    United Kingdom: News from #There for ME

    Pill / tablet cutter

    I have gone for one of the highly rated but relatively cheap ones off Amazon. I'll see how it is. If it starts to blunt or otherwise play up I'll pay more next time.

    Pill / tablet cutter

    Has anyone got one that they would recommend? I think I could do with one. Might need to split small pills into quarters so I need something that can cope with that. Thanks.

    Normative data for the 10-min Lean Test in individuals without Orthostatic Intolerance

    But these are healthy controls, so you'd expect small increases in HR and very few to none meeting PoTS criteria. Unless I am misinterpreting your post...?

    Action for ME (UK) fundraising

    This is Action For ME, one of the two main UK charities, not ME Action. I definitely feel more comfortable donating to AfME than the ME Association these days.

    Oura Ring 4

    This is also the case for me. I'm not exactly sure what it's sensing — increased heart rate or perhaps something else.

    Oura Ring 4

    I have an Oura 3. The battery life has recently degraded, which is a known issue after 2+ years. I have read that they might replace it for free. Interested to see your HRV data.

    United Kingdom News (including UK wide, England, NI and Wales - see separate thread for news from Scotland)

    I can't get archive.ph links to work these days. I'm not sure if the site is down here in the UK or whether it's something in my setup. I use 12ft.io to view these paywalled articles.

    Unequal access to diagnosis of myalgic encephalomyelitis in England, 2025, Ponting and Samms

    It's an estimate based on the numbers in England diagnosed with the ICD-10 code G93.3 (Postviral and related fatigue syndromes), which includes ME/CFS, based on analysis of hospital data (not GP records). The study hasn't attempted to disentangle the known problems with misapplication of...

    There seems to be some confusion about whether the 404,000 figure is for the UK or just England. I believe it's for the UK, so this article would need correcting.
