Sorry, is one of you Chiara Ferragni? If so, which one?

It's appalling that a bunch of psychs can't tell the difference. I have a phobia, and the way I react when it is triggered is fairly unmistakeably phobic. But if my wife says "shall we go for a walk?" and I say "No, don't really feel up to it at the moment" that's a completely different kettle...

Any patients who don't respond to rhubarb will be taken into custardy.

Genius - ask the patient to fill in a questionnaire about how they feel about rhubarb. Smack them with rhubarb. Ask them to fill in a questionnaire about how they feel about rhubarb again. That'll give you plenty of data to claim something about rhubarb with, and that's before you've even...

Anyone mind if I replace the word "groups" with "medical professionals"? Still waiting for those secondary gains. Mind you, it's only been 4.5 years ... The Wesselydrivel from the book above shows the typical reaction to criticism of a certain kind of psychoquack - just diagnose and label the...

If they'd said 1D they might have had a point.

Anyone know if this is a normal salary for such a position, or does BPS pay better?

I'm afraid I haven't, it just keeps causing problems all the time, and I haven't found a solution. Again, I'm afraid I don't. I say left when I mean right, right when I mean left, or sometimes get lucky and pick the right one. The person I'm giving directions to turns right and is surprised to...

Just for balance, I've never been outside western Europe, so ME must have made a special journey to come and get me.

Well here's an interesting business - same finger, a few days later: They appear to be rising to the surface. The one on the right is still under the skin with halo. The middle one is on the surface. The one on the left has I suspect broken through, and the bigger crater above is where 2 were...

When I read that I thought that was what cured her and was looking forward to trying the Weetabix and custard diet to see if it did anything for me. Love custard. Well if someone can get away with marketing that pile of horseshit I reckon I stand a chance with my new cure - TSCT* She was...

To be fair that would be more effective than GET.

NLP? What does that stand for please?

Sorry I probably wasn't too clear. I don't have blisters as in @strategist's photo, I have brown speckles just under the skin, which do not cause the surface to raise or blister. Neither do they rise to the surface, they just hang around where they are, appearing and disappearing. I also tried...

Well until I find an explanation it remains "just one of those things" for me too.

When they started to appear I was intrigued also, but I couldn't find anything by googling, and my skin doctor (who I see every six months since I had a basaliom removed) said "I don't know". I paraphrase, what he actually said was "blah blah stress blah blah". Just fingertips for me. Might...

Allow me to present ...

I wonder who on earth authored that drivel. The fact that the Lancet published it is revealing.

I have three such speckles on my forefinger this morning. I was about to take a photo and upload it, then I realised I would be putting a photo from which my fingerprint could be extracted on the internet so chickened out. Nothing in the cuticles around the nails. They come, stay a while (few...

I have exactly the same. They come and they go. My doctor told me they appear during times of stress. I think that means he doesn't know what they are. But really, my fingertips look exactly the same as that.
