I agree, but I've been trying to reassure myself that NICE and the NHS don't themselves have an interest in the BPS approaches. There's no point...
I suspect a lot depends on how long you've been ill. If you've recently lost your income, home, or relationship, or you're struggling to care for...
Or Brian Hughes
I'm relieved to hear this happened to others, I felt like a bit of a freak when most seemed to have very little reaction at all, or an...
Desperation?
Yeah, it's nothing to do with patients or illness, is it. The danger of support groups is that bright, articulate people get to talk to one...
I think one of the differences may be that we have a series of directly-controlled government departments led by ministers of state, plus hundreds...
It does looks interesting. If there's no explanation for it that's already understood, it needs replicating and then studying further with a...

It is good. Designing the zero gravity effect, so that you can shift the chair by making tiny postural or weight adjustments and then it stays...
Slightly off-the-wall suggestion, but I've just bought a restored Gimson & Slater Rock 'n' Rest chair from the early 70s. My granddad used to have...
My rheumatologist insisted that I had fibromyalgia. I may have – certainly have the pain – but I've never been diagnosed with it. She's the only...
I think there's a lot of sense in this, but we still need ME as an interim diagnosis. Partly because it tells the patient what they need to avoid...
Or what they're supposed to be treating, or how written English works. Be awfully nice to see someone recruiting a practitioner to engage with...
I can't remember whether I posted my experience here (apologies f I have). Anyway, I had my first dose of the AZ vaccine on 27 February. My arm...
Wins the ME internet for the best analogy ever! :trophy@ :rofl::rofl:
