Exertion is not simply physical. We find emotional exertion is one of the biggest energy rappers, perhaps as it more difficult to gauge and less easy to control / reign in. Mental exertion can as bad as physical and can provoke overstimulatory sensory hell.

If you can't do this as an undergraduate because it us so basically wrong, it shows how badly the process has been corrupted.

So sorry to hear how,awful things have been for you. The article is perhaps not as bad as a recent one on endometriosis- this looked at the impact of painful sex if you were Male. I have a friend who has endometriosis which took years to diagnose, she sent me a link to the paper with some...

Given that Sonya Chowdery has , I believe, commented that recovery means full recovery it would be good if @Action for M.E. would comment on this. A tweet/ facebook page comment could be effective.

We seem to be going through a historical revisionist period in UK. Having redefined poverty many times to provide compliant/ improving spin on figures it should not come as any surprise that recovery is seen as similarly flexible. How on earth would so many psychological treatments work if...
