The cause barely matters anyway at this stage. It's been clear for many years that there are multiple triggers, and there's little point in being...
Probably not, then – I got an 8-page leaflet explaining what they're doing and why, and it's all marked ONS. I've taken part in their surveys a...
Is this separate from the ONS survey? I've been part of that since the outset, but it started in early April. They were originally planning to...
It's an interesting question, but I think there would be serious ethical issues – Covid survivors may still be experiencing their precipitating...
:laugh::laugh:
I wonder if he wants to communicate findings less formally than in a publication? On one hand, this could reduce the time it takes for findings to...
I wonder whether it's helpful to compare the pacing phenomenon to the lives of people who're not ill? Every now and again my friend goes out...
I've been advised that it's fairly unlikely I'd get shingles a second time, so it's one vaccine choice I don't have to make (unless the advice has...

As so many people appear to be asymptomatic, it would be difficult to achieve without a massive testing effort – far beyond the capacity available...
Ironically I was prescribed this in 1976, as the GP believed I was mentally ill. I actually had ME, but wasn't diagnosed for another 20-odd years....
Sigh. I'd prefer them to investigate ME-specific issues – such as why the neck lymph nodes swell up after exertion in many patients – rather than...
Yup – it even led to Prof Garner saying early on that he didn't have post-viral fatigue, because the name isn't in any way descriptive of the...
"We don't know how to treat these patients, so let's see if tripping out makes them forget about it. After all, we shut up lots of women in the...
I couldn't work any of that out on the best cognitive day of my life, before I even got ME! :rofl: One of the reasons cognitive dysfunction is...
My 'last normal' photo is from school in 1975. [ATTACH]
Looks really good. They missed out the 'What can the government do to help?' section, though... ;)
