I never claimed it was. I said natural recovery is like recovering from the 'flu. Which it is, and just like recovering from the 'flu, you can be...
People could tell you, though? There are shades of grey, of course, but if you wanted to run an experiment, it's not difficult for moderately...
Blimey, they've had a lot of responses since I submitted mine on Thursday. Be interesting to see how they analyse it.
I'd be very interested in their theory to explain what happens to your brain if you never stop those normal activities. If you're in full time...
I've been getting out in nature regularly and observing and surveying wildlife for the entire 49 years I've been ill, and can report that it...
As somebody who has recovered, twice, that sounds like naive nonsense. You can't mistake the recovery process. A body that was ill and in pain...
There's also this, at the bottom of the article: So we're going to cut disabled people's benefits to make sure they've no other option but to...
Happened a lot in my former industry, particularly for terps. If companies weren't absolutely dedicated to employing BSL-using actors, they'd...
I don't know how the science comes into it, but for the record I've never thought it's coming to rescue me. Even if I did, it's a struggle not...

Benefits & Work have set up a form for people who have no 4-point scores for PIP daily living to report what the impact on them would be:...

It's not about faith. It's about knowing ME/CFS can always be made worse, and it's easy to fool yourself into thinking something's working when...
I'm sure this is right, @JemPD. They never assessed me for ESA at all; at the time, one of the tests for the support group was the same as for the...
The other thing about this is that in mild or mild-moderate ME/CFS there may be a warm-up effect, a momentum effect, or both. I've found this...
They've only mentioned phasing it out for new claimants. I haven't seen any mention of existing claimants. It's unlikely they've given it much...
I don't understand why this is important enough to repeat. It's fine for people not to want to join the forum if they don't like the way we...
