    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    Maybe they were involved to some extent…. I sadly once worked with someone who contacted interpol regarding what they believed to be a fraudulent sick note from an overseas clinic. Their involvement was to very politely tell him this isn’t their remit. I can only hope it gave them a good laugh...

    UK: Disability benefits (UC, ESA and PIP) - news and updates 2024 and 2025

    It seems she just wants everyone who is severe and gets pip to answer that they are severe and get pip? I’m sorry but I don’t understand the aim of this, if that’s all she wants to know she could have added a voting button. I think the chances of all PIP ME claimants responding to this are low...

    He’s screaming into an echo chamber which is becoming a void and his relevance is decreasing

    2025: UK MEA Article and Video: ME/CFS: What you need to know about the disease

    There are a category of approx 20 people who apparently have been helped by GET or Brain Training or LP or that Chiropractor thing, they never STFU about it, you should have no trouble working out who they are or what treatment they are promoting.

    UK: Disability benefits (UC, ESA and PIP) - news and updates 2024 and 2025

    Well sometimes you can’t appeal. If you’re claiming only one area should be 4 but you got a 2, there’s no material difference in the award so even on an error of law you wouldn’t be granted an appeal.

    How to read while lying completely flat?

    I have just bought one of these stands for £15. So far I love it! It is lightweight, not sure it would survive being dropped/chucked about but it holds the iPad firmly, you can adjust the angle it’s held at (the gubbins are like gears so it stays in place well) I’m a bit of a fatty so it just...

    Many of us have it, you’d think there would be some biological evidences?

    United Kingdom: News from #There for ME

    We do know how many are affected by the proposed cuts, and the % of those with fatigue related disorders as their main reason for claiming PIP. It’s on the benefits thread, I can’t recall the figures but we do know.

    Pathophysiology of sleep disturbances/unrefreshing sleep in pwME?

    Do we know why we get reverse sleeping? My pattern is sleep 4/5am through to 12/1pm it does change about at times (such as if I get a migraine and sleep all day, or am woken up a lot and go to bed early rather than nap). So my sleep has reversed, fine, I can cope with that, I made myself so...

    Warning over patients left on antidepressants for decades

    Well, obviously people shouldn’t be on antidepressants. I’m not saying depression isn’t real, but you do find that it’s people who think they’re depressed that take them. If I feel a bit down I go out for a walk. I don’t wallow in it and perpetuate it. Also, young people are inventing mental...

    Doctor's letters - personality evaluations

    Yes, note where I wasn’t….I don’t think they were allowed to write “you know that Michael Douglas film where he can’t get a hash brown in Macdonalds and goes “postal” on a violent gun rampage, she reminded me of that”

    Using time diaries to inform occupational therapy practice for people with [ME/CFS]: An exploratory study, 2025, Roxburgh et al

    Maybe they’re auditioning for X-factor and giving it 101% Isn’t 42% of time asleep quite a lot? Doesn’t the average person sleep about 35% (8 ish hours) and this is closer to 10 who has a job where they work less than an hour a day these averages are just skewed nonsense aren’t they

    Using time diaries to inform occupational therapy practice for people with [ME/CFS]: An exploratory study, 2025, Roxburgh et al

    Can you imagine the reaction of a psychiatrist if they heard you were rigidly monitoring yourself to this extent? Sounds like type-A personality and perfectionism is at play!

    Using time diaries to inform occupational therapy practice for people with [ME/CFS]: An exploratory study, 2025, Roxburgh et al

    If only people would follow these regimented rules about how to divide up their time and energy. Then the researchers could do an evaluation on what difference it makes, they could study the degree of improvement That could be measured against the effort expended to prove its worth doing!!!But...

    Doctor's letters - personality evaluations

    I have been pleasant and well-presented, from urology to gynaecology, ENT to psychiatry. I have also just been a “young lady” to rheumatology and psychiatry. They all do it, its code for “normal” or “unlikely to have been a guest on Jerry Springer/Jeremy Kyle” or “she turned up and Ive nothing...

    It appeared to be badly-thought through. Now we have confirmation that it was.

    Paul Garner on Long Covid and ME/CFS - BMJ articles and other media.

    Amazing that he ever questioned whether it actually was PEM, given that it was so inconsistent for him and that more exercise didn’t induce it….
