Yup. And DWP has confirmed today that Jobcentres will no longer issue food bank vouchers to people who can't feed themselves or their kids. Many...
It doesn't pretend to be, or need to be. They state clearly that their programme has nothing to do with medicine or treatment. The patients seem...
Absolutely. And I think OI is a reasonable name for it, because it doesn't try to suggest the underlying cause—which may actually be several...
Yes, I agree. I'm not thinking very clearly, but what I'm trying to get at is whether there's a particular type of ME sleep that would look on...
I found this snippet interesting, because in me at least, non-restorative doesn't result in greater daytime sleepiness. It just makes me feel...
Yes, me too. It may turn out to be an artefact or error, but someone needs to show that before it can be abandoned. Even if it picks up evidence...
Literally never mentioned, either time. I guess it's possible the reason for the procedure makes a difference. In my case it was just general...
It all seems very inconsistent. I didn't want an anaesthetic because I'd have needed to find someone to sit with me for 24 hours afterwards, and...

But developers know what those things are, that's the point. Accelerometers measuring speed and direction work very well, so you can leverage...
Yes. Which goes back to needing someone to write an app that will collect information specific to ME from smart watch-type devices. Which first...
If it's delivered properly, it's not like that at all. It goes at the client's pace, and only as far and as deep as they want to go. It's someone...
The glorious irony is that some people with ME might benefit from help to change the way they think and behave. For instance, it's particularly...
Follow-up post from @MSEsperanza: Don't want to endorse healthcare based on pseudoscience ('anthroposophic medicine'), but thought it could be...
From @MSEsperanza: Abstract Background Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is the most taxing symptom for many breast cancer patients during and after...
My experience: that's quite true to the extent that I'm no longer doing whatever caused the reaction. I'm at rest from that. But I'm not at rest...
That's brilliant news! I hope it gets confirmed and accepted, it'll make a difference to a lot of women. I'm pretty sure mine's inherited (via my...
