That's an interesting twist. But then I noticed that AfME were partners of some sort (sorry already can't remember specifics) on the Unrest site. Holgate & Chowdhury trying to shine up their image in the ME community. I'm inclined to not be in a great hurry to be forgiving of people who have...

TO my understanding Neoliberal means corporate or technocratic rule. Corporations co-opted Milton Friedman's new liberalism for their own benefit and use it with an Orwellian meaning.

They're teenagers. The very definition of anxiety and volatile mood. :rolleyes:

I alternate between getting only 6 hours sleep which leaves me completely unable to manage my usual limited functioning and 14 hours of sleep which if I manage that for several weeks/months allows something more like a best baseline functioning which I do more at my peril. Even on my good days...

Yes, thanks @Wonko This is my bad. I see they are visible in the welcome section but did not when looking. Poorly functioning at the moment.

Thank you for that wise ruling. There is parsing each word for the literal meaning of a thing and then there is the intent of a rule. It is important to consider the concerns of the people posting over and legalistic rendering of a rule. Wording of any rules can only be a guide not an...

Hi @markiemark I found this not long ago: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4425030/ Don't know if it would be of any use. There are lots of references to troll through at the end.

Perhaps we can give the article lots of traffic.

Can't see that anyone has done that here. I think we're all on the same page vis a vis EC.

The coeliac plexus is for the rest of us --the solar plexus and one of the four Perrin points. The other three are: left breast area where two sensory nerves join mid point of the spine top of head...

Yes, I don't know about the redness but I have a chronic cough and often sore throat, tender glands. Although I sometimes wonder if this is due to MACS as opposed to ME proper. It's worse at the moment and it's been an utterly glorious fall and I've been laying on a lounge chair in the...

I'm not entirely clear on the structure of the TED talk universe but I think Jen Brea's talk was an actual TED talk and Esther Crawley's a TEDx talk. TEDx is not the same calibre it's labelled as a TED like talk organised by various local pods. I've never seen EC talk either and don't have the...

We need to find parents of children who've been seen by Crawley who are willing to speak up and counter the Sainthood narrative.

I like the line: "Behavioural Priming: It's all in the mind, but who's mind" Wish I'd thought of that tag line for the BPS group and whatshername's book. Who's mind indeed.

Bit of a tangent. . . I'm hoping this and other positive media stories will reach Martine McCutcheon. As a celebrity and sick person she has done such harm to the community IMO Would love to see that rectified and some celebrity somewhere find this to be a just and worthy cause to bring into...

And if you click on the top bar 'basic concepts' she has other material. Interesting because there has been some previous chatter on that other site about vitamin D and she has much to say about harm in supplementing quoting studies she says are high quality. I of course can't speak to the...

There was a comment beneath the blog that linked to some written evidence submitted suggesting some of the same points-- journalists are not independent--experts keep getting things all wrong. . ...

Unrest is also showing at Arts Picture House in Cambridge October 22nd.
