    Are there symptoms you had in the early stages of ME that you no longer get?

    Amongst all the other things, I used to get mild, but nagging pains level with bottom rib on both left and right sides. I was told this was liver and spleen involved in immune response. The liver pain has gone but the spleen one is still constantly there.

    Tymes Trust - No reported harassment of staff at Bristol University

    I am at a loss to understand why it might be thought that the only way in which information might be used is an action for defamation, but have run out of the energy necessary to discuss the point.

    Tymes Trust - No reported harassment of staff at Bristol University

    I think that what is now under discussion is the allegations made in the document quoted by @dxrevisionwatch at #28 EDIT crossed with last post #42

    Tymes Trust - No reported harassment of staff at Bristol University

    As a matter of interest, to whom apart from CS could this allude? What might reasonably be termed "leading Charities" and who was in charge of them at the time. I think they should make a joint application to the SMC to withdraw this scurrilous accusation as being, such a small group, all are at...

    Tymes Trust - No reported harassment of staff at Bristol University

    There aren't many leading charities. And we can presumably leave out AfME. EDIT For the avoidance of doubt, I do not for one moment believe these allegations to be true.

    Tymes Trust - No reported harassment of staff at Bristol University

    Certainly, but in other circumstances tampering with the evidence is strongly disapproved of.

    Tymes Trust - No reported harassment of staff at Bristol University

    She could hardly tell us that original threatening messages have to be kept undisclosed on the basis of patient confidentiality. She always says how all her patients are supportive and encourage her work.

    Keeping Up Appearances - How to look good while feeling ill

    Is this the thread where we discuss the hyacinth bucket or is it that the plants and gardens? I get confused.

    Another question to arise, and to which we will probably never know the answer , is, has this image been used at such lectures in the past, and if so, how often? It seems unlikely that this is its first appearance. Who knows how many might have been prejudiced by this nonsense?

    Better Science through Better Data 25th October 2017 - Esther Crawley!

    Does anyone know whether questions were ever raised with the newspaper and the journalist about the creation of these images in the first place and their use with the article? They seem wildly inappropriate for a supposedly serious newspaper to have used. Had it been the News of the World one...

    Esther Crawley talk at TEDxBristol, Thurs 2nd Bristol - "Disrupting Your View Of ME"

    Those who cannot bear to watch the whole thing have a duty to at least watch from about 5.50, for not very long.

    Do you have throat problems?

    This is an interesting question which I have been pondering. In the first ten years or so I often used to get the throat inflammations which are common. This used to involve big white patches where the tonsils would have been, surrounded by red and white mottling.The tongue was also covered in...

    Burning ankle?

    Not in the ankle, but I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with a burning knee. It is back to normal by morning. I have no problems with the knee at other times. I doubt if it is arthritis. It possibly occurs with the cycle of the illness but am unsure how. I stopped noting the...

    Better Science through Better Data 25th October 2017 - Esther Crawley!

    We may have missed the greatest irony in this, or at least, I had. The title of the lectures was "Better Science through Better Data". And to illustrate the theme we have an image which may, or may not, be a representation of an email received by her, or by someone else. Or possibly it is a...

    Better Science through Better Data 25th October 2017 - Esther Crawley!

    Thanks for that transcription @Cheshire . It is very useful This is complex. She does not expressly state that this message was sent to her. She does expressly state that the original was ever in her possession. She states that the image used by the Sunday Times was an email of a type of...

    This is becoming potentially very serious for her. It would seem to give DT ammunition which a university cannot reasonably ignore.

    Under the new rules I really ought to report that post as a deliberate attempt to wind me up.

    Better Science through Better Data 25th October 2017 - Esther Crawley!

    I'm afraid I am going to be pedantic (because that's what I am). The use of the word inferred in Andy Hugh's tweet is significant. Did he use the word appropriately, or did he mean implied? Have people misinterpreted what was said or did she deliberately create a false impression? I did not...

    Criticizing a Scientist’s Work Isn’t Bullying. It’s Science.

    I'm sorry too. Sometimes my responses look much more curt and hostile than they are intended to be. I think this was such an occasion. Brevity is not always for the best.

    Better Science through Better Data 25th October 2017 - Esther Crawley!

    That message seems rather generic. One might suspect her of many things, but having balls to cut off is not one of them. Did she say whether this message had been handed to the police with the envelope in which it was delivered? Could have been sent by anyone to anyone.
