Well, at least we'll all know when science does finally catch up with ME. The studies will all be blaming patients for making themselves worse by...
I took part in this study, and I definitely find the weather influences my pain. I haven't read the full report yet, but I'm not surprised they...
This is entirely true, but it would also be useful to include promising results that really need to be replicated. Perhaps we should begin by...
Me too! Even if it turns out that we could never have unpicked ME without current or future technology (which is entirely possible), it would have...
No, not if the proposition is that an IDO2 mutation is causative of ME. But Dr Phair, who developed the theory, has been clear that it isn't...
I don't think anyone's ever said that, as something so common couldn't possibly be a useful marker. What they're saying is that it's part of a...
He's referring to a specific study – the Severely Ill Big Data study – not literally everyone with ME. Very common, more than 50% of people are...
I heard on a radio documentary that the appendix has evolved on about 30 separate occasions in various species, which would seem to argue against...

I commented to my project manager that I felt lucky to have been awarded a sizeable Disabled Facilities Grant, given the pressures on local...
I imagine it'd be quite difficult to buy a secondhand stair lift, wouldn't it? The most expensive part is the metal rail that the chair rides on,...
@Simbindi – I'm afraid I can't find the agreement that was sent to me, which gave a list of conditions for which a home assessment should...
DWP guidelines state that people with autism should always be offered a home assessment, so it's shocking to hear that you were dragged into a...
It's a bizarre attitude, isn't it. I was struggling to read small print when I got to a certain age, so I needed a solution. I chose to buy some...
I haven't found this to be the case, to be honest. I've used self-funded wheelchairs since 2001, and it was accepted without question on three...
I had this too (we didn't have a name for it then), but luckily it was much more short-lived. My profound depressions often lasted less than an...
I seem to recall that Dr Davies said the SS-31 peptide is easy to make, and they were making their own – have I got that right? Obviously, it...
I'm happy to work on the English, but couldn't do the whole thing alone. If others were also willing to take on a few pages, I'd be happy to be on...
Could be chronic hives? This isn't usually associated with allergy. Whether the rash is itchy, always occurs in the same place, or is growing...
