    Psychology Today blog - The Dark Side of Social Media Activism in Science, 2019, S. Camarata

    I think.one of the most compelling pieces of advocacy was @Emsho ' s testimony at the Scottish parliament, particularly the part when she describes GET ( walking in and wheelchair out and being considered recovered) If someone has the technical skills to snip the video to this part as a reply...

    Is the old boy network working overtime? Pinker was in uk recently ( he did appear on a TV panel show and was not particularly impressive) For a specialist in language nuances should really be better understood.

    UK - The Young ME Sufferers (TYMES) Trust

    Oh to have been a fly on the wall at the safeguarding seminar earlier this year/ late last year. This may account for much as FII seems to have ramped up since. We touched upon it in a thread CFS was a designated subject , delivered by someone from Bath/ Bristol ( name escapes me - Rachel?)...

    Stanford Community Symposium 2018: Phair, Metabolic traps, Tryptophan trap

    Has the role of NO linked gene expression been considered relative to instigatng bistability in IDO1/ IDO2 pathways? My understanding is that NO inhibits IDO activity by preventing oxidixation of TRP Is this a link to the sepsis similarities?

    Stanford Community Symposium 2018: Phair, Metabolic traps, Tryptophan trap

    I hope I have not mislead/ confused. I don't t know if Craig Robertson has pitched this molecularly. It simply strikes me as an explanation for the relapse and remitting aspect and the similarities re catastrophe/ instability are striking, even to a non mathematician. Interestingly similar...

    Cochrane Review: 'Exercise therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome' 2017, Larun et al. - Recent developments, 2018-19

    Does " Montgomery v north lanarkshire" ruling apply to physios ? The physio we saw was completely uninformed re ME, conflated with chronic fatigue, no knowledge of use of hear monitors, oi issues, what PEM actually is. When is lack of knowledge a defence when there is so much info outside their...

    Use of trackers for Parkinson’s patients

    Microchips for alzheimer's- interact with heating system and avoid use of manual controls to provide suitable temperature - this has already been proposed (!) ( my cousins daughter has her art masters portfolio on a microchip in her hand - her theme was cybernetics) Smart meter data has...

    The IDO Metabolic Trap Hypothesis for the Etiology of ME/CFS 2019 Kashi, Davis, Phair.

    Has degree been modelled - ie upstream and downstream effects of various levels of inhibition of various cell types susceptible to the "trap"; this is a systems condition - it is how this may affect other processes and mechanisms by degree that is the interesting bit. It never ceases to amaze...

    A Life Hidden - Blog posts by Naomi Whittingham

    The prose, as ever, is beautiful. The sense of loss is tangible. The oxymoron of happiness and grief a poignant reminder of how much this illness strips away. I'm so glad you have managed outside, it gives those in gilded bedroom cages hope. Thank you.

    Machine Learning-assisted Research on ME/CFS

    Magnesium is the one supplement that is instantly noticeable if we miss it. It is key to so many reactions. Lower core body temperature probably doesn't help either

    How can I persuade my dad to get a stairlift?

    Sorry to hear this @Sarah94 . We had a close relative who was entirely disbelieving until they watched Unrest. ( it is a good advocacy film for general public) That said they now feel awkward and don't engage much.

    Future proofs your home - you are not the only one who may use it. Promotes independence and underpins potential for improvement for you - the avoidance of PEM may help you even out a activity and actually achieve more in the long run
