Same here, I got what was called ME or PVS in 1983. I never heard the term PVFS until much later, maybe about 1990, and the change from PVS to...
Hadn't heard of him, did a quick google on him and turned up this quite enlightening article from April:...
LOL, I was struck by that phrase too, and really wanted to be able to read the rest of the sentence to find out the context of what the heck they...
For me, it was just one simple sentence I read back when I fell ill in 1983, from a book called The Mile High Staircase by Toni Jeffreys (1982)...
I'm one of those slim chances: I got ME in 1983, recovered enough to resume normal life in 1990, then got bitten by a Lyme tick (I had the...
Utterly weird - they lump ME/CFS and SAD together as if they're the same thing. https://www.simplytreatment.co.uk/me-cfs/ . They lump them...
Yes! That's the one I was thinking of. "They changed the recovery measure because they realised they had gone too extreme and they would have the...
Heh, yes, that was his 'Mental Elf' blog post about the Good Ship PACE:...
I recall someone on the PACE team saying they had to move the goalposts because they realised that if they stuck with the original protocol,...
Yes, BPS folks really LOVE 'may', and also 'suggests', 'it is assumed', 'it is thought', and other words/phrases along those lines, to make the...
It was the Mayo Clinic https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/chronic-fatigue-syndrome/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20360510 That whole page...
Wow, that's a heckuva patronising and downright potentially dangerous set of personal beliefs on display in that article. I wondered who this...
'Often'? Really? Are they sure they didn't mean 'occasionally' but just spelled it wrong :whistle:? But seriously, can they produce actual...
These quotes, exactly. All the banging on about 'fatigue'/'profound tiredness' from the medical establishment is a red rag to a bull for me....
Indeed, I now see by looking at her reference for that claim, reference [28], that it quite laughably is an old Guardian article from 2011 called...
That's...rather insulting, as well as surprisingly ill-informed. She's seriously saying there have never been any 'negative tension generating'...
Yes, my boss was only using it to treat adults who had suffered a traumatic event in adulthood. I guess I can see how it could be problematic for...
It's disheartening to hear that it can have detrimental effects in PTSD. In the 1990s soon after EMDR was conceived, I worked for an NHS...
Very similar here: A consultant I saw years ago for my as-yet-undiagnosed ME wanted me to take antidepressants, and when I told him there was no...
Yikes! That's very unfortunate and indeed something to bear in mind for future such articles! Maybe 'erroneously concluded' or 'concluded on...
