When I read this I went searching and haven't found anything yet. If you are able, could you point me towards some literature about this? Thanks.

During the cold war with real fear of nuclear attacks, at round the age of ten and living in a fundamentalist religious environment, I opined that animals were much nicer and more honest than humans and that the world would be better off without them. The result was the usual fly swatter on...

I had my 6th vaccination two weeks ago - the new Pfizer monovalent XBB.1.5 - and had no side effects, not even the usual sore arm this time.

A cardinal day - wouldn't that be something! Thank you for your lovely poetry, Veronica. Happy New Year :)

A really weird thing happened to me a few months ago. The outer cartilage of one of my ears started oozing clear fluid which ran in a stream down the outer fold for about four days. My ear was very red and swollen. My ear lobe was not affected. About two days after it started, the other ear...

I couldn't make sense of the paper so I googled and found this video on a website that seems to come from Plymouth University. It is the second of the two videos about the Hyland body reprogramming method called The Clinician's Perspective. (The first is by Hyland himself.) I found it so...

If you prefer to not use your own cards, you can buy a credit card at the supermarket. I use a Vanilla Visa card for these occasions. There's a roughly 5% charge in Australia. Additionally, if you want to be completely anonymous for security purposes, Berkeley doesn't need to know your correct...

I'm surprised (well, no I'm not) that ME/CFS is referred to as 'chronic fatigue' in a medical publication. Thank goodness a doctor wrote an excellent reply putting the writer straight.

In the late 1990s my integrative medicine GP took part in an Irish study looking at the effects of Immunovir on ME. I can't remember any details now but it had no effect on me whatsoever.

Welcome to the forum @Woozy . I've driven myself crazy over many years trying to sort it out. Now I'm just waiting it out and alternately guffawing and fuming at all the money wasting psych stuff that keeps coming like a never-ending sewage overflow.

@Hutan - I read it again and noticed one more thing - "That is a subject that a much longer letter than this." It's 9 lines up from point 6.

Wow! I think your letter is terrific. As I was reading through I found a few more typos and a couple of grammar things which you may or may not think are important but I highlighted them in red in anyway. I'm in awe of S4ME and the people who put in so much effort and I am sincerely grateful.

Yes, it must think you've already signed. Maybe clear your cookies and restart your browser?

I wish I had her version of ME so I could be the federal minister for aged care and sport, have three children under two from the looks of them in a TV show (Kitchen Cabinet) I happened to see tonight where she cooked a meal and talked to the show host in the evening and said she had to get up...

Just a reminder about Norman Swan and his medical business interest: "Norman Swan is a co-founder of the huge Tonic Health Media organization which aims to bring very basic health information to the masses. The leaflets and film clips played in doctors' surgeries and exercise programs in...

After spluttering in impotent fury for years over the religious tenacity of these people who seem to have no insight into their own stuck beliefs, I happened to find this article which explains it, to me at least. Why these influential psychologists, of all people, do not question their own...

Thank you:)

Why do you say this? I'm asking because it's been suggested in the past by my GP as a possible treatment for my 24/7 headache.

Nice to read a good description of life with ME from the ABC. No picture of a swooning young thing either:thumbup: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-09-09/why-mecfs-is-nothing-like-everyday-fatigue/102776070

Pardon my ignorance but isn't leaky gut a myth perpetuated bu naturopaths and the like, and not a real condition. I'm excluding actual diseases that make cause it - in rats - so I've read.
