I was talking about criteria, not people. As to why these people got involved in the criteria, it is not for me to speculate, but the criteria are...
I think the 'causal link' was manufactured by Peter Rowe, Rodney Grahame and Hans Knoop, among others. Rodney Graham has been travelling the...
I don't think we do. I have hypermobile shoulders and fifth MCP joints, a curved spine, piezogenic papule and anterior mesocapsular stars and I...
I don't know anything about your illness but my understanding is that ME/CFS goes on long term for the majority. I am not sure what that has to do...

I was really quite disappointed. She talked of 'evidence-based' treatment but I was unclear what she thought that meant. I got the impression it...
What a strange acronym. It is almost as if it stands for: Sorry you were wrong, you didn't need to come to the ER. You needed a multidisciplinary...
It is not so easy. There are lots of situations like rheumatoid arthritis where exertion causes pain but in the long term maintains mobility so...
What I find remarkable is the complete lack of psychological insight.
EUROMENE was invented by Derek as a talking shop to raise the level of research dialogue and collaboration. It was reinvented when Uldis Berkis...
