Because using your brain needs a lot of energy

Well they are the main researchers. Isn’t it something that was generated by patients?

There used to be 3 practices covering my area 2 now as my old one has since closed down.

Nope it may not be that common but I found it very easy to change to another GP Practice. And within practices there are often several Drs available. I only changed because the practice was relying on locums and I had very poor experience with them. My current GP practice is well run and...

Thanks for flagging this @Hutan @phil_in_bristol i can confirm that this booklet along with AFME booklet about employment/guide for employers are what I based my approach to ME/CFS in the first 18 months from diagnosis rather than resting for several months/a year I went back to work on gradual...

Establishment digging their heels in - they are embarrassing

Anyone else think SMC are trying to be clever by getting quote from a Prof from LSHTM

:banghead::wtf:

Maybe it’s not even seen as a complaint maybe it’s put down to health anxiety or catastrophising through spending too much time researching on the internet and talking to others on patient forums
