I can watch the official video with the main segment in Germany no problem.

Thank you. I'm hoping that when I'm well enough, @Jonathan Edwards will join me on a tour of northern working mens' clubs to perform our "Snow White" sketch: https://www.s4me.info/threads/david-bell-about-slow-sepsis-in-me.1900/#post-33289

Sue medics init ?

Not when I see the name Per Fink. Excuse me while I apply a simple heuristic.

Thanks for that.

@alex3619 - I seem to remember you have an interest in Gigerenzer?

I was teaching a lawyer last week, who was telling me about how she had fired a client, because the client never listened, never took her advice or stuck to what they agreed was the best approach, and kept doing google searches and coming to appointments with printouts supporting her view of...

When I have PEM (not for a while now thankfully) I move my head instead of my eyes. Never really thought about why, I suppose it must be because moving my eyes becomes more effort than moving my head.

Ben Goldacre's words have been quoted back to him many times, his hypocrisy (in not calling out his mentor Simon Wessely's defence of the PACE trial) is evident, but unfortunately no-one's interested. I'd be interested in your opinion of Gerd Gigerenzer's view (in his book "Risk Savvy") - he...

Hi @NeilH, thank you for joining the forum and welcome :). I accept that your article was a personal account, and I agree with a lot of the very good points you make, about pacing, acceptance of your new life, and avoiding quackery and nonsense. I have read the whole article and don't mean to...

The act of being born is so traumatic that we never recover from it.

I didn't think of Moby Dick, but it did remind me of this: So I think "a man called David Tuller" actually sounds quite heroic ...

Unfortunately, although that may be true, what these treatments work on, ie their concept of ME, is very far removed from the illness I have. In fact it is a concept which they seem to have invented without reference to me or any other ME sufferers. They also have their own concept of "work"...

Especially considering that biopsychosocial bare-faced flannel is hardly in short supply.

"It is believed that ..." Why the passive verb - who is doing the believing? And why? Evidence? Causal mechanism? And why do these believers get to put people in wheelchairs and then believe it's nothing to do with them? And get away with calling it science? Can't they just go away and start a...

Consistently ;)

I will ask my wife to tickle my ears.
