I'm uncomfortable about the label 'junk food' – it's food, and if it's all you can afford or you don't have access to cooking facilities, it's...
You see, if science had been explained like this when I was at school, I might have got a bit further with it!
I genuinely thought it was one of those joke studies that people submit in order to prove that they'll literally print anything if you pay the...
It is interesting to try and tie down these definitions. I think my own experience is something like this: Sleepiness (daytime) Associated mostly...
In the early stages of PEM I have the opposite to fatigue. I feel 'wired', I have to pee every half hour, and I'm constantly throwing off and...
It's not even necessarily harmful. We could be producing an abnormal reaction to something that's perfectly normal and will be found in everyone's...
Our family has quite a few people with what for decades was simply called hypermobility. I don't understand why we can't just continue with this...
Me too. I've learned how to discriminate now after many years' experience, but it's not immediate. I have to wait to find out whether my nose...
I don't think this has been published, even in the PNAS article – you might have to find a contact for Rahim Esfandyarpour to find out. Only the...
Before we invest in it, I think we need to wait at the very least until the Phase 3 trial of the drug is complete, and the nanoneedle project has...
Must confess I didn't listen. I have a new-ish TV, and I don't want it to go the same way ours did when my Dad saw Mrs Thatcher being interviewed...

I'm not completely sure it's the caffeine that benefits me, although it's difficult to compare because I've never been able to cope with the taste...
Then we need to stop using the argument that ME causes harm, because harm in those terms really isn't our problem. I do have evidence of harm: 11...
Interesting. I saw several psychiatrists in the early years of my ME (late 1970s and early 80s), which, although I felt a bit baffled by the...
Ummm, I wonder how many gentlemen this applies to? In any case, it's an utterly bizarre attitude, and I'm sorry you encountered it in such a...
Deep engagement with patients in order to shape a country's management recommendations is exactly the sort of thing for which EU funding could and...
The reason I prefer 'activity' is that it naturally feels more inclusive of mental work. That isn't true in a strict sense, of course; 'mental...
It also encourages people to think of exercise and activity as different things, which is very unhelpful when you're trying to learn to manage ME....
Indeed, but I'd argue it would help us if the word 'exercise' could be banished and replaced by 'activity'. That's a much more inclusive term when...
Separate names with a comma.
