    United Kingdom: ME Association news

    I have issues with my sentence construction and grammar. So does the person who wrote this webpage. The difference is they didn’t get a second and third opinion before pressing send. It’s very poor English.

    United Kingdom: Dr Suzanne O’Sullivan (BPS neurologist)

    I hope she’s able to think on what label I have for her opinions masquerading as fact. It starts with g and has 8 letters. I’ve a special detector for this sort of thing.

    United Kingdom: National Health Service (NHS) news

    Nothing says public sector like centralising a decentralised service, which used to be centralised!

    How a neuroscientist solved the mystery of his own long COVID

    Man who works in neuroscience fails to cure own disability; is praised for curing own disability. We can all write daft headlines.

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

    Well I think the pandemic led to a lot of people becoming disabled and unable to work. You don’t like the fact that it’s disabled people in its thousands, to the extent they can’t work, therefore you’re going to make them poor so they have to work. I mean the alternative would be to help them...

    United Kingdom: ME Association governance issues

    We’ve all got ME, sometimes the brain doesn’t brain. If anyone can understand that, it’s us. A simple admission of making an error is fine. It’s the behaviours that caused the biggest problem.

    Language Matters: What Not to Say to Patients with Long COVID, ME/CFS, and Other Complex Chronic Disorders, 2025, Nancy J. Smyth et al

    P D White diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia and recommended GET and CBT back in these days. “Luckily” the physio dept wasn’t actually set up for GET (I had two sessions; 1. Do these exercises. 2. Did you do them? Ok, just keep doing them and increase the reps) I just had the psychological warfare...

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

    Just to let you know, when UC ask for your documents they look at them and often delete them. I’ve had to upload the same letter 5 times so far as they keep getting my housing payment wrong and each time they look into it, the letter has been deleted “for GDPR”. And every time they ask, they...

    I think they said they have Board Members with ME = lived experience. But the MEA has the same and look how Neil Riley turned out!

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

    I took my medical notebook with me. I’ve had it since I worked, it lists notes of conversations with the GP etc but also all the adjustments etc I had at work in the past, it was quite useful.

    United Kingdom: News from BACME - British Association of Clinicians in ME/CFS

    Their own pages clearly state that they are an organisation of clinicians working in ME/CFS so are they representing us even though we wouldn’t be allowed to join as we’re not clinicians or working in ME/CFS?????

    Oh really? Honestly sometimes you need to step away from the internet. Not everyone will agree with you all of the time.

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

    For me the WCA process was really good (much better than PIP) they did make me travel 1hr to the place to be assessed, but that was ok as I was a sweaty shaky wreck. After the assessment I asked for a place to lie down, they had medical exam type beds in the rooms so I had a good rest before the...

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

    My appeal found I can cook using aids. Not sure what aids they have in mind as I described why a variety of common cooking aids like perch stool, good grips etc wouldn’t help me, and nothing can aid me chopp8ng or cooking from a lying down position. I believe this is an error in law, apparently...
