Good thread from John: [MEDIA] [MEDIA] [MEDIA] [MEDIA] [MEDIA]
Yes. My perception is that SW has helped to create and perpetuate a culture in which people with ME suffer from far more prejudice and...
Err, doesn’t it stand for “association”? Thanks for the excellent explanation. I sort of knew most of it, but very useful to have it spelt out so...
