Looks interesting. Will read.
They have a track record of exaggerating.
I think that may be true. A lawyer would watch out for that.
I think that the approach of diagnosing PVFS early, and then ME later, is the right one and strikes the balance between immediate care and waiting...
This is what I've thought, too, although it's not just Crawley who says this. Though she's certainly the first person I saw who says this.
But at the same time, this could be an autoimmune or genetic disease manifesting at the same time due to a shared trigger. Or, likewise, it could...

Oops. My mistake. You're right!
It looks substantially different. It's not anywhere near as biased or outwardly hostile as it was the first time around. Presumably, they realised...
More rubbish. Again, how could this be measured? What's the point if it has to be repeated every time you crash? Doesn't that make it ridiculously...
Separate names with a comma.
