Love to see that as a control arm.

There is nothing in my pre-ME experience that provides a good analogy to ME. The concepts and words to accurately describe it in a way that those who not experienced it can meaningfully grasp just don't exist yet. Closest I have seen is that ME is like having a bad flu (without the cold part)...

Not working for me either.

Certainly generates income for the Church of FND.

Same as when Wessely (?) interprets the high rate of depression as evidence that it is a psych disorder, not that very physically sick patients are being subject to serious neglect & abuse by leading psychs, the medical profession, and broader society. Nah, couldn't possibly be that, sayeth Sir...

Obviously the answer to a therapy failing to work is to double the dose. :rolleyes:

Good point.

Just another of the apparently endless stream of internal contradictions in the BPS model.

Thanks for this, @Russell Fleming. Needs to be said, and you said it well. I also have to deal with many of the same issues. It is no fun. :grumpy:

More than a little ironic that the profession charged with understanding the psycho-social aspect of health and informing the rest of us about it and how to manage it, are the very ones who either fail to understand it or actively use that understanding to obfuscate and delay proper...

The main thing I know about Pinker is that he seems to love academic brawling.

There are no words to describe how cruel these bastards are. :mad::mad::mad:

Sorry to hear your story, Luna. It is important that it is told. That stuff could well be the core of any legal case against them. There is no way they can say there is definitely no possibility of physical harm from GET. That is reckless and fraudulent. This to the power of infinity. They...

Fair points, @Mithriel & @feeb.

That is my view. Your own body is ultimately the best teacher, and you will not always have technological aids to assist you in judging the threshold. Best to learn how to do it via bodily signals and sensations. You know, the complete opposite of what the CBT/GET crowd 'advise'. Not even sure...

I have never been symptom-free since the day I got sick. Just doesn't happen. There is no baseline.

Coz the most humble people always make sure everybody knows they are. :rolleyes:

Apparently it can. :grumpy:
