This looks significant - patients on the executive board, not just shoved into a cupboard somewhere.

I don't think it's realistic to expect Holgate to go, since he initiated the whole thing and seems to be it major player. I think the key thing...
How would you phrase it in a way that would leave no wiggle room for the BPS bunch? (I seriously wonder if that's even possible, given how much...
This could be exciting! The key message seems buried in a lot of guff: Following a meeting of its Executive Board in February 2018, the CMRC...
I seem to be pursuing around the forum and nagging you about being more visible, @Gary Burgess, but how about putting your name in the title (at...
Great, Gary - why not start a new thread on that so people can see the news? (A lot of people won't now be following this thread, which has...

Just done a lot of googling and found this article about bedding that supposedly helps you regulate your temperature:...
Post-meno, and post-hot-flashes, so I don't think this is related. I'd thought it was a dysautonomia thing. But this is why I want something that...
Intriguing idea! But even if I go to bed cold, I seem to warm up quickly - and then go to sleep and wake up too cold some hours later.
This is the thing, though - how to avoid waking up! I have ways to solve the problem if I do wake up - what I need is something that will help my...
People keep telling me that but I don't think I'm ever going to feel safe with one. :nailbiting:
