    Public Why Is Psychiatry So Defensive About Criticism? By Philip Hickey, PhD

    Agreed. My reaction after reading Part 1 & 2 was I'd hate to hear his opinion on ME. Soon, my curiosity getting the best of me, I googled Philip Hickey & ME & CFS Nothing. Phew.

    Covid-19 vaccination experiences

    Haven't been following this thread but thought it might be worthwhile to post a positive experience. Had a Moderna booster two days ago and grateful to be back or close to back to baseline today. Far lighter reaction than my 2nd vac of the same. Very sorry and best wishes for improvement soon...

    Ric Arseneau, Clinical professor of internal medicine, University of British Columbia, Canada

    Thank you @Hutan The thread does give me some background. I remember excitedly watching Dr Nacul's presentation and following this got my family doctor to send in a referral to the CCDP.

    New Zealand: Covid-19 vaccinations for people with ME/CFS

    This is something I've been wondering about. This isn't in relation to vaccines but is there any information on how people with ME who catch Covid fare in comparison to people who are healthy previous to catching Covid. I guess there would be so many factors involved it would be difficult to...

    Webinar: Massachusetts ME/CFS & FM research update - 23 October 2021

    Thank you @Hutan (in the Intramural study) This was confusing but my understanding was that they weren't all necessarily misdiagnosed. Think people were also taken out of the study if it was found that they had another illness or condition in addition to ME. As mentioned above Nath said that...

    Here's where she talks about CFS & fatigue. "Long COVID shares similarities to chronic fatigue syndrome, and some patients infected during the SARS outbreak almost two decades ago also developed longer-term side effects. But, according to the Ontario Science Table report, Post COVID-19...

    News from Canada

    Yesterday's Globe and Mail had an article on Long COVID focusing on the importance of vaccinations in reducing risk of Long COVID. This is good but there are some major problems with the article, the easiest to fix is that the it equates chronic fatigue syndrome with fatigue - not a multi system...
