I guess psychiatrists helped me by being the only four doctors who actually thought I was ill in my early years of ME. They couldn't treat me but...
True, but what cheers me is that NICE had already decided to do the right thing, and they're one of the bodies that will actually drive this....
Think I'll wait for the preliminary study on co-morbid batshit rage among young people who have to put up this sort of codswallop AND deal with...
I thought that was the only explanation. Yup. Same thing with doctors; when I was first assessed for a disability allowance 20-odd years ago, I...
They probably just haven't realised that someone invented the vibrator really quite a long time ago.
But surely lots of people have what could be labelled "proprioceptive dysfunction", yet they don't have ME? I'm relatively still compared to...
I think it might be too unspecific, tbh. It must be common in the very young, the very old, and folk who're unwell with all sorts of conditions....
It's really frightening that over a million people have had it for a year or longer. Typically, self-limiting post viral syndromes resolve before...

I hope they're not going to put the unbalanced ones in the rocking bed, because that is NOT going to go well...
As @lunarainbows says, yes there are. Talk to a pharmacist, they're really helpful. Some people can mix a drowsy with a non-drowsy antihistamine,...
One of the problems I have with the medical definition is the term vague. If "vague" means illness caused by lots of different symptoms then it...
Oh, thank you. I'd never heard of it before.
I'm afraid I've never heard of a journal club. Could you possibly give a bit of detail about what they are, in case people in different areas just...
Local ME patients know it's to be avoided like the plague, and some GPs do too. My previous doctor, now sadly long retired, warned me two decades...
I've only filled in the form once, so I couldn't remember. But I do use it indoors, always in big buildings and sometimes at home, so I guess I...
I've never had an assessment for ESA at all since my first claim in 2014, and I've never been given a fixed award length. Maybe someone has to...
