This was almost 30 years ago. The doctor was respected integrated medicine physician who treated CFS and FM at that time. I searched magnesium intravenous infusion in Australia and found that it is used in regular pain clinics as well as other types of clinics. I don't know whether to laugh...

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. About $10k AUD worth of t- shirt. I had a bad reaction to Mg infusions with plummeting blood sugar. It was quickly fixed by a slice of plain cake. The craving for plain cake was intense. Luckily there was a cake shop close to the doctor's office. I've...

I think Kitty is right about it knocking your confidence and I can imagine the older you are the more that would be true. I had a hip replacement about 3 years ago and I was very surprised about how careful I felt I needed to be for the first few weeks, mainly going up and down steps. I didn't...

The Victorian Chief Health Officer is responsible for providing advice to the state government about anything and everything to do with public health and well-being. The government can take this advice or not. It can assign the CHO powers and take them away as it wants. Brett Sutton was...

Great video and just what I need to send to someone I was trying to explain exactly this to only yesterday. I've also written a number of emails to journalists and news outlets lately about it. I'll include your video in future. Thank you @Adam pwme

Hi Ollie. After many years of disappointments and wasted energy, and a large amount of money down the drain thanks to ME/CFS GPs, I agree completely with Hutan. All the best to you and your partner.

Thank you @ME/CFS Skeptic . I really appreciate your work.

Here's the link to the Brunel mood test if anyone wants to bother. It's very quick and you can get your score on the spot. https://www.moodprofiling.com/sportscale.php The advice for fatigue includes splashing your face with water. I've never seen that one written down before.

She lists ADHD as a psychiatric disease. Well, in such a simplistic contortion this article is, it had to be slotted in somewhere.

I just watched the youtube critique. This man is my new hero! He went at my non-scientist speed with his explanation and I understood the whole lot without glazing over and giving up. It looks like such a basic mistake I don't understand why it wasn't picked up before publication, let alone by...

I had my first Shingrix vaccination last week. For the first time ever I had a reaction to a vaccine, not counting sore arms. I felt very unwell for about 15 hours then I was fine. No big deal but it was a surprise. After just noticing this new thread -...

"Five of the 6 patients with restrictive eating behaviour reported a reduced appetite." It has always been my understanding that people with anorexia nervosa experience hunger and have an appetite. (https://www.therecoveryvillage.com/mental-health/anorexia/history-of-anorexia/)

It's written by their in-house psychologist Mavish Sikander, who "is a BABCP Accredited CBT and EMDR Therapist and CBT Clinical Lead at Psymplicity". Highly paid too I imagine. Someone should put Mavish and her employer straight. Psympletons!

Well, from the short snippets, that plunky harp sounds like a beginner playing a boring exercise. I would give it a D and that's being generous. The cello sounds like endless vibrato exercises. The same few notes of the same tone quality seem to be played randomly over and over and over but...

@ Art Vandelay . I also left a comment but it's somewhat too late now - the article is off the front page. There's one objection to chronic fatigue by someone called Smart Cookie. It amazes me that there's not mass outrage! My comments often don't appear for some reason.

I've watched the first 30 minutes and I'm very glad I did. At last the random pieces relating to the variety of MUS terminology, problematic research, poor study design etc. have fallen into place like the final stages a jigsaw puzzle when you eventually start to see the whole picture. Thanks...

Good to be reassured by the effectiveness and safety findings. I'm about to take the huge financial plunge and have the two Shingrix vaccinations. The protection from both infection and post-herpetic neuralgia is far superior. According to nps.org.au, the older vaccine, Zostavax, is only 51%...

I only use paypal so I've been frustrated about making these donations until just now when I had the bright idea of using a Visa gift card. I did it completely anonymously with false personal details etc. and it was accepted. I used a 10 minute email address and received confirmation of payment...

I had the same dilemma in hospital last year. The ventilation system was sucking air out at a great rate, if the roaring noise and the streamers near it were anything to go by, so I decided it was safe enough.
