Hopefully they've got a system in place to stop people turning up to be vaccinated for the 10th time. All sorts of scams possible.

Judicial Review Bill being introduced to parliament today...

Did she happen to improve whilst she was going through it? (I should know that, but I can't bring myself to read it, sorry). I think the attraction of this kind of stuff is that you get to adopt a new vocabulary, complicated explanations, be privy to a body of knowledge, and preach the gospel...

It wouldn't surprise me if joining Voices of Recovery and writing something positive became a condition of doing an LP course, or part of the process to show your commitment and not incur the wrath and public humiliation of the trainer. So seen from that perspective (and I think it's a fair...

From the website: That really isn't how time management works. In fact "Do it now!" the cause of the problem - Are you getting overwhelmed by the feeling that you have to do everything now? You can't do it all now, stop feeling you have to, get organised instead. Try a time management course...

And another thing ... this probably isn't going to be the last pandemic or the worst one, so they'd better pull their finger out before the next virus comes along, or they'll have millions of long covid sufferers saying "Well if you'd taken us seriously at the time, you wouldn't be in this mess."

Well I've just watched the panorama program. Galling in the extreme to hear patients and experts unanimously calling it a new illness. The virus guy will be surprised if most people don't recover within a couple of years (based on what he knows about other post viral conditions), and expects to...

Glad you bloody told her.

:rofl: I'm pinching that remark and shall be passing it off as my own often.

She obviously thought you'd try hard enough to phone her. Maybe you could have proven her right by not trying? The answer to that is that it's not just work, PWME also don't try hard enough to have hobbies or a social life or do anything they used to enjoy. As getting-out-of-work scams go...

Perhaps because they're sick of a system that they feel pressures them into behaving like that if they want to get on?

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is what it is known as in Germany. That's what's on my diagnosis from the Charite. M.E. is barely used by anybody.

Indeed.

@Valerie Eliot Smith can I ask why is copyrighted already?

Trying to agree what it is various PWME and their organisations want to say could be a divisive nightmare. Arguing about definitions with the "true ME" brigade? People attributing causes or views on "what is known" which others aren't comfortable with? I have concerns about trying to beat the...

Reminds me of the online poker boom when various cheats and even casinos were caught out by dedicated players who got the data and knew what to do with it. Also online chess sites are good at catching cheats. For some reason it really matters to gamers. Those who don't follow the rules and play...

Psychiatry/Psychology seem to be attractive options for those who like being right more often than everyone else. Especially those who like being right without having to think much. Perhaps it's time for a study on the personality traits of those who chose a career in psychology. The whole field...

Oh FFS.

I watched it yesterday with my wife. I appreciate that it was made and hope it will increase awareness. However I found it impossible to watch from the point of view of someone who doesn't have ME or is new to the subject, and as I have seen a few films showing the daily routines of PWME...

I don't know anything about this issue, but just reading the paper, I was struck how Sharpe, White and Wesseley could read it and identify with Kathy Flegel, and claim that exactly the same thing had happened to them. All the things that were said about Flegel's paper are things that we have...
