Thank you @TiredSam for taking one for the team there & posting your synopsis. :thumbup: I was going to have a go at watching it....and decided...
I've put unclear because sometimes it is and at others it isn't. I think I was like that pre ME too. At times, especially the better times, I...
i agree. ME is a marathon rather than a sprint and sometimes, when we have enough wiggle room to make a choice, we have to balance our mental...
[Bolding mine] Agreed but as often as not it's not necessarily a choice. Lack of support be it financial or physical often means that if you do...
Yep, says it all. As the video about Holgar highlights it's not just us patients caught up but our loved ones too. Holgar's brother did a great...
From the quote in @Kalliope 's post above Very creative techniques are the least of it, we know from PACE that they deliberately sought to avoid...
I just cannot get my head around the logical inconsistencies, failure to acknowledge the possibility of harms and total disregard for patient...
As an engineer who spent a lot of time on customer site I dispute this. Early on i wasn't really interested in the people & that machinery is so...
Very small fry in the scheme of things but it makes a big difference to me. My GP surgery have changed the way they do things. No problem with...
No, I've searched for it before & tried to find the guy's name. I wish I'd made a note of it. :rolleyes::oops: It was the first time i realized...

Yes. I believe both these statements can be true simultaneously. In the distant past, when working, I would be asked to visit clients sites...
I agree with everything you've said @strategist. I think the point made by Grete Lilledalen addresses a different issue though. 1) stop the...
I can see where you're coming from & agree. However, with poor diagnosis using outdated criteria there are people diagnosed with ME who are not...
I'd rather he didn't in a way. If he were to come out and apologise then it would back to the militant ME patient narrative all over again. I...
i believe we have to allow room for people to change their minds and opinions about ME. While I found RG's first "joke" about ME offensive, if...
In a way, this is what has happened with IAPT. We were used as a testing ground - the fact PACE successfully demonstrated they were wrong was...
Ah, but if you can get public services to pay for some of this training you can expand your customer base in all directions. Imagine if the GP...
I can't copy/quote it for some reason but in @Dolphin 's post #375 I notice they've slipped Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in under Psychiatric...
I didn't see anything offensive about ME in the clip. There might be other reasons why others might find bits of it offensive. The person in...
