Tempted to download and listen to this, but as it almost certainly contains hypocrytical bullshit from Ben Goldacre and Fiona Fox I probably shouldn't, especially as I listen to podcasts whilst I'm driving and if I start ranting and swearing (which I always do if someone says something stupid in...

They couldn't, until she tried nicking 1.3 million quid, at which point someone somewhere raised an eyebrow and thought "Hang on, that's a bit brazen even for a UK psychiatrist ..." Being a foreigner, she didn't realise that in the UK psychiatrists pull off such scams in teams, for much larger...

Based on past encounters I would recommend not feeding EG.

I'm hopeful that CFS can be overcome once the stressful situation of the last 30 years has been dealt with.

I was quoting AfME's current position on the matter. If the volunteers didn't know not to encourage an increase in activity, or didn't know more than most doctors about ME, they shouldn't be allowed near ME sufferers. It's bad enough that those who can have to hide from the medical profession...

Well, you could ask people who say they want to help whether they believe that encouraging increases in activity may be suitable for some cases of mild ME.

I would like to suggest type FFS personality. I don't even accept that there is an effective way to categorise personality types, or that they are fixed or particularly meaningful. I can be as lazy as anyone, on the other hand I can be very driven and hard-working for sustained long periods...

That was my first thought, but after searching for the beginning quote in vain, it starting bothering me.

Pity he didn't read it properly when I wrote that I wish he'd put a sock in it.

I think I've noticed that I feel worse when the temperature is changing. If it's stable, ie during a long hot summer, or when it's cold and stays cold, I can feel ok for weeks as long as I stay within my limits. But when the temperature is changing between different spells of weather, I can go...

Opens fine in Edge, Chrome, Firefox and Opera for me.

Just out of interest, if all committee members were held to the same standard, how many of them would still be allowed to vote?

I hate to be such a stickler, but that stray apostrophe after his name is really bothering me.

Absolute bullshit. Nothing he enjoys more than trying to provoke and wind up sufferers and their supporters with his unpleasantness.

That's the same reason given for not allowing ME sufferers to donate blood in the UK. Seems to be a tried and tested line of bullshit. I'll be happy to go halves on a pantomime horse costume with anyone who's up for it. Scary thread title by the way - I thought the World Health Organisation...

That's nice of them. I agree, it's a "must" read.

It was a reply to @JemPD's question (which I quoted for the avoidance of confusion) about the therapist's therapeutic orientation, with a link to her therapeutic orientation (hermaneutic psychodynamic psychosocial blah blah), and another link to a thread where her therapeutic orientation is...
