It’s my view that due to years of neglect, ME patients are among some of the most proactive people I’ve ever spoken with, doubly so when you...
Blog posts like this often strike the tone that there’s a big silent majority in favour of this view. From what I’ve read (social media, blog...
I know this figure is used a lot, but based on completely unverified and anecdotal evidence, I think that 25% figure is inaccurate and the real...
Is anyone aware of what group this is? Might be worth someone with writing experience getting in touch with some members
I wouldn’t say it was that bad. The only two lines that leap out to me are the ones about ‘inner strength’ and ‘not letting ME stop you from doing...
