    Closed UK: DecodeME updates, was recruitment thread.

    Yes because there’s so little research been done it’s not surprising people don’t get it straight away. Plus people generally don’t read into the detail of any information, tending to skim through.

    United Kingdom: UKCRC (UK Clinical Research Collaboration) Subgroup on ME (part of the UK Government ME/CFS Delivery Plan)

    The only way to know if this round will result in some progress is to continue with it, chipping away at the status quo with common sense, science, the back up from NICE guidelines, cross party political support through APPG. Like the NICE guidelines it will be less than desired but if we can...

    United Kingdom - Thérèse Coffey appointed Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Sept 2022

    As far as I’m aware it’s standard practice for ministers offices to send out a steer on how to draft letters for the minister’s signature and also on any preference the minister has for the format of written briefing. This is a storm in a teacup. Sadly the press prefers to focus on such non...

    Letter to BMJ: "Medical gaslighting: to say that invoking psychological symptoms is equivalent to dismissal is reductionist", Michael Sharpe

    Well we shouldn’t be surprised he wanted to comment. He is after all an expert on gaslighting.

    Return-to-Work Following Occupational Rehabilitation for Long COVID: A Cohort Study, 2022, Brehon et al

    Interesting @rvallee I had to go down to 15 hours paid a week but often couldn’t reliably manage that so yeah 10-15 hours a week. Which is unviable financially and in quite a lot jobs/roles you’re not making a viable contribution to the employer/clients due to deadlines.

    Return-to-Work Following Occupational Rehabilitation for Long COVID: A Cohort Study, 2022, Brehon et al

    After I finally got diagnosed I tried for 2 years to try to get back to reasonable/consistent level of functioning in my job. A lot of adjustments were made. Nothing of value other than ticking a box came from the CFS clinic PACE light course during that time. People will persist in trying for...

    Genetic Risk Factors for ME/CFS Identified using Combinatorial Analysis, 2022, Das et al

    Apologies for an extremely basic question. We know there are issues with misdiagnosis in both including people as ME/CFS but also taking years for people to get an MECFS diagnosis. It seems anecdotally that some people with MS first get diagnosed with MECFS then after a few years get MS...

    Yeah I agree. The first one was a bit confusing because the colours are similar and then the shapes show the difference

    Agree it should be all focused on the study and definitely Chris did a good job of bringing it back on topic. The journalist feeble attempt to spice it up with a bit of populist controversy but Chris didn’t bite. :thumbup:

    Suzy Weiss Manifesto on “Spoonie” Culture

    Yeah exactly, clearly the quote invented by a clueless healthy person who fails to understand the lack of support we receive.
