It looks very much as if an alternative medical universe is springing up in which people who have no idea what they are doing or how to assess...
I once had a pair of skis that I did not look after very well. When I finally took them in for service the man in the shop described them as a...
Yup. A very sound opinion, in my opinion.
This is such a beautiful example of how their 'science' is nothing more than drawing a pretty picture of popular prejudice on a slide. Edit:...
There used to be a saying that there were three statements that had something in common. I can only remember two: The cheque is in the post....
Multi-drivel at its finest. A joined up multidisciplinary service consisting of a pyschiatrist and a nurse and even they aren't joined up. Now we...
A lot of good points and a lot of common ground @Medfeb. My comment about USA bodies was intended to be a bit of a barb I guess, but I think it...
Building an empire on fake news of this sort is going to be quite hard to sustain in the long run I think. This figure means absolutely nothing,...
Why did I suddenly think of cubscouting? Can't understand basic science, can only understand tweeting inane non-sequiter gripes?

I think Hilda Bastian (PLOS ONE blog) and Carol Monaghan (The ME Show interview) summarise ME activists' views pretty well. They want better...
Is that from Hummingbird? I would not recommend using that for NICE or maybe not even for GP awareness. Some of the things on there are not...
So, we have the perfect storm: Risk of expectation bias is high in unblinded trials. Risk is expected to be higher for ME, because of the nature...
I don't see how scientists can survive saying this in the long term: We prefer the definitions of recovery we used to those used by Wilshire et...
I agree that a bit more on PEM would not go amiss. Maybe the committee, including @adambeyoncelowe and @Keela Too could consider this. But I...
Carol does not pull punches. She gives a clear and considered account of the state of play. Dr Sharpe appears to her like a caged animal.
No, are they relevant to this discussion?
I agree. I am not going to be making that decision but it would be reasonable, if CBT and GET are removed, to indicate explicitly why things have...
I think the problem may be that you are wanting NICE guidelines to be a basic educational tool that tells doctors how to diagnose ME/CFS. But that...
While I am with you in spirit for your post I have today why would the advice be different? We don't have any reliable evidence about what to do...
Separate names with a comma.
