Just to be clear, I wasn't referred for ME/CFS. It was because my gait changed in an oddly distinctive way in middle age. Two different GPs...
Not to speak of feeding ourselves, and paying our bills, and buying necessities on an inadequate basic income. The danger in exercises like this...
I'm interested in this too. The only test we seem to have devised is the two-day CPET, which is (a) risky, and (b) to trigger PEM people have no...
Made a PDF with added spacing for folk who struggle with dense text. Content is the same, but the text is left-justified in a san-serif...
This is a really impressive piece of work—thank you! I didn't chip in before, but I saw another small proofing thing. It's just a few missing...

Balderdash PEM.
FFS. The criteria are a bit absurd, aren't they! If you had a prescription for antidepressants, an asthma reliever or an angina spray, you'd...
This! It's amazing how much guilt there still is, though. The other day I didn't wake up till 12:30 pm, and there it was: "Look at you, laying...
Also, funding's often viewed as a patchwork. Some aspects of a team's work may be funded by earned income or capital schemes that of themselves...
