Not worried, just buggered if I'm giving them my phone number, so I'll let other people play with it, feed it with data and tell me about it.

Timo Strotmann on Twitter: "We plan to hold protests in front of the institution of the European Union in the future. For this we need many more pictures of EU citizens with #LongCovid & #MECFS. Please support us! "

They have been delivering false hope since 2016. I find their grand promises of a breakthrough just around the corner (usually trumpeted for the following year) unnecessary and tiresome. https://www.s4me.info/threads/open-medicine-foundation-omf.11075/page-6#post-316086...

Hadn't noticed that their official slogan includes "Delivering Hope." I expect somebody thinks this is a good thing.

Derek Hatton?

Today in the @SZ : a guest article by psychosomatics expert Peter Henningsen on #LongCovid https://sueddeutsche.de/kultur/long-covid-psychsomatik-therapie-1.5751788 (€). In it he criticizes that his discipline is put in the "dirty corner" and emphasizes ... The headline of the article in the...

The comments under that article on the website are unanimously ungrateful.

Who is looking after all these people with long covid? Could there be a large number of healthy employable people who have had to switch to becoming a carer, part or full-time, for a long covid sufferer? On another point, there has just been a report in the German news that actually there are...

About a year before I considered myself an ME sufferer, or had even heard of it, I started noticing that sport didn't seem to do anything for me any more (I had always done a lot of sport, enjoyed it and felt great afterwards). No more healthy glow after a day's cycling or a workout in the...

Well I thought it was a good article, highlighting the impossible hurdles and complete lack of support severe ME sufferers face, and what happens when somebody can be bothered to make heaven and earth move to organise the support needed. Thankfully it included the right provisos: And the...

Is there a way to read the article without registering and paying a euro? One of my students forwarded the link to me today, which was nice.

Are her vitamins not prescribed in the form of pills? Has she not been on her own prescription pill-popping path over the years? It seems her main difference with the GMC is in the type of pills to be popped, and the fact that she considers the GMC 's conduct to be unbecoming.

Well if she doesn't like it she can stop producing potions and casting spells can't she.

Freude is joy. Schadenfreude is gloating at someone else's misfortune, but that's a special case. Normal Freude is just joy. Fraud is Betrug. You can mash as many German words together as you like, so Betrugsfreude would be the joy of fraud. I expect a number of our more persistent quack...

It seems to want my phone number

Hasn't everyone on the planet learnt to feel tired within a few hours of being born, and remembered to feel tired every night since then? What on earth is this twit talking about? Is he saying it can be unlearnt so that we can all be productive 24 hours a day?

Horsteria? I was a fan of Matthew Syed, read his books and listened to his podcasts, then went off him, can't remember why. He did a very good podcast episode about the Stockholm Syndrome, completely debunking it. It was of course made up by a psychologist who had never spoken to any of the...

I've just started with a new doctor, who seemed interested about ME. When I told her the above, she asked if I'd like my kidneys given a thorough looking at. Not quite sure what she means by that, but I've an appointment in the next few weeks for whatever examinations she has in mind. Also a...

"frankly unprofessional"? Surely he knows that the correct parlance is "unbecoming"? They only have a few tricks in their bag - never respond to the substance of anything, just label your critics as mean, unprofessional, vitreolic and take it from there.

I've been following this thread for 29 pages and I still haven't seen anyone answer a question yet. It seems to be just a performance.
