    David Tuller - Trial By Error: Yesterday's News from the CFS/ME Research Collaborative

    Yes, possibly more of a 'virtual' new role.

    United Kingdom: ME Research Collaborative (MERC) [was CMRC] news

    I agree with this. To me the word "underpin" is being used in the same way I often use it, in the sense of "at the root of", "at the heart of", "fundamental to", etc.

    Fatigue is associated with altered monitoring and preparation of physical effort in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (2018) van der Meer et al

    I see this demonstrates muscle fatigue abnormalities compared to healthy controls. Do we know if there is anything similar that proves abnormalities against other fatigueing conditions? (I've only briefly skimmed this article).

    Hmmm ... I think I'll give that pudding a miss then, thank you very much ... :yuck: :rofl::D

    Tragic really isn't it :rolleyes:.

    United Kingdom: ME Research Collaborative (MERC) [was CMRC] news

    That may be the publicly sanitised presentation, but I'll bet it's a bit less voluntary than that in practice.

    United Kingdom: ME Research Collaborative (MERC) [was CMRC] news

    I'd have thought a sideways promotion might appeal to Bristol Uni - something to get EC out of the limelight and stop embarrassing them, maybe even try and stop her pulling them down the plughole after her.

    Depersonalization Anyone, Or Am I Crazy?

    Does writing, like you did in your post, help also?

    Esther Crawley

    Or the version I know of how many psychologists to change a light bulb ... Only one, but the lightbulb really has to want to change. Found it really funny when I first heard it years ago, but now it seems to have more sinister connotations.

    Gary Burgess talking ME/CFS BBC Radio 5 live Wed 1pm

    Absolutely. But I think that will get a much bigger boost once the PACE/BPS farce finally gets sorted.

    MUST Fight MUS

    But of course many sociopaths are highly ambitious, often beyond their abilities, and end up being very sensitive to criticism. Their easy charm and slick answers being their substitute for answers beyond their capabilities.

    DWP seeking CCTV footage against disabled

    Yep. It's the mechanism by which whole groups discard empathy for another group, and so feel justified in treating them appallingly. One of the key ways this is done psychologically is by labelling groups of people. e.g. Labelling people vermin, as a way of justifying treating them as such. Or...

    MUST Fight MUS

    I think it is much more to with highly ambitious unscrupulous power mongers making land grabs.

    David Tuller - Trial By Error: News About My Plans

    Excellent news @dave30th. Your work is obviously of huge value in its own right, but I also believe it is contributing indirectly to some of the other important advocacy endeavours - informing, encouraging and enabling them. There is a real groundswell of change getting underway now, and I...

    Gary Burgess talking ME/CFS BBC Radio 5 live Wed 1pm

    Absolutely. The snowball is steadily picking up speed down the slope and getting bigger and bigger. Somewhere soon the BPS crowd are no longer going to be able to run away from it!

    Petition: Remove CBT/GET from NICE guidelines NOW (ALL COUNTRIES can sign)

    True, but if that is actually a picture of the real doctor, then you can't blame her for the way she looks ... I'd assumed it was as I've seen that picture on her own website somewhere, but cannot now find where. But I may have just got my wires crossed for a change. Edit: This is who I was...

    Petition: Remove CBT/GET from NICE guidelines NOW (ALL COUNTRIES can sign)

    Never saw it that way until you said, and still don't now. To me it shows a doctor holding her head in her hand, as people do when shattered; her posture is just the same as when you have your elbow on the desk for support.

    DNA testing on Long Term Health Insurance and Life Insurance

    Insurance is all about spreading risk across individuals who do not know their individual risks. Once individuals and insurance companies know the individual risks, then presumably the whole business model of life and health insurance is up a gum tree.
