Me my dad and nephew all have breathing issues around moulds as well as fungal spores especially open soils and woodland. Damp buildings are bad for everyone though. So I absolutely know mould is a massive problem for health. But most of us can’t go and live in the desert. Also I’ve heard the...

Hello I can’t help you with your specific question because my memory is so bad. But I would think that some of the lists and descriptions for ME rather than CFS from CCC or ICC/ICC or summary descriptions/observed symptom patterns from main biomedical research bodies or charities (careful with...

Some of your finest analysis, I treasure this.

:emoji_fire: Myth of progress.

No not at all. I wasn’t clear first time. And you’re right of course it’s all awful. I do have a particular distaste for the not quite mea culpa that will not die on this one. How almost everyone (though thinking now of Philip Hammond in particular..) can say “we’ve come so far remember when”...

Hey sorry @Trish. I was being flippant. I meant okay rather sarcastically compared to how bad it can get. It troubles me that charities and media and medics alike mention Yuppie flu as if it’s the worst that was on offer. Also that it is referred to so often as a measure of progress. ‘We don’t...

I do remember something about Clitoris v Vaginal orgasms and how this would reveal the emotional and mental maturity level of a woman involved. I do also remember women themselves and other scientists having something to say about this. I wonder if this hypothesis has influenced our researchers...

Does anyone think it may be possible that the women subjected to this assessment may not be able to describe their emotions as clearly as these researchers expect, because women can actually read the room quite well. Women understand the hostility and contempt with which they are viewed by...

Yup @Mithriel. Yuppie flu was a okay. Not too personal not too perverted. Also had the advantage that it didn’t really exist. Not outside of media as far as I can tell, though I wasn’t there for it’s creation so can’t be sure. It is too hard to hope at this point. I am with you there.

MEA not the quickest to acknowledge organisational mistakes or missteps. Even the really trivial stuff. Like when people got confused by the wordings of one of MEAs twitter polls. MEA did change it but only after publicly expressing mild annoyance with all the people who were politely...

Yeah. Difficult for the average lay person to imagine another motivation outside of malevolence, victim blaming and or economic self interest. However give me some funding and I will gladly explore this area ‘thinking outside the box’ as is my area of expertise. ;)

Would be interested to know the answer to your first question. I feel I am in position to proffer a provisional answer to the second question. If I may be so bold. An extended search in this area following null result wouldn’t immediately suggest the utility of a repeat effort. So some other...

I guess one could justify such intrusive assessments of patients general character and personality and using these to make generalised conclusions, by suggesting ones rational for doing so is in order to assess whether or not it is worth putting people through this surgical procedure, based on a...

I know right? I was imagining this person enraging everyone that they encounter. Possibly solely responsible for all these threats we hear so much about? But of course that is not the kind of danger they would pose. When they say you don’t win people over with shouting but with diplomacy, yet...

To me the it’s the ‘economically challenged area’ aspect that makes it a whole lot worse. In this case building ‘resilience’ might be laughing you poverty house less ness and bleak prospects away instead of having access good quality housing medical and social care and all the good stuff you...

I think probably not a newbie.

I haven’t read the full post yet but I’ve read both the emails at issue. The first makes an assertion that VES has demonstrated self-interest at the expense of others in regard to her blog. Specifically because she is strongly critical of the finished document, NICE guidance. This person...

Thanks such useful information. I wasn’t sure what Rehab chair meant so great to know that is what I am looking for. And I do keep forgetting it is called Tilt-In-Space if you need to raise you legs which I absolutely do. A sort of ‘zero gravity’ type position… Recline function would not help...

:sneaky: Hee hee! This does look great though!
