I like the spelling of SW's name in this tweet.

This isn't electric, but they are very warm : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09PKPGWJY The only colour they have available at the moment is pink but they sometimes have black, grey, navy blue, green, or burgundy. [Edit : I bought myself a pink one - I wouldn't recommend it - it's bubblegum...

More money-making for private companies who make apps?

I was prescribed anti-depressants repeatedly during my 20s, 30s, and 40s. I think women usually are treated for depression when they say they are in pain, rather than being treated for pain itself. Yes, I was depressed. But the main component of that depression was from having untreated severe...

In the link given by @Sly Saint above there are now two comments : https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/chronic-pain-nhs-opiods-sleeping-pills-b2293589.html One commenter resorted to seeing a private doctor to get the pain relief he needed. The other commenter refers to him being able to...

@CRG Thank you. I would never have guessed that.

Has that ever worked in medicine?

What does that mean? "Skin-restricted lupus patients" ? What is skin-restriction? I've found lots of reference to it, but none actually explain what the name actually means.

I feel the same.

My brother got scratched by a cat and developed cat scratch disease. He ended up in hospital on intravenous antibiotics for a few days. I am not aware there were any long-term after effects of it - but then to the best of my knowledge he doesn't have ME. (We aren't close.)

Since the origin of ME is often believed to be viral or due to viral persistence I thought this might be of interest : Abstract Introduction Evidence points to viral infections as possible triggers of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), but little is known about the prevalence of common...

If Garner becomes an LP practitioner he will get swept up in remarks that say LP is a cult which harms people and teaches them to lie. We won't even have to mention him any more, just say "anyone who is an LP practitioner...". His descent into quackery and pseudoscience will be very obvious.

An article saying that people should be worried about chatGPT because it is a privacy nightmare : https://theconversation.com/chatgpt-is-a-data-privacy-nightmare-if-youve-ever-posted-online-you-ought-to-be-concerned-199283

It occurred to me that it wouldn't be difficult for a fan of the BPS crowd to do this to someone using treatment methods they disapprove of.

Is it just my imagination or is that conclusion written in such a way as to nudge people into assuming that somatic symptoms arising during a pandemic that has killed nearly 7 million people are caused by mental distress rather than by being physically ill? Dyspnea is the medical term for...

I agree. Think of all those stories of people performing heroic, and painful, deeds to save their loved ones in accidents or disasters. Do they notice the pain with all the adrenaline going? No, they don't.

I don't know, sorry. I've sent you his name by PM.

I just read some of the comments on that article. There aren't many of the commenters I can take seriously. There is one respondent in particular who pops up on almost every comment and is very annoying. Imagine a scenario where someone has a car accident and is impaled on a fence post through...

Another factor is that when the NHS is finally killed off (it's currently in its death throes) and patients in the UK have to pay for any and every contact with the health service, people with problems classified as mental health issues will struggle to get any social security payments at all if...
