun) The pretence of recording treatment outcomes, where there is no treatment and therefore no outcomes.
Even so, I'm still not really clear how establishing a PEM threshold would be useful. This is because we never normally have the opportunity to...
But we can't do the experiment unless we can start from a known point. Most pwME have no way of knowing what number on the scale they're at right...

I can't even remember what MUPS means. Medically Ubiquitous Parrot Symptoms? (I can feel a new word game coming on.) But seriously, I can't...
I suppose you can't blame them, since the alternative ( :eek: ) is to look at the causes.
An important point. I'm not sure about using reversible (they usually speak of improvement), but they present it as a treatment. They take care...
Even if the organisations gave permission, it's still not really adequate. Prising open difficult emotional issues and just walking away should...
PS: many, many thanks to David and George too. This is an incredibly useful exposition of the background to the story.
Thank you, @JohnTheJack. I did a bit more work on it, basically using the Word editor to remove all the 'um' type words, and all the instances...
Good comment from Dr Speight.
Yes, I've just booked the next instalment. It's crazy they're not making it more widely available, given that sort of death rate. :arghh:
Yes, my Fitbit wasn't ideal for swimming, it couldn't reliably tell the difference between backstroke and freestyle! :laugh: But I've had two...
Separate names with a comma.
