Here's where the lack of reporting of harm from PACE(& CFS clinics) comes into play. Even if it's a null treatment it doesn't matter, it won't...
Has he though? I remember seeing a documentary in the 90s or early '00s about ME. They discussed a child who was a cancer survivor and then went...
This I think is at the heart of the sweeping acceptance of the work of Wessely, White, Chalder. They claim to be experts in ME/CFS, but are not....
I find my earplugs block the sound of the ensuite extractor fan completely. I reckon it's mounting is slightly loose and so it vibrates a little...
I agree with the distraction technique, if some noise can be tolerated. I find some noise more bearable than others- I love the sound of waves...
Doesn't it just! It would appear that not only is it believed can CBT replace medicine, it can also replace one's faith or religion. A snake...

It's certainly food for thought, but if we are going to have any research done, of any kind there will always be the risk that some pillock is...
With regard to further contact, it might be useful to understand how this will work. Perhaps it would be helpful to understand more how this...
