This is exactly the problem in my experience. In addition, when at the doctors or being assessed I have found that people, sometimes with the...
Thanks everyone for the comments on this thread. I've just discovered that if I give home machine readings they won't make me drag my carcass to...
Didn't someone - Wessely, possibly Sharpe, recently use the fact he had ME and therefore a conflict of interest against someone? Possibly Keith...
Can I ask - were you refused a prescription by a doctor or was the naproxen removed from your repeat prescriptions? If it was removed from the...
I experience episodes of this as a consequence of PEM. It's the kind of wired but tired thing - SSRI's and the z drugs - zopiclone etc also cause...
I've not been in that situation but I would probably have lost that ability. The closest I can think of is during an overnight stay in A&E where...

As a group which has been so highly stigmatized because of how others have chosen to define us and then attempted to measure their idea of key...
I think it's a wonderful idea but a big undertaking. What exactly do we measure? Some (like me) object to the use of fatigue but others are...
Me too. I don't think it is necessary to try to take a balanced approach and it irks me a bit that this is what seems to be the case from the...
Very well put. :thumbup:
I don't think that's much better to be honest. IF you are at risk of developing ME - and I accept we can't tell who is or is not - then to my...
Overall a good letter but.... Bolding mine. This has a suspicious whiff of pacing up as AfME put it. Although he does say it should take...
Now that really would make you sick. :yuck: Gentle art my ar.. It might be gentle if you're on the schmoozing end but when you're on other side...
