What I don’t get is dumdrum seems to argue that subjective measures are more relevent in ME because objective measures don’t directly measure ME....
I think we’ve shown it generally isn’t the case for the average person, just as GET has been shown not to work for the average pwME. But...
It reminds me of the saying/joke in urban planning spaces about road traffic “Just one more lane will fix it, I promise” (when it doesn’t really...
