    A unifying theory for cognitive abnormalities in functional neurological disorders, Fibromyalgia and CFS (2018), Mark J Edwards et al.

    Well I didn't need to read past the first sentence ... What does "in the absence of an organic cause" mean? There was an absence of an organic cause for stomach ulcers. Until there wasn't. Get in the lab and do some work instead of hypothesising and making up new mental disorders.

    BBC Newsbeat: M.E. And Me - documentary available from Tuesday 8th May, 6am

    I'd like to see this: Replaced by this: "a small group of ideologically driven morally bankrupt insurance industry and government henchpersons on the make" or something similar.

    One side effect of being young, female and sick: People won’t believe you

    Mr Junk Bond and Mr Boo Hoo Snowflake have probably had it drilled into them for free by their obliging employers. What a great perk - being sent on a course on bad manners and lack of empathy at the company's expense. Sorry, I mean a course on positive thinking, accepting personal...

    One side effect of being young, female and sick: People won’t believe you

    These comments are just so much free entertainment I'm reading them all. Imagine if this was your entire literary output for the day: What kind of a ... ?

    One side effect of being young, female and sick: People won’t believe you

    This had me laughing hysterically: The guy has no idea that he is a parodic cliche. Having left the City 27 years ago, I'd forgotten that dicks like that exist. Mind you this wasn't so funny: I had forgotten that in some cultures (offices in the financial industry for example) empathy is...

    Q&A with Prof Chris Ponting May 2018

    If the implication of this is that I'm supposed to give a flying f*** about anything the Dalai Lama says, then I disagree.

    Breast cancer screening programme 'does more harm than good'

    Showing as the first one in the list for me. That's the one. Smart chap.

    Breast cancer screening programme 'does more harm than good'

    Those local elections results on Thursday in the UK must have been more interesting than I thought.

    Breast cancer screening programme 'does more harm than good'

    But it keeps converting itself to this:

    Breast cancer screening programme 'does more harm than good'

    I have no idea why I can't add the link to the bbc news site, it keeps changing into a media image and it's driving me nuts. Normal service may be resumed somehow. EDIT: Copy and paste this link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-44016206

    Blog: Department for Snakes and Ladders?

    That article rang a lot of bells and made me feel very uncomfortable.

    Forskning.no (Norway) - ME-sick psychologist: I'm not the type to get ME, I thought

    So if an individual is impacted by their biology, biological solutions please. If an individual is impacted by economic / social factors, then economic / social solutions please. Since when did psychological solutions become the standard for fixing problems caused by social / economic /...

    Wesselys Mental Health review could also replace Mental Capacity Act

    When the government appoints Sir Simon to conduct an independent review into mental health legislation, it's a bit like Donald Trump appointing a doctor to conduct an independent review of his health. Guess what? The UK's mental health provision is astonishingly excellent. Extraordinary. It's...

    Forskning.no (Norway) - ME-sick psychologist: I'm not the type to get ME, I thought

    That's nearly true, but just needs a small edit to remove "one-sided":

    Updates from the UK ME/CFS Biobank / CureME team

    Not any more, sadly, since they started blocking VPNs. Or at least, I haven't found a way :(.

    Electroconvulsive Therapy

    An interesting perspective on ECT, in which our good friend Edward Shorter gets a mention: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20180502-the-surprising-benefits-of-electroshock-therapy-or-ect

    Norwegian health authorities classify Lightning Process as alternative treatment

    Sorry for repeating the same pic - but the last time I did it at the other place, after a while when you did a google search for EC, it was one of the first pictures that turned up, which amused me.
