    Coronavirus - worldwide spread and control

    The public health messaging has been dire in UK. Reactive, confusing and transferring responsibility from the state onto individual. If messages are not concise, simple to understand and readily communicable then individuals cannot make informed decisions. I am.old enough to remember the AIDS...

    United Kingdom: ME/CFS in The Times (including Sean O'Neill)

    This. For all his criticism re COVID, he was in charge when operation Cygnus was undertaken and failed to address the resourcing issues it threw up. The lack of readiness was on his watch. That said I know of parents who have met with him re issues with ME and he appeared sympathetic and...

    Clinical History Segment Extraction from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Assessments to Model Disease Trajectories , 2020, Chalder et al

    this assumes that medical records are cogent, correct and the specialist has some depth of knowledge about the condition- given the many instances discussed here I am not sure that this is a sound enough foundation to base much upon asking questions is a skill - leading questions is an issue ...

    The Times: Chronic fatigue syndrome: ME families accused of child abuse

    Juvenile myasthenia gravis unmasked: a case of a teenage female (with CFS diagnosis) who presented in acute respiratory failure, 2020, Leyens

    Juvenile CFS cast as fatigue - little knowledge of comorbidities or the full range of symptoms , especially if severely affected ( remember EC thinks school is doable for an hour if severely affected) - this may highlight how preconceptions govern treatment. I can't access full article to see...

    The Relationship Between Childhood Trauma and the Response to Group CBT for CFS, 2020, De Venter et al

    with the current focus on ACEs ( Adverse childhood events) and these being pulled into every sphere of life childhood trauma is both big business and an Elastoplast for all life's ills. It's a distraction - there is no question that some children experience trauma that deeply affects them...

    Independent advisory group for the full update of the Cochrane review on exercise therapy and ME/CFS (2020), led by Hilda Bastian

    Sorry for the diversion, but the tweet below highlights why this review is so critical. This also happens to children. Much guidance / advice references Cochrane reviews , it gives the authority as being a solid base for those unaware of issues ( 2 doctors in wider family independently...
