    UK: All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on ME news, 2020 onward

    I used @Lou B Lou 's link in post #113 and got straight through to the article and comments. After a conversation, I think Mr B took up a free subscription offer and logged me into it which is probably why I can access the comments. I think it was a free month offer. Not sure that copyright...

    Link to article in the Times. Lots of comments underneath, most ( not all) sensible and some very well informed. Sean O'Neill has engaged. Excellent comment by Nina Muirhead. Are we on the way to changing the narrative? I can only hope...

    Sleep problems in ME/CFS - discussion thread

    You could be describing my bedtime experience @Michelle, apart from the autumn pattern. I just have such problems sleeping- have tried everything you describe even the modified sleep hygiene which doesn't work. Calming music, boring books etc. Never get 7-8 hours of uninterrupted. A good night...

    UK Parliament: ME/CFS Announcements: Statement by Health Secretary Sajid Javid, 12 May 2022

    I slept through Woman's Hour because my sleep pattern is all over the place at the moment but have just listened on iplayer. It is at the beginning of the programme 0-22 minutes. I can't really find words. It was a superb piece. Thanks to Sean for his bravery. He speaks as well as he writes- so...

    UK Parliament: ME/CFS Announcements: Statement by Health Secretary Sajid Javid, 12 May 2022

    Pleased to see my MP, Sir Ed Davey ( Libdem), in support of the EDM. As party leader (albeit of a small party) I know his time is now more pressured especially with seats in the House to win. Grateful for his ongoing help.

For example there has been a lot of change of personnel recently and it would be useful to know which organisations...

    UK Parliament: ME/CFS Announcements: Statement by Health Secretary Sajid Javid, 12 May 2022

    I don't tweet unfortunately but do subscribe to the Guardian. Have been feeling very cross at their lack of coverage. Once again it looks as if I will be changing my subscription back to the Times with a letter to the Guardian saying this. But where do I get the energy? I don't know why they...

    UK Parliament: ME/CFS Announcements: Statement by Health Secretary Sajid Javid, 12 May 2022

    I agree. I know many on this forum have tried to interest their MP without success but with persistence I think much can be achieved. Of course persistence takes energy which is what most pwme do not have. Sometimes I need to be involved via dictation to Mr B because I simply can't write. For...
