Ummm, I wonder how many gentlemen this applies to? In any case, it's an utterly bizarre attitude, and I'm sorry you encountered it in such a...
Deep engagement with patients in order to shape a country's management recommendations is exactly the sort of thing for which EU funding could and...
The reason I prefer 'activity' is that it naturally feels more inclusive of mental work. That isn't true in a strict sense, of course; 'mental...
It also encourages people to think of exercise and activity as different things, which is very unhelpful when you're trying to learn to manage ME....
Indeed, but I'd argue it would help us if the word 'exercise' could be banished and replaced by 'activity'. That's a much more inclusive term when...
No, I can't be sure. I just know that the longer I sleep after 7am, the more at risk I am for a crash that can last for anything from a few really...
I must just be used to it, after half a century of a frankly disgraceful cola habit... :whistle: Given it up a number times for an extended...
The fact that 'harm' – in the shape of worsened symptoms over an extended period – can be caused by different factors adds another layer of...
It would – but proper engagement and listening could take them a very long way. Case in point: one of our GPs (now retired) tended to brush off...
Just to throw something else in: to me, fatigue and pain are to some extent the same thing. I'm unwell with a virus at the moment, but as my...
Presumably, there's also a considerable lag in learning how to use it to best advantage too? Not to speak of restricted access, exorbitant costs,...
According to Wikipedia (not the most reliable source, I agree, and not necessarily even up-to-date), none of the multiple lawsuits against Dr....
This is what I assumed, but I don't know for sure. Whenever there's an appeal for a specific project that ends up being shelved, the charity...

'Researcher'... :rofl::rofl::rofl:
Especially as the basic rate for out-of-work benefits is less than £74 per week. Not many people could give up more than three weeks' income....
Overuse injuries can be exceptionally painful. I had one in my shoulder, and literally couldn't even lie down for months on end (I have...
Another thought: a friend with fibro has found Ambroxol, an over-the-counter drug used to clear chest congestion, quite helpful. I think this is...
For me, it depends on the type of pain. Muscle pain = gentle, even pressure or a warm shower. Joint pain = warmth, unless it's a recent injury...
I agree – if it helps in explaining it, I find evenly distributed pressure on the painful muscle helps. I had it last night in my thigh muscles...
Separate names with a comma.
