With NICE's reputation being questioned, I have gone nuclear. Please retweet etc. No one else seems interested in telling this story.

Yes, that's it—well put. Complete lack of subtlety, nuance, and humility.

Yep, important to warn of potential harms. I've not seen much of that. I believe my trigger was in part erroneously being prescribed amoxicillin for what was likely a trivial viral illness. I still believe antibiotic use might be playing a large role in onset of ME in some patients.

Nope. It's all presented as fact. Lot's of claims of "this is why" and "this is how to stop that". I have called them out on this on Twitter. EDIT: e.g., here on PEM: I'm afraid they are.

I really wish I didn't have to spend my time doing stuff like this.

Remission Biome is essentially PhoenixRising on steroids. There's a lot of nonsense being pushed. They seem to just ingest any rudimentary science and based on that push extremely expensive interventions that 95% of patients would never be able to afford.

Well, no, but based on the title I didn't expect just CBT/GET peddling.

Well, that was a pile of shite, but thanks ayway @EndME

I'm getting a security warning from that site. I did try other sci hub sites but they were down. Can you post the PDF? Thanks.

Can anyone provide a PDF of this BMJ editorial. Thanks. https://www.bmj.com/content/350/bmj.h2087.full

I just started this video and the first claim—that delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after a workout is caused (primarily) by lactic acid—seems to have been debunked a while back.

TV docs looks very different from stuff like Voices From The Shadows. There are production companies who do this day-in-day-out for TV and know the format and recipe. It could be an idea to pitch to some of them who have made docs on similar topics before. I don't know enough about how the...

my body disagrees.

This is the second time we've seen this in a week. What is going on?

No, that's why I used quotation marks!

Suddenly ME/CFS is no longer 'a rare disease'.

Are you able to ask your friend for further details i.e., how they know about said programme?

I agree. I highly doubt that a recent Panorama episode was made without anyone in the UK world of ME knowing about it. Please don't take my skepticism personally. Happy to rescind it on any evidence of said programme!

Thanks for all your comments so far. Remember this is just a (potential) story pitch, and I imagine that generally once a story is pitched via email (for example) that person is not involved in whatever is produced. So I have not considered potential interviewees etc, because it's highly...

Yes, this could be an alternative story/angle that would perhaps negate the need to dive into the controversy about PACE etc.
