I don't twitter but: I would be interested to know what Dr Wessely DOES think this is about. If it is not about the science there was never an...
Very simple really. A diagnosis is a label. A formulation is bullshit. The author seems to miss the point that you need evidence to discover...
That is not ME. It may have been part of an initial acute illness that triggered ME - as seems to have been the case in the Royal Free episode. In...
Sadly, I don't think that is the case. The medical versus medical push in the UK in the early 2000s came from patient-based groups and patients...
This is why the medical not mental approach is so damaging for ME advocacy.
Essentially I am saying that ME is like diabetes or hypertension, or perhaps Parkinsonism which are defined as specific patterns of disordered...
Apparently Dr Kate Stein is an Oxford psychiatrist who works on CBT based interventions for children with functional somatic symptoms. Odd...
That is something I would like to find out a bit more about. However, I have the very strong impression that the only academics who are 'appalled'...
More or less. To be honest, during my time as a rheumatologist up to 2010 nobody much talked about CFS. Chronic pain yes but not CFS. Nor did...
Not as far as I know. I am not sure that it would be a good idea to livestream. I have no idea what the response will be, or whether any ME/CFS...
It does sound like a bear with a sore head a bit, although I agree with most of the sentiment. David, Willy (I think Charles and Espemor) and I...
She needs to join S4ME. I think I thought much as she did before I joined the forums.
Sir Simon Wessely, of King’s College London, said that he had also stopped researching CFS treatment after “relentless internet stalking”. One...
I think you are on safe ground. Only stupid people think they know what it means. The key conflation seems neatly expressed in this: Central...
You might be right but if I was reviewing I would not raise all this fluff about not giving an opinion. If the referee thought the letter was...
The comparison of CBT and GET was a good thing to do. Unfortunately, there was not much difference between the two so no conclusion about efficacy...
This is a really useful comparison. I had forgotten that there was an open label rituximab study. The phase 2 blinded study gives very wobbly...
That is certainly how it looks to us, but it might not look like that to someone on the receiving end!
If it hadn't been for PWME I doubt any of these would have occurred. Some I know to have been as a result of the actions of PWME, even if the...
It is under correspondence so I presume this is classed as a letter.
Separate names with a comma.
