Since Yellow Card won't record harms from psychosocial therapies, can someone set up a site for people to register those harms? Then perhaps we...
Strangely enough, the MRC documents from Kew, which I was reading this morning, mention HTLV-II (not HTLV-I) in connection with ME. They say...
You've got a good mix of treatment. Baclofen works on GABA-B, which might work in concert with the gabapentin (GABA-A) to aid muscle relaxation?...
Being confused and having confused brain 'signals' are two different things.
Wow. This is so terrible. I hope Australia doesn't wait until it becomes a pandemic before acting.
There's a good litmus test for how his posts are being received: does he have more replies than likes? If so, even someone ignorant of the facts...
People honestly think you have to be a vegetable to need help. It's sickening.
It's just so offensive. They're revealing the bigotry behind their ideology here, I believe. Being trans is hardly new--there are histories of...
The science behind FND is just so woolly. 'Erm, signals, signals, something, conversion, hysteria, signals.' I have no doubt signalling issues...

Why is the O'Leary letter troubling? This is a very complex area with lots of jargon, and I think brainfog may prevent many people from...
Younger thinks there are three main subgroups: metabolic, viral (reactivating, persistent or just post-viral) and autoimmune/inflammatory. I don't...
Exactly. And as you point out, it's a social justice issue and human rights issue as much as anything else. Bill, you seem to imply ME is a new...
The average of 125,000 (lowest estimate) and 250,000 (highest estimate) is about 190,000. That's the only way I can find a figure of 190,000. I...
I frankly don't give a damn what snooty doctors might say. I've had far worse things said and done to me.
Les Simpson found altered blood shapes in ME too. This may, if true, distinguish the two illnesses (although obviously a history of service in the...
The point is that names and words don't always make sense. Especially in the English language. But @chrisb is right--the ME definitions are all...
Separate names with a comma.
