Update: I have had a lovely email from the New Scientist. They don't tend to report on project launches, preferring to report on results. They have made a note to keep an eye on this project.

Having a skim of this week's contents on the website : https://www.newscientist.com/issue/3292/ it's looking like my email didn't make any difference. Will double check when I download it tomorrow though.

I have had the sensation of my head feeling like it was actually exploding once while falling asleep. I have had tinnitus for about a year (different tone in each ear) i also get the extreme loud whine for a few seconds that then dissipates fairly regularly as well. I have that auditory...

I think the idea is to teach people to be more "in the moment" and learn acceptance. It has been shown to be helpful in depression and pain management (Jon Kabat-Zinn has been credited for introducing it to the west and using it in this field, with good results) Personally i would feel...

I have just emailed the editor at New Scientist to very politely enquire why they have not covered the launch of DecodeME as it wasn't in this week's issue either

Somewhat surprised to see DecodeME doesn't appear to be mentioned in the latest issue (freshly downloaded) either so they might be getting an email from me too.

Question "misguided division between the objective physical realm, which is construed as real and legitimate, and the realm of subjective experience, which is construed as invalid or derivative." If the subjective experience is considered invalid why are so many BPS studies based on subjective...

Yes, but I also have anxiety and tend toward hypervigilance. The anxiety accompanied a worsening of ME symptoms so a bit chicken and egg...

This is also discussed on this thread; https://www.s4me.info/threads/possibility-of-me-or-pvfs-after-covid-19.14074/page-30#post-269795 And I have just posted the last two paragraphs of this article on the thread, which was post #591

The penultimate paragraph was interesting and hopeful. The last one was thoroughly relatable" "Until now, much of the response to covid-19 has been about preventing deaths, but hospitals are beginning to establish clinics to follow-up the survivors - including those who are still ill. "I'm...

Good point, but would have expected it to be om their website as that is updated more often

Just downloaded this week's New Scientist (thank you to my local library) and it seems really odd that so far I can see no mention of this in the news section. Or on the website. They are normally all over genetic projects.

Clicking on the tweet leads to a message that says "this tweet is from an account that has been suspended"

Thank you :thumbup:

That's great, thank you :thumbup:

This took me to a tweet...

Can someone post Tom Whipple's piece? I have maxed out my 2 free articles. Thanks.

I love my TENS machine and find it has been incredibly helpful. Physio who originally suggested it (for chronic post operative pain, not ME) claimed it was only worked for 25% of people. For once, the odds were in my favour! :)

Yes! THIS and when you wake up you actually feel worse

Thank you @Invisible Woman . Glad to know i was making some sense! Excellent point about seeing GP's - I shall try and remember to make this point to mine when I see her next. None of it is good enough and it is doubly frustrating as it has gone on so long and shows little sign of changing.
