It’s encouraging if Sir Stephen is now on the right side, and I’m grateful to him if he has played a significant role in moving things forward. I...
This is a bit picky but… I wish they had said, for “for too long people with ME have struggled to get their disease appropriately researched or...
I’ve only read the abstract, but this paper appears to be relevant: “Effect of acetylcholinesterase inhibition with pyridostigmine on cardiac...
Some questions and answers on Twitter. Edit to add: looking forward to reading some write ups of this paper as most of it is beyond me.
I’ve attached a scanned copy of a disappointing letter from Lord Kamall to my MP. Below is the email I sent to my MP on 15 Nov 2021. He replied...
Disappointing to see this in today’s Observer: “Scientists must be free to communicate without politicians’ spin” by Fiona Fox:...
Thanks for the summary, Simon. Always good to see well designed studies even if they don’t give us the answers we are seeking. I’ve not followed...
Please can you give us an update @Hilda Bastian? I had great hopes at the start of this project but I have become increasingly disillusioned with...
For any newcomers, particularly those who have come to this thread from the Lancet, this is what Jonathan previously wrote about Peter White’s...

Thanks. I sent the email to the Independent SAGE address and forwarded it to Danny Altmann (who chaired the LC meeting) and Alice Roberts (who...
“This Friday, Independent SAGE will discuss Long Covid in children. What would you like to know? DM us or send your questions to:...
My initial thoughts on Danny’s replies (not yet communicated to him by email) I think we need both. Getting my life back is the dream but until...
Yesterday, I forwarded my email to Danny Altmann and Alice Roberts. Below IN CAPS are Danny’s responses which I thought were helpful and mostly...
Below is the email that I’ve sent to Indie SAGE. I’ve not had a reply yet but they are often slow to reply. At some stage I will probably share on...
Responses from Professor Stephen Reicher on Twitter: KC: “Hearing @ReicherStephen link ME/CFS to mental illness was a body blow and compounds the...
Yes, Stephen Reicher’s familiar strawman argument was straight out of the SW handbook. A classic, which strongly suggests that the lessons have...
I’m way out of my depth here but, if there is something in the plasma that is affecting the function of cells (endothelial and/or PBMC), is it...
But NO is a vasodilator. This study suggests ME/CFS plasma reduces NO production. So the results appear to be inconsistent with increased...
I asked if I could be given a specific time to ask my question to so I could rest in advance and maximise the probability of me being able to...
